How much $ have you invested in weight loss?
I was just thinking about how much I've invested so far in my quest to get in shape. After purchasing Body Revolution, new shoes, a HRM, weights, resistance cables, workout clothes, protein powder, etc, etc.....I think I'm at about $500 over the past 3 months. Granted most of it is one time purchases, but I think it's been worth every penny. :happy:
What do you think you've spent and has it been worth it?

Apparently not enough. :sad:0

almost $800 over the course of a year and half ( bought a treadmill, hrm and other varioius stuff)0
-
Probably a lot.
Between new shoes and clothes to purchasing weights for home to my membership with my trainer...
...honestly, I don't want to calculate it all, but it was all worth it.0 -
€200,- Gym membership (for a year)
€50,- Running shoes
€10,- Dumbbells
€60,- 2 DVDs and a book
That's about it, Total of €320,- (around $420,-). When my dad moved to Australia he gave me his exercise bike so that didn't cost me anything! :bigsmile:0 -
Y membership $350
Personal Trainer $200
HRM $70
New Clothes $100 and counting
Money saved on eating less....over $ 2000 in a year....0 -
too much :laugh:
I would suspect about $500-600. The latest being $30 for plexus 7 day trial package. I lost 22lbs last year and need a jumpstart to get back into it. My boss lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks so I said what the heck.0 -
A shown in my profile pic...
Currently my newest investment is some fat gripz, cost me a good penny for what it is, but as far as I can tell its working after only one day use!
I think my next investment will be a rope attachment for my gym at home ... Feeling I need to hit the triceps a bit more!
As far as investing is concerned, I think I am on par with what I use to spend/parents spent ... Instead of constantly buying supermarket junk food, a protein shake usually takes priority meaning I get my monies worth there anyway..
But I have incorporated multi vitamins to stay tip top shape!0 -
Between my gym membership, grocery bills, constantly having to by new clothes, I'd say a little over a dollar. : )0
-
Very little. It's more about time. I only pay $100 per year for the gym at the college I work at. That is the largest expense and really I could do without it and do body weight/resistnace exercises on the track with good results. I just like being in the gym for motivation and focus. Beyond that, just normal cost of living for food and sports.0

weight loss - $0
fitness - $90 per month for JCC membership and $120 on my trainers.0 -
Not much,sneakers a few times a year.I already had most of my weights.( left by my ex).
A couple DVD's,two pedometers.
I'm about to invest in an HRM though.0 -
pole.. $450
running shoes.. $120
jump rope.. $20
stability ball.. $20
blender bottle.. $10
gym passes.. $90 so far.
protein powders.. probably around $120 since starting my fitness goals.
My kettle bells and food scale were gifts. So Ive spent an estimated $830.
eta. oh yeah, and I bought a belly dancing/zumba hip scarf lol. $20, bringing my total to (estimated) $8500 -
It's a priceless investment.0
-
Oh yeah..I also bought a Bosu Ball at Costco for $80 and a HRM for $900
-
Shoes- $120 every 8 months
Iron weights - $340
HRM- $60
Treadmill- $350 used (only use in winter)
P90x & P90x2 - $200
Pull up bar- $25
Fitness ball - $25
Clothes- ???
$1120 currently (plus whatever my wife buys)
And then add in protein powders, blender, etc, so it goes up. But I figure that's stuff I'd buy regardless of where I worked out so I don't count it.
The gym membership was $65/month, so that's $780 every year. In less than two years I'll have paid less than the gym and own all my free weights. Much better deal for us

Weights - $60

New gym shoes: $130
New outdoor running shoes: $120
New workout clothes: +$500 (lulu's are so pricey lol )

Sooo, too much already! But I have everything I need now, costs shouldn't rise too much. I'm also probably going to cancel the gym membership is favor of outdoor jogging if winter ever goes away haha0 -
Less than it would cost if I had to take cholesterol or BP meds for the rest of my life if I had stayed fat and lazy.0

10000

Not much....no gym membership or special sneakers
eating right and walking works wonders..i did invest in a few jillian michaels and yoga dvd's (bought used so maybe $50)0 -
Apparently not enough. :sad:
That was funny..chuckles..LOL0 -
Holy moley!
About $1k!!
I bought an Wii, with the Fit balance board and a charger for the remotes for myself at a christmas time and have bought a handful of fitness games for it. Turns out it was a good investment, since I use it almost every day!
More recently, I bought a bike. I have been wanting one for at least a year and my partner enjoys biking, whereas he won't play Wii with me very often, so I think it was also a good investment.
My old clothes were, well, old, so I won't feel too had about buying clothes, and I still have at least one outfit in every size for another thirty or forty pounds. I am tempted to pre-invest, though: will there be any swimsuits available when the ones I have swim away? How hard is it to find a life vest in the off season? Is it safe to skip a size?0 -
12k for weight loss surgery0
-
$70 (monthly) for a Y "Membership Plus" pass that I rarely use. I'm so much more comfortable going for runs outside and doing workout videos at home where I can't really push it and not feel self conscious about being all beet red and looking like I'm about to collapse. I would cancel it, but... I have plans to start attending Hatha Yoga classes there (and maybe a few of the strength training classes once I'm a bit more comfortable with my fitness level).
I think I SAVE money on groceries now that I'm eating healthier, though. Less eating out at restaurants and grabbing junk food at the corner store!0 -
Just totaling up my gym membership, p90x, all my weights that I now have at home, my running shoes, my treadmill, all the JM dvd's I was doing before p90x...it's around 2K in the last year...
That's not including protein powders and supplements...0 -
Membership - $250
HRM - $110
Headphones - $100
Sneakers - $100
All this doesn't factor the Protein, Creatine bought monthly which average $30/each x 12 months0 -
HRM = $100

BodyMedia Fit = $145
Workout clothes = $85
New smaller size wardrobe = $1150
$1690 so far. Crap.0 -
I am not even going to go there. I just know that I can't afford food, but hey I've got plenty of supplements!!!!! LOL
But yea, I spend MUCHO0 -
Really not much:
Used like new threadmill = 250
Fitbit one (open box) = 50
Ozeri touch scale =40
Fitbit Aria (open box) = 85
Endomondo Android app = 0
Myfitnesspal PC and Android = 0
However I know I will have to expend more in the future as the weight goes down.
I think no matter how much you have to expend, it is your health that matters, so it worth it!0 -
$40 for good running shoes
$60 on workout clothes
so I guess $100?0
