    I would put it towards good running shoes from a running store.

    By far my favorite purchas is my Polar FT4! I would agree on the food scale, cheap and effective.

    this. love my polarft4. and the food scale is really good. i don't weigh every single thing, but it gives me an idea of what 4 oz of steak or 6 oz of chicken looks like.

    good luck.

    I'd buy a session with a really good personal trainer who could then give you tips and workouts to do on your own that would be effective. The rest I would spent on resistance bands, or kettle bells, or whatever "equipment" the trainer recommended for you to get the most bang for your buck.

    Depends somewhat on what YOUR goals are; at that price range a good pair of running shoes would be primary I would think. There are a lot of household exercises and such you can do with little to no equipment. If you were around here, I'd try to get another $25 and get a year's membership to the gym that advertises $99 yearly membership... That would open up your options tremendously. But anything you do, you have to own good shoes.

    I want knee pads! And good, durable gloves. I'm clumsy by nature + I run so I've ruined two pairs of gloves and totally scarred up my knees from all my falls lol

    I just bought a buuunch of stuff: Lots of work out clothes (doesnt seem like you can have enough), polar heart rate monitor (VERY helpful), a set of 3lb and 5lb hand weights, Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, new running shoes, socks.... There is a lot you can get! Yoga mat? Resistance bands? Think about what kind of training you like to do and get things to encourage that behavior.... but I do highly recommend a lot of work out clothes since the more you do it, the more you sweat through them!

    I have a lot of stuff that I like a lot, but by far the best thing I've gotten is my Polar FT4 heart rate monitor. It makes me feel so much more confidant in my calories burns. It is AWESOME!

    A food scale.

    Yep. Got mine for $11 on amazon.

    I would probably use the rest of the money for good running shoes.

    One of those cheap pay-by-the-month gym memberships for a few months.

    That was going to be my suggestion. Followed by:

    Heart rate monitor. I didn't realize they were as cheap as $75 now. I've always had Polars.
    Interval Timer: Gymboss is a good brand.
    Rep counter.
    Dumbbells, or a fitness bar to which weight plates can be added.
    Fitness mat. Harbinger is a good brand.
