Best weight loss app and perhaps one of the best apps for Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Noom weight loss coach is definitely the best app for me to help lose weight. I would go to the extend of saying that it is the best app for me to have on my phone.  Though I have used a lot of apps, most of them have been for fun (games), some for them productivity but this is one app that has changed the way I use my phone.

Noom really does what it claims to do. It really helps lose weight!!!!!!!!! I have lost 5.5 kgs in 1.5 months and am still hopeful of losing more. It has really helped bring a lot of positive change in my life. (UPDATE: HAVE LOST 6.5 KGS IN 2 MONTHS. COULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT NOOM)

This app begins by entering your profile i.e. your sex, height, weight and target weight and the ease of tasks to be offered.This app helped me by tracking my weight, exercise and logging the food I had.

This is how a typical home screen of this app looks like -

It has four sections - Coach, Logbook, Forum and History.

The coach section tells about your noom level which keeps increasing by doing tasks (reading articles, logging meals & exercise, walking, recording weight etc.)

The Logbook section helps by logging meals, workout, weight and waist(only in pro version). Logging is  exhaustive, quite effective and easy compared to other apps.

The forum section provides support and lot of information esp. success stories, about how people overcame common problems and also great diet recipes.

The history section helps monitor workout and tasks done in past. In past while exercising I would skip a few days here and there and still think that I was exercising fairly regularly, but know I know exactly how much I am exercising (consistency is more important than anything).

Noom keeps the motivation going by

  •        tracking your weight changes graphically.

  •        tracking the exercise done.
  •        providing relevant, factual and interesting information everyday.
  •        forum provides the human aspect of support

     
It is not as if the app is perfect. In my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 the pedometer does not work when the phone is on standby. The pedometer works perfectly well on my wife's Sony Xperia Sola. But still, till now apps would be fun and helpful, but this app has made my mobile really fruitful for me.

A word of caution to the developers - who would buy a pro version when the free app works so well!!!!!!!!!
