    Oh congrats! I've been wondering for a long time if I should get one, I can't really decide if i need it or not, and I'm definitely tight on the budget.

    I'd be curious if readings vary from day to day and by how much, so please let me know :)

    Burns vary daily doing the same activity based on your own level of intensity. Plus as you get better at activities (such as a Level in 30DS) your body will be more efficient and you will burn fewer calories even if you are putting your all into it.
