1. Treadmill - best $1000 I ever spent
2. Good sneakers - I used to think that spending $140 on sneakers was nuts, but I've noticed a world of difference between my new sneakers and the cheapie $80 ones I used to buy.
3. A good sports bra - you should not have a uniboob nor should you bounce when you work out!0 -
1. MFP(having dedication to stick to it helped me the most)
2. Joining a gym
3. Getting training partners(Helps me get forced reps and pushes me harder, plus it's more fun with a friend)0 -
1: internet service (so i can use this amazing site)
2: food scale
3: close tie between HRM and gym membership. gym is providing more now, but last year the HRM was valuable to me0 -

1. Spotify app on my iPhone
2. Music that makes your feet hit the treadmill or pavement

1. Body for Life. Even though in hindsight, a lot of the book was broscience, it really set me on the right path
2. Powerblock Adjustable dumbbells and bench
3. Treadmill
Over time, #2 was eventually replaced/augmented with a power rack, olympic barbell, plates, and bumber plates.0 -

Sports bra, food scale, gym membership. I had a sports bra, but it was cheap and on my first day at the gym class, I had to constantly adjust things! So I went out and spend forty dollars on a great Champion bra and it was a lifesaver.
Food scale is important to make sure I am eating what I think I am eating. There is no sense in logging food if you are just estimating.
Gym membership is invaluable. I go every morning to the cardio, body pump and body combat classes and I have done this for two months and I feel so great! Am losing at a steady pace although a little slow, but my measurements show three inches lost on waist and two on hips.0 -
1 Watch what you eat
2 I joined Curves
3 I walk at less 30 min's a day even if it is in the house going from room to room

MFP
Polar FT4 hrm
Time. Making time for myself. I invest in me and that is the best yet.
my dad bought my running shoes as a present for christmas, my gym membership is paid up for a year thanks to my ex, and my next investment is a PT coming soon0 -
1. MFP and Local community weight race ($12.50 for weight race included because MFP is free!)
2. Good pair of cross training shoes
3. Eliptical for home(actually free from someone at work) for when weather is bad(Wisconsin winters are a pain for someone who likes to exercise outside!)
Also have a pedometer and strive for 10,000 steps a day.0 -
1. FOOD - MyFitFoods
2. Gym - Personal Trainer
3. Running Shoes0 -
1. A resistance band. So versatile.
2. A good 1-liter water bottle. I'm lost without my water bottle.
3. An intake journal. Having a place to write my intake has been really important to me ever since I quit counting calories.
I could go on for so much longer.0 -
1. GYM...I never kept off any weight I lost before because I didn't exercise. I LOVE my gym & the classes, equipment, & friends I've made who've kept me motivated. I would NOT have been successful without it!
2. HRM...I know how hard I'm working by the numbers & it pushes me to work harder. When I'm eating back exercise calories, I know they are not being overestimated! I also use it to train for running outside...I can tell my heart rate & time, which is really important.
3. Good shoes specific to the type of workouts you do...when I started running, I was wearing tennis shoes I wore all the time to run in & was getting shin splints & my legs were wearing out easily. I invested in a new pair of running shoes, & it was like magic! I run faster & longer, don't feel as sore, & don't get shin splints anymore! I also was wearing these same tennis shoes to zumba & once I got better at it & could do the moves with more emphasis, I was having knee pains after every class. I invested in some dance shoes with less tread, & OMG, it made all the difference in the world, too! I don't have those problems anymore & I can actually pivot & slide0 -
