I have the Polar FT4 and love it. It's very easy to set up and operate, even for me. I got mine on eBay for about $80.

Yay for hairy chests!

Hi there! Southwestern Ontario.

Thanks for the link. Very interesting.

I, too, have had all the symptoms for hypothyroidism. My blood tests always come back normal. Now my mother and sister have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I've been told that it's a hereditary condition. So why do my tests come back normal? I have no idea. But I'm always tired, I'm always cold, and I've put on 50…

Chest hair = absolutely love it! Back hair = no freakin' way!

Polar FT4 here too. My daughter and I each have one. Very simple to use. Love it!

I love my Polar FT4. So easy to use, which is good for me because I'm technologically challenged. ;-)

I have a Polar FT4 which I bought from Ebay for about $80 (Cdn.). I also bought one for my daughter for Christmas. We both love it. It is so much more accurate than some of the calorie burns shown on MFP or some machines.

Thank you for starting this group. I was born in 1956 and I need to lose about 80 pounds. I am really ashamed of how big I have gotten. I used to be extremely active, was a nationally-trained athlete in my teens, and have worked around horses and dogs for years. In 2006 I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, underwent…

I was shopping at Target one day. I was standing, going through some clothes on a rack. One of the sales people came over and said, "The Plus size clothes are over there," and pointed to a different section. I smiled and said, "Thank you," but I was mortified inside.

Southwestern Ontario!

I agree with weathergirl32.

I also have the Polar FT4 which I received this week. Today was the second time I have used it. It kept saying to check the signal while I was working out. Maybe I didn't have it positioned properly? Anyway, the first time I used it, I was surprised at the calorie burn. It was way lower than what MFP has set and also way…

I will be turning 56 in May. My husband just turned 40.

Wow! You look absolutely amazing! Congratulations on your journey's end! :flowerforyou:

I bought a Polar FT4 for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it. I just ordered one for myself from eBay. Hope to get it in the next week. I hear they are very easy to operate and have batteries which can be owner replaced. Some of them have to be sent away for new batteries.

Sorry, guys. I couldn't wait for half-time to be over. I've never been a Madonna fan.

I do.

I totally agree with you. If I haven't heard from a "friend" in over a month, they are gone.

Okay, I have an addiction to books, food, vodka. I've also been known to hoard pens, pads of paper and such.
