Before the joining MFP, I refused to measure or weigh food. I thought it was waste of time and afterall, I could "eyeball" it. Once I started measuring, I realized I had no clue as to what a real serving was. Now that I'm changing my foolish ways ), measuring has become a major part of my healthy lifestyle change. I love my Kitchenware: Easy Read Mini Measuring Cup (1/4 cup). I use it for everything and am looking to purchase another one. I am also considering buying a food scale.

Definitely a kitchen scale. It's so much better to know exactly how much I'm eating.
Also, a grill. I have a non-stick Caphalon over-the-stove grill. Everything tastes better grilled.0 -
Yes, one of my biggest issues has been my total blindness to what is an actual portion size.
Through measuring and weighing my eyes have really been opened.
Right now I have a food scale that I think isn't very accurate, so I'm off to buy a digital one this afternoon.
Recently I bought this OXO angled mini measuring cup. It's helped a lot to keep me honest with the little stuff that adds up when you don't track it.

I rely on my kitchen scale but it is super old and I want to get a digital one.
Also measuring cups and spoons. I find measuring sticky things like nut butters and even greek yogurt is a pain - but important.
Also - I am using my blender more but it is ANCIENT. I want to get a vita mix but need to price it out and probably will get the scale first.0 -
I was just looking up scales and I think I'm going with EatSmart (Amazon.com). I'm also considering (sometime in the future) getting another food processor. Even though I wasn't really counting calories, it made food prep too easy. Unfortunately, she gave up the ghost.

I bought a Magic Bullet mixer a few weeks ago to make shakes and it works perfectly for me. Easy to use, clean and comes with a bunch of recipes that I will use later. I am a little afraid to buy a scale and a good measuring cup, though... so I guess I am still cheating with measurements:) not for long!!0

My food scale and measuring cups! And my 12.5" nonstick pan. Makes it easy to cook a lot of food at the same time!
Oh, and my Brita pitcher!0 -
My hinari genie - perfect for making smoothies/juices and as a quick blender when the amounts are too small to dig out the massive food processor - plus you make the smoothies in the same glass as you drink it so saves on the washing up0

Food processor. I wouldn't be able to cook in big batches and often without it and laziness would get me!
Besides that, a sharp knife ($1 from dollar store is enough for this guy) along with couple of pots and pans and I'm good0 -
