She Doubted Noom Would Work — Then Lost 35 Pounds in 5 Months and Kept It Off for Years
4 min read · RealCase summary
Sherry, then 52, started a free trial of the Noom app on January 1, 2021, at 172 pounds, initially targeting a 25-pound loss down to 147 pounds.
Noom put her on a 1,200-calorie daily allowance and had her log food with a barcode scanner, weigh in daily, track exercise, and follow a red/yellow/green food categorization system, alongside daily 10-minute lessons and group plus personal coaching.
By April she had lost her initial goal of 25 pounds, and lost an additional 8 pounds by the end of May — 35 pounds total over five months. "I lost 35 pounds in 5 months," she said. "I don't know if it'll work for you, but I really liked the program."
Roughly two years later, in 2023, Sherry had kept off nearly all the weight, having regained only about 4 pounds, and had shifted from running to regular biking to stay active.
