AllisonFit: Success and a New Favorite App

Hey Everyone! Sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve had an installment in this series!  But, I decided it’s time for an update, since so much has happened for me since graduating college in this area of my life.

On the most important and exciting front… I’ve lost 15 POUNDS!!!! I’m incredibly proud of myself for achieving this goal of mine.  While just by looking at myself I can’t really tell that I’ve lost this weight, the scales don’t lie – that weight is gone, and I can’t even express my joy over that.  I’ve been watching what I eat, exercising a bit more, and the juicing experience last month definitely gave me the jumpstart that I needed.

In addition to my super weight loss success, I’ve also discovered an awesome new app that I’ve added to my phone that has helped me keep track of my health tremendously.  It’s called “Noom.”  I believe it was free in the Google Play store, which is just a great extra bonus.  You do have the option to pay for an ‘upgraded’ Noom Plus version of the app.

This app first and foremost is amazing because it has a built in pedometer and each day you have goals of how many steps you need to take.  It also has trackers for meals and exercises.  For each goal you complete, or action completed, you earn Noom points, and when you earn so many points, you move up a level.  It’s a great self-motivating tool because I’m always competing with myself, trying to increase levels. 

The app also has a weight tracker where you can weigh yourself and it will show you a graph that tracks your weight progress as it fluctuates.  I love visually being able to see my progress.  There is also a waist log progress section which I have not made use of.  But I probably should begin to use that portion of the app, because that is a great tool.

Overall, this is by far my favorite fitness app that I’ve come across.  In the past, I’ve never seen a weight and food and exercise tracker all in one – I’ve had to use separate apps for them.  Having all of these things in one app is so much more convenient.

I hope you all have been working hard and have been having success in your own personal fitness goals. And if you haven’t, keep on pushing yourselves and trying!  You CAN do it!   Believe me, I never thought I could, but I managed to.  If I can, then you can!


Good luck everyone!
