Anybody else looking to lose weight this year?

6. noom looks pretty good.

i'm not but have a dear friend who is pretty obese. she also has a lot of emotional issues that she isnt dealing w.
i'm trying to convince her to try noom, because it is basically cognitive behavioral therapy training wrapped around food. it is the only type of emotional therapy that has a track record, and it is a good one. she needs that more than she needs to be skinny.

i will add to that, tho, that i recently started taking a strong probiotic for my gut issues, along w a fiber supplement. the pain was gone in a couple of days, and my bowel function calmed down w/in a week or so.
it's been 3 mos. i lost 10 lbs, w/o changing my eating habits at all. i didnt have a lot to lose. i have only every been about 40 lb over, and i was only about 15 over ideal when i started, so it isnt exactly low hanging fruit.
also, my stubborn bad cholesterol is now perfect.

lots of science behind gut biome, and a lot of research coming to fruition. been watching this issue for 20 years, as i have a kid w chron's.
i think it is helping my mood, also.

good luck.
