HRM Chest Strap Tightness?

So, I bought my HRM about 2 months ago now and finally decided it was time to tighten the Chest Strap. Worked out and saw about 100 extra calories burned... Im now wondering if I really worked out that hard, or if tightening the chest strap made a difference. Any ideas?

    Thats weird?? Maybe it was so loose before that it wasn't picking up all of your heart beats?? Thats the only thing I can think of. I tightened mine after I realized that during the middle of my workout it would stop taking my pulse... because it wasn't adhered to my chest enough... so it could be that?
