Does anyone know if the calorie counts that come up for various exercises take your weight into account?

    They do. As you lose weight you will see smaller burn numbers for the same exercise.

    The do, but they are not always accurate. Sometimes its too high and sometimes its too low. I recommend purchasing a heart rate monitor (one that has a heart strap) to get more accurate results. Good luck.

    Ditto!
    HRMs are brilliant and they don't need to be too expensive.
