    Polar FT40. Paid about a $100 for it and it's been worth every cent. MFP seriously overestimated my calories burned.

    I bought my Polar FT4 on Amazon for 70 about three weeks ago. I had it shipped overnight and paid extra to do that. My whole reason for buying this was I was paying attention to the members who are putting up big numbers and being successful. I want what they have, and I am willing to buy the right tools for the job!

    I love it! I am so much more motivated to go to the gym with a goal of burning 500 calories. (I shared this idea with my doctor at my check up a couple weeks ago and she was very pleased.) It's nice to feel more in control of your results. I told my trainer boyfriend he needs to ask all his future clients to pick one up. I swear it helps you stay on track more.

    I did do some research in the fitness aisle at Walmart after the fact for a friend. They have them for 29, 39, and 49 bucks. Each does a couple more things than the last. One idea is to buy this, use it once or twice, and return it if you hate it. You could go back, and invest in one the people on the thread are suggesting. Mine is pink and I love it! :) Do your research!

    **MFP and the cardio machines were overestimating calorie burn. This is more accurate.
