    Have you gotten it all figured out? I want to get one, but I don't want it to be too difficult for me! lol

    Oh yeah, I totally have it all worked out. Its so simple that I was WAY over complicating it. Seriously simple to use!

    Ever wonder if the generic calorie burn figures that MFP uses are accurate? I did, so finally, I bought an HRM. My wife, (MFP user: SMC_Chick) did, too. We both bought the same model but haven't compared notes on HRM vs MFP yet.

    Today was my first day with the Polar FT7 HRM. Turns out that MFP's calorie burn was a bit high. I want a realistic calorie burn so I know where I stand from day to day.

    Today's example: 105 minutes on the elliptical. MFP says 1529 calories. Polar HRM says 1209 calories.

    If, every day, I burn 300 calories less than I thought, that is over 2,000 extra calories I am carrying with me every week. Crikey! Knowledge is power?!
