  • I have logged for the past 190 days! I am fanatical about it. I have plugged my own recipes in to get accurate calorie counts per serving. I am looking for a food scale - I use the old WW measures for serving sizes if I am eating something that is not labeled or doesn't fit into a measuring cup. One thing might be off -…
  • MFP gives me 1200 calories for any rate of weight loss. It increases to 1340 only if I say I want to maintain my current weight.

  • I've checked multiple places for calorie counts for golf, using a cart, and they all seem way too high to me. I play 3-4 times a week (except now during the virus crisis) and usually under report my time by an hour. That still gives me 700+ exercise calories.

  • I don't think the program itself hypes quick weight loss. You can set your speed, just like with MFP, and calories adjust accordingly. I lost 16 lbs in 4 months - so there was no rapid weight loss going on here. Everyone who commented on the food database and clunkiness of the app in logging are spot on. For me, it served…

  • I lost 16 lbs with Noom over 4 months or so. I liked the psychology behind it and the calorie counting vs. counting points and having "free" food on WW. Where it all fell apart for me was with their lack of maintenance content. I am 2 lbs from my original goal and could not get any info on what was next with the program. I…
