Is anyone using the WW e-tools? I am thinking of trying it out but would like some feedback from someone who has used them before I sign up.

What is E-Tools?

I'm in Boston, MA....and they don't have E-tools for this area yet! Drives me crazy.....because its not like Boston is in the sticks where hardly anyone goes.....there's a TON of WW people at my meetings!

I've heard great things about them!

See my correction further down this thread.

Wow...they must have just recently added Boston/Middlesex county to the list, because of two weeks ago we couldn't get etools! Thanks for the info!

tjsjazzgirl,

I'm in Dallas and E-Tools is not available here either! I would love to know what people really think of it. I have read mixed reviews.

Is in fact only available in area 501, what ever that means. The NAACO part of Weight Watchers, and NOT the franchised offices... So, I stand, having corrected myself. I just called our staff line. It is being test marketed here, and will be distributed throughout the U.S. shortly. DUH. Sorry.

Imaleader,

Thanks for the scoop. What do people think about it?

On the whole, people love it. It gives you an alternate perspective on the program and not new, but differently presented information. Basically, everything you get in the meeting room, but in the written/read format. People learn and absorb information differently, and this is a format that encourages participation from another perspective. There are loads and loads of recipes; tips, hints about the program; excercise, activity. In short, it's a full service health-oriented web site.

I've only had positive feedback.... Now, are you in an area in which it is currently unavailable? Call the WW 800 number (651-6000) and tell them you want it where you are. Also, call your franchise and tell them to get on the stick about participating or subscribing... Keep us posted.

Imaleader,

I asked today while at the meeting and my leader said that the Dallas area isn't going to get it. She said that if you follow the directions on WW's page, you can get it.

I think I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for your help.

If you go to the WW web page, you can check to see if your area has e-tools. I'm in Louisiana and all places in Louisiana have it available. You have to get an access code from your meeting place. If none is available, you can get the code my mail. It is all explained on the web page.

Thanks for the feedback, Imaleader. I am going to get my access code at my next meeting and try out e-tools.

Hi All!

I, too, was having problems getting eTools in my area. Someone at one of my meetings figured out how to do it. You go to their website, click on Subscribe to eTools and then click on "See if available in your area". Then there is some green text that says "If your area is not listed, click here". When you click there, it gives the whole procedure for how to sign up for eTools (you need an access code) if it's not offered in your area. Yippee!!

Good luck and keep up the fight!

Hi All,

I got E-tools today. I love it. It made figuring up my points so easy. I think it wil really help. It takes no time at all figuring out how to use it.

Whahooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are looking at tail lights...I am ON it! thanks, dizzyd, for the GREAT news!!!

i subscribed to eTools and I really am having a ball so far. It's just been two days, but, I think I have figured it out. The Journal/Food lists give me Half Points! and, I notice, some foods are more POINTS than listed in the Food Companion--especially if eaten in more than one portion at a time. That is an eye-opener!
Anybody used the Meal Plans?
