Online Weight Loss/ Weight Watcher question

[amyg]

I did WW a few years ago when they were using the point system. I've got to go back on for a few weeks/months/however long. :-(

I'm thinking about signing up for eTools so I can get recipes. If you know of a better site, let me know!

Do they still use the zero points soup? Or has something replaced that one? I'm always looking for veggie-loaded recipes with no points! TIA

I do WW on line and did go to a few meetings earlier this year. The zero point soup recipe was in week 1 hand out from the meetings. I just searched the recipes section of WW on line and couldn't find it. Whether you do meetings or on line, you can choose to do the points version or "Core version" With core you eat select foods and only count points with foods not on the Core list. With the Points system, you count points for everything you eat, staying within your range of points

Hope that helps.
