Article By: Elizabeth Josefsberg



Here's everything you ever wanted to know about eTools and why it is such a positive addition to your meeting-room experience.



eTools comprises several online features that help meetings members track and manage weight, activity and food intake. The site boasts thousands of articles that educate and motivate members when they are outside of the meeting room. It offers more than 3,3200 PointsPlus® value-friendly recipes and a tool to help members renovate their personal recipes, and even share them with the Community. There are fitness videos and workouts, as well as Success Stories and a thriving Community full of Blogs, Groups, Challenges and Message Boards. Even more conveniently, all these tracking options, and more, are available at your fingertips on our mobile apps.

These features were specifically created with the meetings member in mind. The Topic of the Week article that you're reading now is designed to echo the topic being discussed in meeting rooms around the country each week, to further educate and inspire members to succeed. It will also frequently link to articles and features that are discussed in your Weight Watchers Weekly magazine.

Recent research makes the strength of the eTools and meetings connection undeniable. It has been shown that people who attend Weight Watchers meetings and use eTools lose over 50 percent more weight than those who attend weekly meetings alone.* eTools gives members a place for helpful weight-loss tools between meetings. Take time to explore the site and think of the time spent as an investment in your weight-loss efforts.
