Hello

I didn't find Noom useful. Tried it for 6 months, but their exercises and commentary wasn't useful for a guy in my physical condition - and at that time I had an umbilical hernia which really interefered with the exercise portion.

i'm 52. Fat. (no punches pulled. i'm *very heavy*). out of shape. All the 'psychology' in Noom just made me feel preached at.

For me, the only way to do a routine is when I get up before my day gets 'started'. I get out of bed, have coffee, read the news etc for 20 minutes, and then its either a cardio or a weights routine before I have to head to work....

i'm not 'packing on pounds' or 'out of shape'. I've already packed them on, and i'm in terrible shape. But hey -- if I can find a switch to flip to start changing it, anyone can.

Start with something you can do. I found a low-impact, moderately-high intensity HIIT on Youtube that I started with 3 days a week. couple weeks back I went ebay/kijiji hunting and found barbells and dumbbells and weight plates...


I *highly* suggest getting some adjustable dumbells. they aren't 'the best body builders' , but they are convenient and will let you get a lot of exercises out of them without needing a lot of other equipment, or taking up a ton of space.

i plan on fitting all of me into one of these pantelgs by this time next year......

And.. this tool, in my not-that-humble-opinion-..... is going to help you WAY MORE than Noom.
