I dropped my weight from 236 lbs to 200 lbs on the Garmin and the numbers have come closer in line with mfp and the Oregon hrm now, I will stick with that for a few weeks and see if I get any weight loss, if not I will just have to knock some more off :)

22.6 miles today taking me to 650.58 for the month so far, not getting any easier hauling my lardy backside around these roads though !! http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/gregsonevans/br6qkho6aerd192f

When I use my Oregon hrt I have to bust a gut on my bike to get about 600 calories per hour and when I am out walking with my 4 year old niece it gives me over 300 for walking at a snails pace !!!

I wonder how much money is spent every year on rubbish that is just pure guesswork? I think the best advice is to not trust any of them and keep your money as my wallet is losing weight faster than me !!!

Both of the hrm's were showing pretty much the exact same bpm and the average was the same after the ride so I would have thought that they were working properly, the average was much the same as it normally was when I only had the Oregon on

I could only just about turn my handlebars with all the weight on them :laugh:

I have entered all my details on them, weight, height etc and I was wearing 2 chest straps for the heart monitors

Are we all in agreement then that a decent hrm is always going to be more accurate?

Has anyone else had similar problems with exercise apps or sites like this being way too generous with exercise calories?

I got lucky by finding a decent second hand one for just 5 pound, a real eye opener though

I always carry a few flapjacks with me, easy to carry and high in calories

17.5 miles today taking me to 392.74 for the month, only a small ride today as I did another 15 miles on the exercise bike at home to try out my new hrm and I am not counting them towards my total http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/gregsonevans/aqvfbqa0bqlr9d8m

I am not counting the exercise bike miles though

Just realised that the link is for sportstracklive and not sports tracker, back to square one I guess !!

Thank you, great help
