Does MFP take into account your current weight for exercise entries? I notice people putting in the same exercise as me for the same amount of time and having completely different burns.

AND the calories on MFP don't match my treadmill, they are actually lower.

    it does go by your weight. My sister and I are doing the same things but weigh different. she burns more than i do because she weighs more. if you play around with the numbers under exercise and in the search area, you can change the weight and see what someone else's size would burn. If they weigh more then they work off more calories.

    They say to use what your tread mill has for calories because you could have different settings then what they had used for the example.
