I have struggled with my body image and health since I was very young, including having a gym membership at only 13. I ate only grapefruit and lettuce and thought I was very healthy and fit until I almost shut down my metabolism/thyroid. At 15, I was on medication for hypothyroidism. I struggled with eating and diets throughout my life. I became diabetic (type 2) and disliked my body. I tried Noom, and I really did wake up, put my pants on, and notice a significant fit that surprised me. How was this happening? Noom worked as long as I put the daily footwork in to change my habits and work on my goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside to using Noom was that when I became inundated with life obstacles and stresses, I missed helpful daily practices in the app and wanted it to pause for a moment while I got back on track and caught up. Still, the app keeps going day after day, and I just let it go and then canceled my subscription. I tried it again. The same thing happened. I'd be scrolling backward to try to catch up and then rush through and not put all of my focus into consciously working on the daily readings, goals, and activities. I was trying to complete each day I missed to catch up. I once again canceled the subscription. It would be great if there were a way to pause for a moment to deal with obstacles such as sudden family deaths, accidents, job loss, etc. Or another module to work with sudden life obstacles. But it never stops or pauses, and the river keeps flowing, and I can't keep up with it, so I cancel and give up. I understand working on the daily tasks is supposed to teach me to continue through life obstacles; however, some obstacles do completely derail, and they should implement something to address that.
