ww etools
 

Does anyone use ww etools? I was just wondering if it is worth the money.

thanks

I enjoy it because I am a computer nerd and hate my handwriting. LOL! I like the online journal and since we have a laptop for traveling I have everything available online and don't have to lug around my W/W materials.

It does have some other features such as a weight tracker, recipe builder (to me it is the worst) as well as some other features.

I like it and feel it is totally worth the cost.

If you go to the meetings,they have a paper there for a two week trial for the etools online.I just picked one up tonight

snapplegirl69, thanks for letting me know. I just got back from my meeting and they didn't have anything like that. i always miss out on all the good discounts.

Next time you go,ask for it..I just happened to actually read one of the things on the table..lol..

Sometimes if your WW leader belongs to a small franchise and not international you don't get all teh promotional materials. We can't use many coupons and don't get the deals that international members do. We live in rural PA and are part of the WW of Rochester, NY. Our meetings tend to cost more as do books and such. Our books run $8-$10 but I've heard otehr places you can get them for $5. Also, like I said we can't use coupons and don't get promotional materials for things like free registration, or a special weekly fee. If I want etools I have to go through a process of faxing my membership books and waiting for approval and I don't get any deals on it. Some areas just can't sign right up. So you may not have missed the coupon they just might not have it.

As far as etools go, I did WW online and frankly I wasn't that impressed. It was ok. Maybe coupled with meetings it would be better. They did have some good articles, but you can get to alot of them for free. I don't like thier message boards that much. The recipe builder kinda stinks. You can do better with something like Master cook. It is nice to just look stuff up, and with a laptop it may be more useful. I did like teh activity points calculator. That was nice. For the most part I felt like I could do better with stuff I found for free online and inexpensive software and the materials I already had from WW.

I've never gone to meetings and I don't think I have to. I love using the points tracker online (although I've had to add a LOT of stuff and guesstimate on others)! I sometimes hit the message boards as well. I do use the weight tracker, just to keep me to weighing in once a week.

I think it's worth it...but that's just me.
