The Bottom Line
Noom is a mobile-based weight loss program focused on psychology. Its goal is to get you to think differently about food. While coaching could be better, overall this is an engaging and enjoyable program that worked well for us in testing.
Noom Review
WW (formerly Weight Watchers) offers an excellent program for long-term weight loss and comes with the most supportive community you'll find, though the branded language it requires you to learn may be off-putting to some.
WW Review

Since early 2020, it has been tougher than ever to take care of ourselves. Everyone is dealing with added stress, anxiety, and pressures—some to a much greater degree than others. Even if you and your family are all healthy and you still have a job, chances are good that you're working from home, having kids go to school remotely. All that extra stress makes it much harder to focus on taking care of ourselves. A Gallup poll shows that more than half of all Americans, 54 percent, have a desire to lose weight. If you decide that losing weight is right for you, a great place to get help and support is with a weight loss app and program. Two popular options are Noom, which is a relative newcomer to the space, and WW, formerly WeightWatchers.
