I just got my tax refund and thought that I should spend some money to help achieve my goal(s) better and more accurately. Not sure if I should buy a food scale? Watch? Any other ideas are appreciated!

How about paying for a years gym membership upfront?
This way you know that you have signed up for a year, have access to all the great equipment with no risk of membership running out..
Most likely still have plenty left over to treat yourself to something else you enjoy (fashion, technology, etc..)!!
I bet it feels great to get the refund!! I got one a few years back and it was awesome!! (to get something back out with the amount I've paid in definitely felt like a win!!!!).
All the best,

Is it enough for a few sessions with a personal trainer? What about a fitbit?0

A Fitbit, heart rate monitor, or food scale would be the best bet if you don't have any those.0

I'm in college but once I graduate in April and find a gym outside of my school, I think I might get a trainer to teach me how to lift
And I was thinking about a Fitbit! Hmmm..0 -

I am debating between a step counter (Fitbit) or a HRM0 -
We got a exercise bike, treadmill and weights.0

On a personal note I definitely sway more towards the HRM than the counter. That said, there are more and more devices coming out that have both in one!
Fitbit is releasing a device (or may have already done, I'm not sure) that is both a counter and a HRM rolled into one.0 -

A coffin.
So you can see where you get to go sooner, than later. If you ignore those goals.
A food scale is a good idea. A DEXA scan is pretty good too.0 -

If you run, go get fitted and buy a pair of nice running shoes at a running store. I always workout better in a new outfit too!0

Shoes again, if you're lifting get some minimalist shoes love my Nike studio shoes. They're intended for yoga etc but they give you an ideal amount of heel support and grip but let your arch stay natural.0

Depends what your goals are. Without articulating that then this becomes nothing more than a random list of things that other people use.
PersonallyI'd say running shoes, but if running isn't on your agenda then that's pointless.0 -
I'd go with a food scale, 100%!0

Personally I'd go with a food scale since its 20$ and put the rest towards paying off student loans early0

yeah if you haven't got a food scale you're going to struggle, well i know i would anyway
other than that it all depends on what sort of exercise you do, if it were me i'd get myself a nice expensive pair of good Bluetooth headphones0 -
A digital food scale won't cost much, you should be able to get that as well as a fitbit?0
