dotsie Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Is it worth it? Are the daily check in's pretty good? What should I expect? Has it helped you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTsurf Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 They are good to wake up to and have good motivation to help you stick with the program. I'm not really sure why it costs $15 though. Seems like it should be free if you purchase the success guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I loved them. I swear they had a nanny cam installed in my condo because the emails were so timely. Have you read the book? I would say if it's a choice between the 2, get the book. The emails are an awesome bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gboyum Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I used the emails for my first whole 30, and thought they were great. As for the cost, it seems marginal compared to what people pay for popular "diet" programs. For me the cost was worth it because it gave me a small financial incentive to complete the program. The emails had a lot of really great info, organized and sent to me when I needed it. It seemed like if I was thinking about something when I went to bed at night, the next morning's email addresses that issue. I purchased the book for my second whole 30 and that was really informative as well, but I do miss the daily interactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I found them really helpful--it was kind of like an advent calendar!--counting the days going along. I liked reading them in the morning, and gave you a good "check in" to make sure you are starting your day off right. I didn't know what to expect, but they are quite substantial each day (not just a paragraph or two) with lots of external links and additional resources. Each day kind of has a theme that sometimes eerily lines up with how you are feeling that day. Some days are better than others but overall, totally worth it. Less than 50 cents a day? Even if just ONE DAY it helps you, gives you a recipe you love, helps you reframe something, provides that motivation you need, totally totally worth it.

EileenRBe Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I haven't had the feeling that I'm tracking with the themes of the emails. But they are supportive and I like getting recipe links. I justified it in that I would spend a lot more than that on wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I loved the emails, really looked forward to getting them every morning. I saved them all and I still go and reread them. I'm on a limited budget but I reckon they were well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotsie Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks for the responses! I signed up yesterday and will start tomorrow. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm on my second W30 -- they didn't have the emails during my first one, but I subscribed to them this time and am enjoying them. I would 100% say, for me, reading ISWF was more helpful (I have doubts I would be sticking with it as well if I hadn't read the book), but the emails really help with daily motivation and tips.

Seana H Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 The e-mails are AWESOME and truly helping me stay on track. $15 was well worth it (as you say Eileen, that's only one bottle of wine!) The subject matter was dead-on and well timed. I especially appreciate how they reacted when the e-mail system had minor issues this past week. Super professional and well done. Clicking the "how do you do today" link each night is a nice celebratory feather in my cap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
