    1. My Heart Rate Monitor! Loves it. Seriously.

    2. The Zombies Run! App. I call it an investment, because it was $8 Freakin Dollars for an Iphone app.

    3. All the expensive food I have to buy! Good food is way more expensive than crap food. *shakes head* ...and also doesn't last as long.

    1 - Food scale and measuring cups/spoons. It's amazing how much I overestimate my portions. I can eat MUCH more than I thought I could -- by the same amount of calories.

    2 - Whey Protein

    3 - Gym subscription

    1.Time- especially that spent with MFP -my husband thinks I am obsessed but my weight loss is proof it works! Also making time for exercise.
    2.Fitbit - it motivates me through the day and encourages me to exercise more if I want to eat more!
    3. Polar hrm -I am thyrotoxic so have to monitor my HR -It still gets up to 150-170 but a year ago I could not exercise for 5 mins before it was at 186! - I am 53 it should be less than 150 when I exercise.

    For me:

    Shoes. Everything starts with great shoes that support your foot and don't cause pain in your joints.

    Gym membership. I won't run outside. I won't use the treadmill. I will go to the gym every day, because they have a ton of great equipment, friendly people, and if I pay for something, I will use it.

    My ipod. I listen to tunes when doing weights, etc. and I d/l TV shows and play them on the TV screens on my treadmill when doing cardio. Could not get through a workout without it. Need the distraction, or it just doesn't happen.

    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

    Did you read the original post? None of these are investments :)

    Investing your TIME is still an investment. It doesn't have to be materialistic

    My 3

    1. Brooks Trance 11 Running Shoes
    2. BodyMedia Advantage
    3. My Iphone (I use this for EVERYTHING. GPS tracking for runs, Rhapsody, MFP logging...)

    1 - My food scale It's been invaluable and also educational. I had no idea my portions were so skewed until I started using it.

    2 - My Polar Bluetooth HRM & SportsTracker Pro app for my Android phone Now that I can track my cals burned accurately, I've been back on track with my weight loss.

    3 - My yoga studio package Sure, I can practice at home, but going to classes really pushes me in new directions.
