    I've picked up the following over the past few months;

    Digital food scale
    Bathroom scale
    measuring tape
    a fitbit
    running app
    workout clothes (need a new shirt soon)
    resistance bands
    gym membership + personal trainer
    protein supplements

    I plan on picking up the following over the next few months:

    some dumbbells
    a heart rate monitor
    better workout shoes
    battle ropes
    a punching bag

    No, I don't need to buy these things but I utilize them and the cost has fit into my budget.

    I reward myself with fitness equipment for the most part, so I have a lot of things I find usefull that help me drop weight. HRM, digital bathroom scale, elliptical, recumbent bike, resistance bands, portable rower, 3 workout outfits, sports bras, dumbbells, twist board, and raspberry keytones. So far, along with calorie counting, these things have been very usefull at keeping things interesting and me motivated to keep moving it!

    Food scale. Gym membership. Lots of personal training and nutrition sessions. Workout clothes/shoes. Tons of race entries. Triathlon gear. Soccer gear. OCR gear. Probably getting a HRM soon. It has become my lifestyle.....so none of it bothers me.

    So much. Part of that is because I can spend the money. Another part is that it's a reward to buy a new thing even if that new thing is running shoes. So.. here's the list:

    Fancy pedometer (gift)
    Food scale (gift)
    Workout clothes (part gift/part free/part bought myself)
    2 pairs of running shoes (first one doesn't work for running past 1.5 miles)
    3 sports bras (and thinking of buying another one soon)
    Complete running book
    Various apps
    Songs for working out
    Gym membership (that is down to $55/year)
    Workout accessories (arm band, ear phones, anti chaffing/blister, anything else I may have forgotten)

    In the past 6-12 months (to keep it short):

    Several books
    Replaced old Fitbit
    Several apps
    A Spibelt
    Withings scale

    My 10-year old Sony M2 Sports earphones lost a speaker this morning. Bluetooth earphones are next.

    Except for the obvious already mentioned like digital scales, kitchen and bathroom, I reward myself with tools I deem necessary ;)

    1. Running gear.
    2. Spinning shoes. Best improvement tool!
    3. Compression wear/socks. Feel it helps with restitution.
    4. Foamroller and Rumble roller. Pain is gooood.
    5. Tennis and lacrosse-ish balls for self massage. Cheapest massage instruments I ever bought.
    6. Blender bottles.
    7. Various supps, including fiber for feeling fuller and creatin for restitution.
    8. Orthotic insoles/Gel pads. My feet are both high arches and underpronated.
    9. Good sports bra sufficient support for running and jumping.
    10. 2 sets IKEA trio plastic measuring spoons, 1-5-15 ml. Very easy measuring powders or oils.

    Edit: Spotify premium for easy music management and inspiration too. Forgot to mention HRM!

    So much stuff! Husband and I bought a treadmill and dumb bells when we moved to Kenya 12 years ago (and didn't have access to a gym). Still use those. We also have an elliptical which I hate but he does religiously. We have an exercise ball, some DVDs, bathroom and food scales, shoes of course, and various workout clothes. We both have FitBits but he doesn't use his (I love mine). I have the FitBit, Runkeeper, and of course MFP apps on my phone. Oh and a bike! (Which I don't use as much as I should). That's all I can think of for now.

    VERY important! And so hard to find, especially for those of us with a little extra going on up top.

    I was a D-cup. Can't recommend Casall with the two clasps highly enough. Most sports bras you have to wrestle out of. That one is like regular bra.
