    Love my heart rate monitor and chest strap (New Balance N4 for women).
    The calorie burns listed on MFP were much too high for me. I have a slightly erratic pulse, and the equipment at the gym (treadmill, elliptical, etc.) could never accurately pick up my heart rate so would give me artificially LOW results.
    Now that I have my HRM, I get better information and I'm more assured that I'm working out where I should be.
    Need it, no. But then again....I don't actually *need* a gym membership or a treadmill or free weights or work out dvds either. LOL
    $69 at Target, and like others have said, don't waste your time getting one without a chest strap. Good luck!
