    Right now I got in my arsenal:

    Garmin Forerunner 610 HRM
    Fitbit Ultra
    Salter Bamboo Kitchen Scales (from Bed Bath & Beyond)
    Withings Weight Scales
    iPhone with Jaybird Stereo Bluetooth Headphones
    iPad with ANT+ adaptor to watch my heart rate while doing cardio instead of having to look at my HRM watch every few minutes
    Weight training gloves
    Notepad and pen to quickly write my weights routine down for day to enter into my MFP diary when I get time

    iPod, which turned me on to MFP (brother told me about it)
    My cheap Sportline ColorTrac pedometer. It clips on, and keeps track of calories, plus mileage. Pretty darn accurate!
    A doctor visit. She suggested I keep my BPM no higher than 150, because of high blood pressure.
    A cheap CHOICEMMED HRM (wife is a RN, says it's just as accurate as the ones at her work) http://gooximeters.com/pro-7
    Gym membership. $10 a month, no contracts, or bank drafts at the community center.

    my best purchases for my weight loss journey have been a great pair of running shoes, workout gloves for lifting weights and such because my palms always get so sore!!, proper workout bras, and an arm band iphone holder to make running and using the machines easier.
    oh, and i can't forget my magic bullet blender...such a great little thing for making quick and delicious smoothies :)

    my hrm, definitely! the calories burned on this site vary from person to person and are (usually) very inaccurate. knowing how many calories i've actually burned is so much better than guessing
