I just got a new elliptical, and I've been using it every time I want to watch tv, which ends up being a lot.
MFP is saying I'm burning ridiculous amounts of calories..wondering if anyone has a HRM and is similar size so we might be able to compare? I'd like my logging to be accurate but I don't have the money to spend on a HRM right now. Thanks :3

    When logging exercise MFP seems to grossly exaggerate how many calories are burned! I only use the HRM on the machine it self and then adjust up a few calories because when I had an HRM it consistently read 40-50 more calories burned than the machine said...has worked so far.
