I gained some weight when I started the pill, but luckily it was mostly bloating and went away after about 6 months or so. However, I was voraciously hungry for the first few weeks, and it took a lot of willpower not to eat everything in sight.

When was the last time you washed/clean your chest strap? I have a Polar FT7 and if I don't wash the strap once a week or so it'll give me funky readings.

You definitely want one with the chest strap. The ones without one are no more accurate than what a machine spits out at you, an not worth the money. You don't even notice the chest strap once you put it on, but it's so worth it!

I actually wear tights/leggings under my shorts, mostly because I'm self conscious but it has the added side effect of preventing chafing.

Do you run outside or on the treadmill? Also, do you get tingling when you're not running?
