    1) Running Shoes
    2) Food Scales
    3) Body Analyser Scale

    Close runners up are my Wii Fit with various leaping around games and my phone with the mobile app... which is currently broke and I'm waiting for a replacement... hence not making the top 3 :P

    3. A Wii. For days I don't feel like using exercise machines, I can do Zumba, or Just Dance, or any of the other workout games. :)

    After reading this, I now definitely want a HRM and food scale.
    What brand of HRMs do you guys love (and find are most accurate) and where do you get food scales?

    I'll list the things I wouldn't want to live without:

    1. Real workout clothes. Cotton is wonderful, until you sweat. Then it's the enemy.
    2. Running shoes.
    3. Heart rate monitor with GPS.
    4. A running hat. Sounds silly, but this is a really important piece of equipment for me.
    5. BodyGlide

    Food scale is really, really important and should probably be numbered 0.5, but I didn't have to buy one...

    After reading this there may be more purchases in my future! :)

    Depends on what type of exercise you do. Indoors, you can't go wrong with Polar.
    Outdoors, if you like running, cycling, etc. then Garmin makes great ones with GPS built in.

    an xbox 360 w/ kinect! motivates me to workout everytime i'm bored at home! and if it's a rainy day or too cold to do any cardio outside, i know i can just turn that on, so i have no excuse! also perfect for my busy schedule since i don't always have time to make it to the gym before they close!
