Believe MFP of my Wii?

I just jogged in place for 30 minutes. My wii fit showed a burn of 310 calories, but when I searched for jogging in place on MFP it showed a burn of over 450. It also had in parenthesis running but I didn't do any running. I basically jogged in place and around my condo. How should I log it?

*edit* Meant to Say OR my wii! Any suggestions?

And does anyone have any sites or places they know of to order a good HRM?

I went with the Wii until I got a heart rate monitor two months after starting. In comparison I find the MFP numbers exaggerated but I do burn a bit more than Wii says too! Not much help - get an HRM!

I know I was thinking about getting one because it would be nice to have an accurate amount of calories burned per workout.

I like my Polar FT-7 and I ordered it from Ebay.

When in doubt, I always opt for the smaller number. I would rather have burned more (but didn't know it), that over count and then think I have all those extra calories for the day.
