    I don't know how many calories you burn but I also use one - especially when I do my Leslie Sansone tapes.

    I purchased it ages ago and just recently shook the dust off.

    I don't know how many extra calories u can burn but if u go to http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc and plug in your weight + the weighted vest then chose walking or whatever exercise you're doing it should give you the amount of calories you've burned.

    Thanks that's a good idea, it's only half the amount I've lost but feels really heavy! I don't run anyway never mind with an extra 10 lb thanks for your responses .

    Well apparently it's an extra 114 calories well worth it !
