    Sounds like you just earned a big treat!

    I love my long runs on Sunday - it means a guilt free 1000 cal breakfast with calories to spare!

    I love wearing mine skiing. I can easily burn 2,000 calories. Alas, it never equals a half a pound weight loss, but it feels good none the less.

    I ordered one last week. Should be getting it any day now. I'm totally looking forward to swim season with it, since it's waterproof too!! I am assuming it was easy to set up??

    I love mine!! It's really easy to set up and use. Awesome to know exactly how hard I'm working. I notice that my HR doesn't get quite as high, quite as fast. I feel like I'm working just as hard!! Doubt I'd notice that for a long time w/out the monitor. Guess I'm getting fitter :bigsmile:

    NICELY DONE!!

    Yeah I love watching my calorie burn on my Polar. I keep my view on heart rate though otherwise I think I'd check calorie burned too often and therefore throwing off my workout.

    lol this makes me angry. Bought a Polar HRM (not sure which model right now) and all of a sudden it is registering my starting heart rate in the 30s and only gets up to the 70s at the most intense part of my workout.. So bummed and jealous of your calories burned! Awesome job.

    Yours is broken no one has a 30 bpm heartbeat not even marathon runners. And 70 max that's normal for most people potteri g round the home. Get it replaced from the shop your bought it or Polar.

    Hey Blue, would you say that MFP has accurate calorie burn rates compared to your heart rate monitor? I'm curious as I'm looking to get one and see if what I log using MFP database matches my HR!

    Thats a good point it did cross my mind. I was going to take it a work to see how many calories I burn there too.
