Noom is still great after two years!
It's October, 2021, so that means it's been about two years since I signed up with Noom, and I still feel great about the program! That's not to say that I don't fail more now than when I…
Noom and me -- one year later
It's been a year since I signed up with Noom. Here are some facts. First the negative. My current diet is not what I'd like it to be. Specifically, I eat way too much sugar, mostly in the…
Gaining weight during the pandemic?
I see so many people and memes commenting on social media about how they are not exercising and eating poorly during the COVID-19 pandemic. I understand. It's tough. The gyms are either closed or we think they're too…
My life during quarantine and still losing weight with Noom ... sort of
Like many other people, I am living life in virtual quarantine because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has been going on for about 1.5 months officially. I am in San Antonio, and we are pretty much opening back…
Noom has helped me lose 30 pounds
I am now almost to 30 pounds down on Noom. What? How'd that happen? When I started the program I figured maybe after 20 pounds my body would stop losing, but here I am almost 30 pounds lighter,…
Living life 20 pounds lighter
I am not yet 20 pounds lighter from when I began the Noom Health and Wellness program. I'm only 15 pounds lighter since then. However, I was hovering around 200 pounds just 6 months ago, and now I…
New Year's resolutions, fitness goals, and the Noom Health and Wellness Program
My new year's resolution is to stick with the Noom Health and Wellness program. But let me give you some background that led me to that decision. The holidays and illness knocked me out of my total fitness…
Sickness v. Fitness
I rarely get sick any more, but I've had a cold for a few days now. At least, I think it's just a cold, I hope so. Illness is bad enough, but when I'm sick and hanging at…
Losing weight with Noom
I've been trying to lose fat for the past few years, and I've failed, but after 6 weeks on Noom I'm down 12 pounds, and I have a feeling of accomplishment.
My zigzag weight loss plan
I'm still on the Noom weight loss program. It's been 5 weeks. However, something different happened this week: my weight went up. Now, I know that weight loss, slow, healthy weight loss doesn't happen in a line that…
10 pounds in 4 weeks on Noom
I just finished my 4th week on the Noom program, and I'm down 10 pounds. That's pretty phenomenal. And it's not the result of starving myself. I was talking to my friend Lex the other day, and I…
How I am changing myself through Noom
I've noticed some changes in myself since starting the Noom program 3.5 weeks ago: my weight is down, my skin is softer, and I'm not afraid of any foods.
My dietary and exercise habits are improving
I'm winding down Week 3 of my Noom program, and I'm feeling pretty good about how I've done so far. My calorie overruns were not as out of control this week. I only went way over a couple…
Time to meet my Noom group. Am I ready for this?
It's the start of Week 3 of my Noom program. That means that in addition to my Goal Specialist, Kyle, I now have a Group of I'm not sure how many other Noomies, and a Group Coach, Whitney.…
Weighing in with Noom
The Noom program wants me to weigh in daily, but that's not good for me. Fortunately, Noom allows me to tailor the program to my needs.
My relationship with ice cream
I love ice cream. I don't think that puts me in the minority of humans. What's not to love about ice cream? It's creamy. It's sweet. It's delicious! I'm including gelato under the "ice cream" label, even though…
Evaluation of Noom after one week on the program
I like the psychology behind the program. It's geared to help me change my habits. There are no banned foods, nothing I can't eat.
I'm pushing myself with walking as my primary exercise
This morning, as part of my Noom program, I walked 3 miles in 54 minutes. That seemed really fast to me, so I doubted the reading on my Letsfit fitness tracker, but I mapped my route with Google,…
Yesterday I hit my 10k steps and ate like a pig
I ate so much yesterday, busting my calorie limit by 1,000, but I got 10,000 steps in, and I think that helped me stay on track with my Noom goals.
My relationship with exercise
I just got a bump from Kyle, my Noom Goal Specialist, asking me to make a goal to help with something I struggle with, like exercise, or blah blah blah. Exercise has often been a struggle for me.…
Electronic devices and weighing in and positive influences and philosophy on life
I may have messed up last night. Just before I went to sleep, I turned off notifications from my Letsfit fitness tracker to my phone, and when I woke this morning, my sleep was not tracked. Now, I…
Tracking steps and sleep
Seems that I've found an inexpensive alternative to Fitbit. Admittedly I've only had it a couple days, but I'm very pleased thus far.
The Noom app and logging meals
The Noom app is pretty great. I like the way it gives me information and tests retention of that information. I'm going to try logging meals.
Tracking my food intake and my steps
Here are some tips to products I am using in journey through the Noom program. These weren't available to me when I first got fit 15 years ago!
Creating my Noom profile
If you are looking for a guide through the Noom program, this is for you. I'm tracking my Noom journey from signup to goal achievement.
It's October 28, 2019, and I signed up for Noom today
I've avoided Noom for so long because it seems expansive. But my friend is doing well on the program, so I decided to try it. Follow me on my Noom journey.
