      Two pairs of stretch bands, they got me serious about doing a regular routine even though I was grossly out of shape. I couldn't do what I am doing with the stretch bands, but they got me in a routine.

      Olympic bar. (I've got a DIY power cage with spare wood I had, so only purchase there was a box of screws.)

      I'm still missing my motoactv and might get another - nothing seems quite so comprehensive for measuring cardio activity.

      New clothes to motivate me to work out more so I can eventually wear them and feel confident in them

      Yaktrax! The ground here is covered with ice and snow from November to April, and I can't afford a gym membership or decent treadmill, so this was the best option. Plus when you're running on the ice without slipping you feel invincible!

      A pair of €60 Asics. Never in my life had I spent so much on running shoes. Two years later and I still have them.

      :)

      Food scale, although I actually bought it for baking a couple of years before I started using it for tracking food consumption.

      My Under Armour running shoes. Very supportive.

      a couple of weeks ago I listed all my purchases since starting mfp:

      the biggest is the iphone with the mfp app but that just made me stick to logging since I discovered mfp and iphone within 2 days
      of each other
      isport ear buds
      digital bathroom scale
      digital kitchen scale
      heart rate monitor ( polar ft4)
      george foreman grill
      air pop pop corn popper
      olive oil spritzer
      mandolin
      Oh, and a gym membership. (la fitness by default-the gym I joined closed and they shipped me here.)
      and on that note, I've got a season pass to a kayak rental place and
      new bicycle plus
      various hoodies....
      they've all helped!

      It's probably a tie between my food scale and my juicer.

      1. My heart rate monitor. It tells me when I'm slacking off, and the calorie burn is a great motivator.
      2. My iPod. How did I ever exercise without it? I can keep my fluency in French and German, learn new stuff, and then switch over to great music.
      3. Latest purchase- my TRX. I've been working through some minor neck and shoulder strain complaints that come from 40+ years of desk work and I've found some stretches and other exercises that are really helping. Great for planking, too.

      What was the best purchase you have made that has helped you in achieving your fitness goals?

      Running shoes.

      For me, winter compression running tights and good bras. Jiggle is very distracting while trying to run ;)

      I bought the Weight Watchers ActiveLink, which measures your typical activity based on an assessment period and then challenges you to meet a small goal every day. The goals get harder as the days go on!
