    1. Sneakers. Without happy feet, you're screwed.

    2. Small calorie deficit. If I ate too little, I stalled and felt crappy.

    3. Camera with self-timer and a tripod. Because sometimes the scale and tape don't tell the whole store. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/LorinaLynn/view/-f-the-scale-203555

    (Honorable mentions to good music and dry-weave clothing!)
