How do you all track the calories you burn? Do you all use a Heart Rate monitor, if so which one?

I want to make sure I'm getting a some what accurate count on the calories I'm burning so that I can put it into MFP.

Thanks!

    I recently purchased a HRM about 6 weeks into the program. I'm so happy I did. I went to Sports Authority and bought a Polar FT4. I like it a lot. I haven't had any problems with it.

    I think you can get HRM's for less on Amazon, but I wanted mine right away so I paid a little extra.

    I really wanted to be able to accurately see how many calories I was burning during my workouts. That way if I was burning little calories, it would motivate me to work harder.

    Thats the one I was looking at on Amazon, I may have to get one! I get free 2 day shipping and being that I live right next to a Amazon Hub, sometimes it comes within a day if it's being shipped form there.

    I got the Polar FT7. I love it, it makes working out seem sort of like a video game :)

    Oh man, every time I go to work out that's what I look forward to my FT7 the most. It was like a new toy... probably the best thing I'd purchased this year.
