Difference between Weight Watchers online, e-tools, Spark?

AnswerMeThis asked:


I was a WW member a few years ago. I didn’t like the meetings as I had specific emotional weight issues unrelated to pregnancy/mom weight like most there had, so I had trouble connecting with the group and couldn’t stick with it.

I became a member of E-tools for a while after and I liked it but life got in the way and I wasn’t disciplined enough. What is the difference (other than the F2F meetings) between WW Online and WW E-tools? Is there anything extra that you get with Online that you do not get with E-tools, or is it the same thing with only a meeting requirement and a pricing difference? Also, is there any advantage to WW that you couldn’t get with a free site like SparkPeople?

I am lower income with a disability and every penny counts, so I am weighing my cost options. But I really want to do this. So I am looking for the best overall weight loss option with a strong online influence that doesn’t include expensive prepackaged food like Jenny or Nutrisystem. Thanks.

Online obesity support groups? Specifically for those who are morbidly obese- anyone know of any?

kaliope29 asked:


I am looking for a friendly group of people online – a type of online support group – to befriend through a weight loss journey. I am currently doing a hospital-sponsored program (Optifast), so I have no online support. I am quite shy, so I am fond of online support in addition to local meetings.

Some examples are the medifast / nutrisystem / dottisweightlosszone / weight watchers websites… I can’t find anything specifically for Optifast patients or just people who need to lose a LOT of weight – AND when I look, I find nothing, but information about weight loss surgery.

Any help would be great. I’ve appreciated online support and friendships online before, but I can’t seem to find a nice place to start now.

Thank you in advance,
Kaliope
I prefer a group with posts daily; sadly the one listed by the first answerer has not been used since January 2007.

thank you:)
