Anyone here interested in discussing WW???

It is my understanding that even lifetime members have to pay online so that
option might not work if your budget won't support it. Maybe your mom can
give you a year's membership as a present.

You need to find some one who could transfer the audio tape to your hard
drive or burn a CD for you.

They do have audio tape but the two problems with them are that they are
not
as accurate as I would like, like a whole days menu in the first book is
missing, and if it were on CD my tape player wouldn't eat the tape, they
have large print available for the asking but I can't read any print. I
am
exploring the option of CD and online because my mom wants to get me one
or
the other for Christmas. I had originally planned to take my time and
sign
up for online after I reached lifetime and got meeting for free thus not
messing with the budget I do appreciate all of you guys suggesting and

Now I understand why you are looking for the CD. How about e-mailing or
calling WW and explaining your eyesight problem. Maybe they have a large
print version or would sell you the something for the computer. They are
a
business and they should be subject to all of the
disability/accessibility
laws that you could use to your advantage.

I actually go to meetings and have those, I was just wondering if they
were
on line as if they were it would be easier for me to access them, I
have
the
tapes to listen to since I can't read regular print but on the

would be easier. Thanks, Lee

They do give out materials for the first 12 weeks. They recently
revised
them all due to Flex points program but I have not gone to any of
the
meetings since the program was revised. There are a bunch of these
"kits"
on
e-bay. Just do a search on Weight watchers and you'll see them for
sale.
For
anyone without materials this would make a wonderful xmas present.

As far as I can tell there is no informational difference

eTools
and
straight online. eTools, however, is only available for those
attending
meetings. I think that's why they lower the price for eTools
since
you
are
already paying $12-$13 for the meetings and want to price it
attractively.

I got that a few weeks ago, along with the points pie for higher carb,

I forget what it is actually called. It is a larger sheet, legal

meal limited to a total of 20 points. It is intended to break
plateaus.

While WW does not support women that are pregnant, you should talk to your
doctor to see how many extra points you should add to your plan to keep
you
healthy. You should keep exercising too. Try and find some websites that
have exercises designed for pregnant woman. Keeping in shape while
pregnant
really helps keep the weight gain to a minimum plus your body will bounce
back faster after the baby is born. We have a pregnant woman doing curves.
Judging by her size, she's probably 7 months pregnant. She does not do all
of the machines but most of them.


That's the plan, but as i'm almost 40 AND having 24x7 nausea attacks that
will just have to wait .... (

OK then where does the CD ROM that some people talk about come in? Lee,
and
thanks for responding

You can buy the CD Rom direct from WW. I got it, it cost me $70
Australian
and allows me to add recipes, keep track of weight loss etc and to track
points each day, it's well worth getting.

Although I'd have to issue a warning to all women losing weight ...
apparently carrying to much weight can affect your fertility and dropping
some of that weight can have the opposite affect ... seems my weight
loss is at an end for about 8 months as I add to the population of
Australia
(all things going well) .. what a shock for an old boiler like myself
