16
items These are the most helpful tools I've used on my weight loss journey. No gimmicks! These are lifestyle tools. Sustainable weight loss means making new habits and choices. Those new choices need to be fun and easy. These are the tools I use every day ...
I bought my Vivoactive 5 Garmin Smartwatch in 2019 and in 2025 it is still going strong. I've had several smart watches before this one, and this one has not only lasted the best, it has held up. I lead a very active lifestyle and in these 6 years it...
My Most Reliable Smart Watch Garmin Vivoactive 5
Very accurate and easy to use. I even use this as a postage scale. I love that the display can pull away when the plate is large. This little device helped me learn serving sizes! You can't manage what you don't measure. This device is one of a few t...
This is the Best Food Scale I've Found
This is the most accurate scale I've ever own, and I've had the smart scale Aria as well as others. My favorite feature is that it is wide enough for my cat. He also needed to lose weight, and I was able to train him to sit on it for a minute so I co...
Most Accurate Scale For Me & My Cat
Weight training with free weights is the best way to build muscle. I prefer these metal weights because they will last. Plastic and Rubber covered weights wear away and sand leaks out. These will last a lifetime. And if you want them in a cute color,...
Cast Iron Dumbbell Weights Are Best
Don't bother with the cheaper knock-offs. This one is high quality. Great for core strengthening, body weight exercise and balance activities. You can design an entire exercise routine around this one piece of equipment.
BOSU For Core Strengthening
This fits easily under the desk for those days when you feel restless. I pair this with a raised tray table for my laptop since I don't have a fancy desk that elevates. Easy to store when not in use.
Work-Out While Working with the Under Desk Treadmill Walking Pad
Stretching is an important part of exercise. This strap helps get a deeper stretch. I like the different 'rungs' on the strap so I can note my progress when I can go into a deeper stretch. It's a very helpful tool. (Affiliate Link)
Stretch Strap Helps Get the Most Out of Your Stretching Routine
This is a great little tool for aching legs. My legs ache after I stand and walk all day at work. I like this one because it's quieter than most, has a range of attachments, 6 speeds and gives a very deep massage. If you've ever had a loud massager, ...
Deep Tissue Massager Post Workout Really Helps
There are a lot of ways to stretch your Achilles and hamstrings, this is my favorite. It supports my entire foot while I'm doing it, unlike when I just drop my heel on a step. I can also do this in the living room while I'm watching tv. I love having...
My Favorite Way to Achilles Stretch
I am on my feet all day long, I have a fairly active job. These shoes have been my very favorites. They are comfortable and are stable. Too squishy and I can't walk as quickly. Too hard and my feet hurt. This is a great balance. (Affiliate Link)
My Go-To Sneakers: Under Armour Apparition Shoes
Having arthritis knees limits my exercise choices, but this machine is low-impact and I get a very good cardio workout. This may be silly, but I'm in love with the little fan. It has bluetooth, so my music in right there. I love looking at beautiful ...
My Best Exercise Equipment: NordicTrack AirGlide 14i Elliptical
I know it sounds unbelievable, but copper does reduce odor in socks. I loves these socks for that and they are a bit cushioned. It helps especially when I know I'll not only be on my feet at work all day, but then have to attend a work function in th...
Copper Really Does Control Odor! Copper Fit 2.0 Energy Compression Socks
There is more than one pocket! Love these! So comfortable it's like wearing a breeze, soft and light. I prefer having a longer t-shirt over them because there are panty lines and I'm not comfortable with showing all my curves in public. In my basemen...
Can't Go Wrong with Nike Women's Leggings with Pockets
This top comes down lower on the waist than most and I like to pair this with my leggings. The arms aren't too low, so my bra isn't showing. High in the back like a t shirt, which is more comfortable for me than racer backs. Love how quickly it dries...
I Feel Like an Athlete in My Nike Women's Dri-FIT Training Tank
Getting outside to garden is important to me, and these capris are just the right fit. Long enough when I have to go through the weeds, short enough to be cool. The Flex - To - Go means they move with you. I'd never use my yoga pants outside, but the...
Favorite Capris for Working in the Yard
Easy Weight Loss Tip: Carry a big lunch bag with lots of extra snacks to keep me away from the vending machines. If I'm hungry I might be tempted to get something from the machine, but if I have a bag full of healthy snacks, then I can still keep on ...
