    The strap has to touch your skin. There are two contact areas that need to be run under water prior to wearing, then you put the strap on against your skin. I put it right under the strap of my sports bra to keep it place.

    You can also look on Ebay. They have a Pyle brand that looks to be fairly decent, comes in pink and is only $28.00. I have been looking into getting one of these.

    I don't have the money for all those other straps since I quit my job to be a stay at home mom so I bought the one thats on your wrist and I lay it right on my pulse lines and fasten it together right there. It works just as good as the straps. I got mine at walmart for 30$. Alot of people don't like using the wrist ones, they do perfer the straps around the chest area.

    I have to tuck mine in under the girls because if I put it where the bra strap is, it often loses contact with my skin and I appear to be dead with a 0 heartbeat as I bounce around a lot during my workout. So under the girls keeps it from bouncing around and I have a heartbeat the whole time. :wink:

    Awww. I'm a Momma and can sympathize with your Mom. She just wants you to keep all your money so you'll never be out of it!! :wink:

    I think it's awesome that you are spending your money on things that will encourage you to be healthy. I'm a grown woman and even though the calculations may not be 100% accurate, I love seeing calories burned in the time I've spend working my butt off instead of enjoying lounging around, eating, and growing a squishy butt. I'm not going to tell you to defy your mother. That's between you and her. Get your pros and cons list together and talk to her!

    Good luck and good on your for living a healthy lifestyle!

    That's a good one. But you can get it cheaper. I got mine at the Fitness Depot.

    Another vote for the Polar FT4. Comes with a chest strap and watch; I swear by it.

    Oh yeah, I have the Polar FT4 and love it. My run calories are a shade lower than the online and MFP calculators, but I'd rather under than over estimate!

    That link will take you directly to the FT4 page on the Fitness Depot website.

    It comes with a strap, a watch and the transmitter that you attach to the strap. You wear the watch and the strap at the same time.

    The difference is the features of the device. There is a comparison page on the Polar website. I found the FT4 a good combination of features without paying a fortune for it. (Basically I wanted it to tell me how many calories burned in a workout.)

    You can choose other models to compare the FT4 with here:
