if i take my heart rate my self (finger on pulse) 5 times in a 25 minute workout then average it. does anyone know a formula that combines weight, heart rate to give a better result than the ones on this website that is more personal.

    Try this website created by a triathalete.

    Be aware, that not knowing your VO2 max can over estimate your calories.
