    1. This website
    2. I already had a smartphone, but downloading this site to my phone.
    3. Jillian Michaels 30 day shred videos
    4. I already had some home videos, weights, and true lemon packets. But now I am using it.
    My plan is this week is to purchase a bikini and a measuring tape, so I can see how many inches I have lost.

    - gym membership with group classes (gives me a set time I need to get to the gym)
    - lean cuisine meals (still unsure if they are the most healthy or not, but so far they are working)
    - TV, watching the Biggest Loser (if they can do it, so can I!)

    1. My MFP membership. I know that's cheating because it's free, but I honestly do not think I'd have stuck with it this far if not for MFP.

    2. My digital food scale. I had no clue what portions really looked like. The first time I saw what the portions were supposed to look like, I couldn't believe how small they were. Now, I can't believe I used to eat as much as I used to.

    3. Accurate, digital bathroom scale.

    4. My Wii.

    5. My dance games for my Wii. (Just Dance 1, 2, and 3, and DDR 2)

    6. My HRM.

    1. A gym Membership
    2. Food Scale
    3. Good reusable water bottle (even though it doesn't fit in the cup holders at the gym, it has a freezer core and helps me measure how much water I'm drinking!)

    I think my best purchase for my Get Fit Journey is my Nike + sneakers, Ipod. I can not wait to get going in the morning. I love tracking how far I walked, what my pace is and how many calaries I burned. It makes me think this lifestyle change really isn't so bad.

    Gym membership. 2 hours after joining I was at my goal weight lol. Seriously, I have access to so much equipment I need while I get my body back to 'normal'.

    My bike! I struggled for years to find an exercise I liked and then I bought a bike. It's so much fun, I forget that I'm exercising.

    My best purchases were:
    1. Food Scale
    2. Great pair of gym shoes
    3. Polar FT-40 heart rate monitor. This way I KNOW how much I burn during my work out and it's no longer a guessing game.

    1.) My FoodSaver, which I've had for YEARS, but just recently started using it seriously. Now I divy up my food in single serving sizes to avoid over eating.
    2.) ProduceSaver bowls. They keep my fruits & vegy's fresher & I don't waste nearly as much as I used to.
    3.) My new digital scale. I find I use it just cuz it's "fun"! lol :laugh:
