When I enter in the length of time I work on the elliptical (50 minutes), MFP gives me a number of calories burned automatically. Since I updated my weight, the number given by MFP has dropped by a few calories. Not that it matters or anything...but I am curious. Does MFP use your current weight to come up with that number?

    Yeah, I think it does too.
    I know that I was shocked when I updated my HRM and I was burning less calories but still sweating and panting like crazy!!
