How do I know which heart rate monitor is right for me? Do you think this is the best tool for tracking actual calories burned during workouts?

    oh yeah - once you can really see what you are burning, it will change how you eat your calories back (which you should be doing!!)

    the trick to this whole weight loss thing is to be as comfortably accurate as you can...both logging food eaten a logging calories burned.

    Good Luck!

    I have the Ploar FT4, really love it!

    YES! I have the Polar FT7...I wanted to know how many calories I was burning while exercising (or as close as possible) and I wanted something that was comfortable and easy to program.

    and that's exactly what it does..

    best..purchase..ever!

    make sure either way you get one with a chest strap

    I have a polar F6 since dh found it at sears for 1/2 price last June. I LOVE IT. I love to play the numbers game, keep exercising til i hit 300 or 400 calories burnt. I also found it has made my exercise calories burnt much more accurate. For 30day shred MFP's numbers for circuit training are much higher than what i actually burn..

    I have the Polar F6.
    I freakin' LOVE it. It is easy to use, and the chest strap is very comfortable.
    I wouldn't know what to do without it.
