I am making a commitment to use eTools to track
my food this week. I have been using a paper
tracker, and now the 12-week journal, since I started WW. It had always cost extra to get eTools so I
just went the paper route. When I joined
WW I also didn’t have a computer at home or a smart phone.
As technology evolved, or rather I evolved with
technology, I considered getting eTools but it was still an extra cost. After all, I was a free LT member so why pay
for eTools? A few years ago WW started
giving free eTools to LT members who WI at goal each month. I started collecting my free codes and I do
use eTools to look up PPV and recipes but never to track.
This week I am going to give it a good
commitment and see what I think.
So far, it is just okay. The first day was a little rough. It feels like it takes a while to search the
data base, epically if you are looking for a certain name brand product. I find at times it is easier to use the
scanner to just scan the product label or to even add it manually using the
nutritional information. I also have
used the quick add for a few items as well.
Today is my second day. I was able to pre-track some food last night
that I planned for lunch so that was nice. I am also eating some of the same foods from
yesterday so I was able to add them to my favorites and also use the recently
added option. I haven’t broken the
system yet!

What I like about the 12-week paper tracker is
the ability to write down my feelings and thoughts and plan out my week. That doesn’t mean eTools still wouldn’t be a
valuable tool but I might have to plan using another method.
I am giving it at least until Saturday. We shall see.
If you have any suggestions, let me know!
