Oh congrats! I've been wondering for a long time if I should get one, I can't really decide if i need it or not, and I'm definitely tight on the budget.
I'd be curious if readings vary from day to day and by how much, so please let me know

well it will vary with how much effort im putting in, thats for sure. im planning on using my elliptical for 40 minutes tonight and i will post the comparison for that.
the one i got was $70 fyi.0 -
Burns vary daily doing the same activity based on your own level of intensity. Plus as you get better at activities (such as a Level in 30DS) your body will be more efficient and you will burn fewer calories even if you are putting your all into it.0
