I just bought the Polar FT7 HRM this weekend and this morning was my first time using it. WTH!!!! Only 259 calories burned when MPF said I was burning over 700. No wonder I was stalled out after the first 2 weeks, eating my exercise calories. If you don't have a HRM please get one. Thanks to everyone who suggested this HRM love it:smile:

    At least now you know what you are really burning.

    My treadmill would say I am running something like 700 calories, but my HRM would show I was, in actual fact, burning around 550. It makes a big difference :flowerforyou:

    Yep, it makes a huge difference! I bump up the incline on the treadmill and push up the level on the elliptical to get a higher heart rate and burn now.
