Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Thanks for the input, ! I have used WWCalc... and also WWJournal, which was freeware from White Oaks. (WW asked the WWJournal gent to take it off his site though. Too bad. It was a nice app.) Of course right after I hit the send button, I found the mention of the PDA tools on the WW site, though they really don't seem to give any additional information. Re: palm tools?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 If you are an eTools member you have access to a free PDA download. I think its this address: http://www.weightwatchers.com/pda/index.aspx If you aren't an eTools member you won't have access. What that means for those who don't know, you would have to have been a WW member in person, as well as online to be an eTools member. I use it every day (as long as I'm OP). I was using the WW Calc that is floating around, and in some respects I like it better than the official WW one. Except the eTools version loads my foods online, and I get the latest lists updated on my Palm. It takes up a lot of memory, so if you have 4-8 megabytes on your Palm I wouldn't bother with it. Use the WW Calc instead. palm tools? Hi all! My apologies if some of you get dupes of this email, as I'm posting it to 2 groups. I've heard some buzz that eTools and WW Online have tools for Palm Pilots and other PDAs. I've been crusing the WW website and there doesn't seem to be any mention of them in the eTools or WW Online sales info. Can anyone who is a member of either program clue me in? And if there are PDA apps, what tools are provided and do you think they're worthwhile? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Thanks, ! Do the tools also track your progress as well? Or are they just point calculators, food lists and the like?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Online it has weight tracker, recipe renovation, points calc everything, but the Palm program is restricted to Points for food and activity. WWCalc has a weight tracker that I really like and kind of miss. But it isn't in color, and alas, I'm a techno junkie... Not that the eTools PDA product is all colorful, its not. Just more up to date. Re: palm tools? Thanks, ! Do the tools also track your progress as well? Or are they just point calculators, food lists and the like? RE: palm tools?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 no problemo. I'm just doing some homework and pulling my hair out. Anyone know how to program in C++ and would like to help me with 'composition?' worth a try! Re: palm tools? Thanks for the 411! RE: palm tools?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Sorry... I'm no good in C++. Can help with JavaScript, VBScript, HTML, ASP and the like if the need ever arises!

I wrote to WW support & got no help, but I was able to figure out a workaround, so now I have it installed & can even sync with no problem. If there are any Mac users who are interested in using it let me know. After all that, since I'm on Core I don't find it as useful, though I pulled it out in the grocery store to check the Core food list as I shopped, which was pretty handy. I only wish there was a way to track Flex points on the PDA, since writing them down doesn't seem to work too well for me. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
