How would you rate etools for WW?

  • I am currently doing WW123 but was *thinking* about going to the meetings because a friend asked me. How do you guys feel about etools? is it worth the money? Do you have to go to the meetings to get etools? or can you just go once?

    I have alot of problems with planning meals.. mostly supper. Any ideas? It seems it's always 4pm and I don't have a clue what's for supper?

    Thanks so much!!

  • I was all enthused and ready to sign up for e-tools, so I went to the WW site with my code (which you get in a brochure that you get at your meeting, and which works only once, to sign up).

    It told me that once I sign up, it would keep billing me automatically until the end of time until I shut it off. That's all well and good, but I just don't sign up for online things that automatically renew. I've known too many people to get burned by this. So, I didn't complete signing up for e-tools.

    Something that I like for supper is stir-fry. It's quick, easy, delicious, and it can be good for you! Plus, if I'm hungry I add a little more veggies.
  • Hi.......
    In regards to mealtime planning.the first step is to NOT wait until 4 PM..even Ralph Waldo Emerson said "A problem recognized is half solved!"..so..you recognized its a problem and now need to think ahead of time!

    I think about what we will all have for mealtime in the morning...so most of the time I will know whether or not I have everything I need. Like this morning I am thawing out chicken breast for a STOVETOP.chicken in the box mix for supper.It takes an hour to bake ........I know that so I will know when to prepare it!

    As far as your e tools question. It is hard to answer because its personal preference. I was given the one time free access at WW Meeting....and viewed it.many were afraid they would be automatically subscribed...a HUGE CORP like Weight Watchers would not put out a one time access code to trick people into a 6 month subscription!! They have a better reputation than that! It is for your viewing to see if it is something of value to you! I think people who love recording and using their computer.like lap tops would probably love the things available. Personally I liked it but record in a journal and find it faster to look up foods in a book.

    I hope this is helpful in some way...didnt mean to "write a book"
