I did post what I knew about, and posted the facts. These other kind posters expanded and went further into the facts as to why it wouldn't work, where I was not knowledgeable. Between all of us, we posted facts...but thank you, I have noted your *opinion* of me and my credibility. Have a wonderful day! :)

You may be correct, lol! I have been a MFP member for a very long time. I set up a new account to try start fresh after having my baby. So I am not a new poster, it just looks like it. Granted, I haven't looked at many community posts until the last couple of days. Hopefully these responses will further clarify what the…

Thank you! This is what she was asking and got scrutinized. I was stating what I had learned, and with you and wolfman further clarifying, she learned something (I know I did). Expanding on my response as to why she shouldn't is extremely helpful...so thank you!

I was giving credited facts about a chest strap. You posted about your experience, which is extremely helpful and answers what the OP was asking (more so than what I've given). She can take the information from all of us and do as she pleases with it.

Thank you for clarifying this for her! This gives a much better explanation of why she shouldn't wear it all day!

From the ACC: "The chest strap monitor closely matched readings from the electrocardiogram (EKG), which is the gold standard for measuring the heart's activity (level of agreement with EKG, rc=.996; 1 being perfect agreement);" We can argue about this all day...is it meant to be worn all day? NO! Can she try it and see?…

If you reread my post, you will see where I said, it's not going to hurt anything to try it, also stating it may not be 100% accurate. My point is that she will get a more accurate picture using a chest strap monitor because it is as close to wearing a EKG machine all day then she would be going off of MFP's calculations…

This is false information. While exercising, a monitor with a chest strap is going to give you a very accurate calorie burn, as well as keep you in your targeted heart rate zone.

Wow...tough crowd! A heart monitor with a chest strap is going to be *more* accurate than any monitor that tries to go off of the pulse on your wrist. Unfortunately there isn't going to be anything that would be 100% accurate. You could try it for a day to get a rough estimate and something to go off of, but like the…
