One of the first things I get all my clients to do is download the Noom app and get set up with a free trial for health and fitness coaching. It makes keeping track of all your daily food and calorie intake so much easier.
I think that the conscious tracking of all that nutrition may really help in making healthier decisions and lifestyle changes. I’ve seen many of my clients succeed in their weight loss with the help of this simple app.
And for this post, I want to bring you some inspirational stories I have found.
The problem with a lot of online reviews is that you need to be careful about what you can trust. Some people may have unrealistic expectations without changing their relationship with food and exercise. Negative comments from people like that should always be ignored.
But when you read some of the positive experiences on Instagram, you’ll often find blatantly photoshopped images with results that are pure fiction.
So, we turned to the Noom support blog and YouTube and pulled out those successes that look and feel real.
Our Favorite Noom Success Stories
1 - Sarah
Sarah’s struggles with weight management started after she became a mom of two.
This is a very common time for women, with balancing fitness and healthy foods becoming difficult when you’re so busy with work and parenting.
Overall, Sarah’s weight loss amounted to 13 lbs, and she points to the support from a professional exercise and diet coach as being instrumental.
Where she would normally start to lose motivation for a diet plan, her coach was able to keep her on target with new healthy habits.
2 - Whitney
Whitney’s story is another common one for women today. During college and after graduating, her weight crept higher by a few pounds every year. This almost goes unnoticed until one day, she just realized that she didn’t feel comfortable with it anymore.
And it’s certainly not recommended to leave that trajectory to continue.
With some sporadic success with other diets, she did manage to lose weight, but it never stayed off.
What changed things for her?
Again, it’s the support from the Noom diet program coach and the group chats that she found to have helped her most.
3 - Alicia
Losing more than a pound a week consistently for 16 weeks seems to be too good to be true. But I have seen some of my clients achieve such goals with the right dedication and time investment.
Alicia achieved this by sticking to the recommended exercise programs and daily challenges that Noom provides. Changing her lifestyle to focusing on eating healthy food, put her on a journey to success.
Why did it work for her?
Unlike many other diets, Noom is based on creating sustainable but not too drastic changes in your life that you can actually enjoy.
4 - Erin
Erin’s biggest problem with other diet and exercise programs was hitting a plateau.
To her credit, she managed to stick with healthy lifestyle changes and lost a lot of body weight. However, she would always get to a weight where no matter what she did, it simply didn’t help her get to her ideal weight loss goals.
What Noom allowed her to do is keep a lot more accurate tabs on the food she ate. The data that she got from the app revealed a rather common problem: carelessness at weekends.
By changing her habits at weekends, Erin was able to break through the plateau and lose 18 lbs in just 4 months.
Noom has been different because not only am I able to track food and exercise within the app, but the articles help me understand triggers, motivations, and risk factors, and set SMART goals around solving them.

5 - Laura Marschel
After facing the reality that Laura was about 1 pound away from being at her heaviest weight. She knew things had to change. Due to some health issues, she had struggled with managing her weight, and she figured something had to be done.
It took commitment to food logging and using the color coding to start making some healthy changes. With the help of detailed menus and the daily tips and challenges, she was able to fit these changes into her busy life as a mom.
In her review video, you can see that Laura looks healthier, which she fully credits the Noom app for.
6 - Jaclyn
If you watch Jaclyn’s video, you wouldn’t believe that she once weighed almost 190 lbs. In her late 20s, her doctor told her that her blood pressure was high and most likely weight-related[1]. That gave her the necessary wakeup call that things had to change.
From the moment she opened the app, she loved how easy the process was for logging your food. With the daily tips, news, and challenges, she liked that even the odd bad week didn’t actually make her feel bad or judged.
Instead, she got an actionable plan to make improvements that led to her current weight of 126 lbs.
7 - Nicki
Nicki’s aim was to lose weight and keep it off without the constant fluctuations.
The video she posted to YouTube shows her results over a two-week period, where she followed the exercise goals and recommended recipes.
Within the first 3 days, she managed to lose 2 lbs. By the end of the second week, she had lost 6 lbs in total.
One of her highlights of the app is that it gives great ideas for all meals during the day with recipes from all over the world.
