It was posted on an ivillage website but seems that WW has gotten a hold of it and took the site down. I saved it to a word document. Kristine There are a bunch of sites that have the lists. Grab them while you can before WW shuts everyone down. Seems the only way they want people to get the info is to pay for it. Online people can see a lot more info than those not paying for online access. Even the PDA is only available for those with active eTools subscriptions. Sometimes I think that WW is only in it for the money and not to help people. > I have a list of core foods with brand names.

Let me ask you this, do you think it's fair that we pay to go to our meetings and joining fees and then someone asks for the entire list of core foods and they get them for free? I'm not talking about general questions about the program, I mean when someone wants entire sections of the program. If people want to be a member of Weight Watchers and follow the program then they should have to pay just like the rest of us. **Kate** What I object to is paying for meetings and then having to pay for eTools. I agree with you that everyone should have to pay but we should not have to pay twice. > >Sometimes I think that WW is only in it for the > >money and not to help people.

WW is a commercial organization. While they may not be in it ONLY for the money. money is going to be their primary concern. And there is nothing wrong with that. Axtually they aren't doing that well at the moment according to the UK news. >Let me ask you this, do you think it's fair that we pay to go to our meetings >and joining fees and then someone asks for the entire list of core foods and >they get them for free?

WW is just another diet program. It's not a miracle or a silver bullet that's gonna make everyone lose weight just 'cos they pay their dues - If it was I'd be there every week :) It's just some sensible guidelines to help Joe Public eat better, with a weekly support group to help on the psychological side. If it works for you then great, but there are other ways of losing weight available on the net and elsewhere for free. If I was to pay actual cash for help in losing weight I would use WW, but I prefer to do things my own way rather than take WW word for it. OTOH if I had gone with WW 2 years ago I'd probably be at target by now, Ray  Signaturermnsuk 273/191/182 > There are a bunch of sites that have the lists.

I got the trial membership to etools to get the palm program and I really don't like it. I also found out the only way to save your progress is on the web because the palm program only saves the previous and current week. You cannot change the options either--you have to do it on the web then sync with your palm. Kristine > > There are a bunch of sites that have the lists.

More money spent. If WW wants to spread the word about their diet then they are doing a very money grabbing way of it. could you print it out? Lee > > There are a bunch of sites that have the lists.

Seems the only way they want people to get [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > do it on the web then sync with your palm. > Kristine Excuse me? Your naiveté is showing. WW is a business. Of course they are trying to make money. How do you think they pay for all the R&D that goes into the program? For example, the Core foods are not just some feel good list of foods. They were specially chosen for, among other things, a low abuse potential. That took R&D. And that took money. This newsgroup is "in it to help people." WW is "in it for the money" and to help people as well. -- Anne in CA "It's not having what you want; it's wanting what you've got." -- Sheryl Crow http://home.covad.net/~arudolph/annes.htm > <snipped>. Sometimes I think that WW is only in it for the > money and not to help people. remove NOSPAM to reply Just as an FYI--Dr. Phil put out a paperback book that lists pretty much the same thing as WW (not his cookbook) as far as Core Foods go, it costs about $5.00. I haven't compared it thouroughly but they are very close for anyone who wants a list but doesn't want to or can't afford to have to pay for it.
