Calories and HRM question!

Hey guys. I started exercising consistently around January... up until about 3 weeks ago, I could pretty much burn 100 calories every 10-12 minutes... Now I am barely burning 80... I've lost around 30 pounds since January... Could it just be that since I am more active and have lost weight it is harder to burn those calories??? I thought this would happen eventually just not as soon as it did! I seem to be okay on machines and have tried switching it up... Thoughts???

I use the Polar Ft4 with the chest strap.

    as you lose weight and get in better shape, doing the same exercise will result in lower calorie burn.

    time to up the intensity.
