Does Anyone use E-tools w/ Weight Watchers?

[jazzcat]

If so, what do you think about it? Is it worth the $$ . I had ordered WW at home and you can't get e-tools without an access code from a meeting. I really don't understand why since you have to pay for the service anyway. I feel a bit discriminated since I had to pay for the "at home" version. Comments anyone?
OOPPSS, Sorry for the double post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jazzcat,

I am curious myself! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif I would love to have e-tools but refuse to pay monthly cost, so I lurk at their website. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

Well, I can't say that I have used them - as I look at the e-tools program as a rip-off. Only active members can use them. There is a monthly fee of about $20 on top of the meeting fees. I was interested until I noted this fact. The same info is in the hard copies you get at the meetings.

I'm like everyone else---I refuse to pay for using e-tools. I feel like there is enough help available on the net that I don't need to support W.W's more that I already do.

From what I could tell, you can get many of the same benefits from www.cyberdiet.com (http://www.cyberdiet.com) (I think that's the website with the food journal and all - if not, just let me know and I will find it http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif). And it's FREE!

Cyberdiet.com is supposed to be excellent. I've seen a number of reviews on it, and all have been very positive.

I don't use e-tools for a couple of reasons.

1)I also happen to think it's a rip off

2)For the longest time, our location did not have the access code so by the time we got it the excitement was gone http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif

3)I hang on the WW forum quite a bit and so many people have reported serious bugs like:

it doesn't always give you access

food calculations come out wrong for the daily total and once you imput something you have trouble changing it

the graph only went up to three months...some of us have more than 20 lbs to lose :P

Recipes not always accessible or getting lost.

Not worth it to me!!

I have my own little excel graph and my word journal including an excercise journal and I'm content with that.

Plus I think cooking light and my own recipes are far superior to WW ..just my opinion http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif
