Chest strap for sure! I know it's a bit more, I had to save a little bit longer for my Polar FT4, but it was SO WORTH IT! Just be careful, the only ones I found between 50 and 70 on amazon or ebay didn't come with the chest strap. You could pay 50 for the watch, and then have to pay another 40 else where for the strap.

Always on my finger :)

I used my HRM without the chest strap just out of curiosty and it was a huge difference. It sort of irritated me since I know most first time buyers will buy only the watch cause it's cheaper obviously than buying the watch and strap set.

Aww, what a great feeling! Keep it up :)

This site is amazing... sometimes even though I know what I should probably do... I need to hear it from others. Thanks so much for taking a minute to help me out :) I am going to up my calories ... from 1320 to 1500.... I will still work out, try to do more high intensity stuff, and continue to use my weights. Have a…

You lost it and the doggie got it! hahahaha so cute! CONGRATS!

That or we can all help you improve english speaking skills? haha

The only crush I have is on my goal weight around here, but I know I'll never have it... I'll have one better!!!! HA

Did another 2 miles... for a total of 10 done.

Hey! I've lost 55 pounds and I started 6 months ago! Keep it up... a lb a week is really decent :)

Great job!!!!!!!

I personally don't like them. The meat grosses me out, the texture, everything. They are full of chemicals... I actually cook a bunch all at once at home and just put them in my own containers to freeze. Tastes real and it's healthy! :D

When people make excuses as to why they can't change things that THEY screwed up on in the first place.

Wow great job!

I did 5 miles today! :)

I have the Polar FT4. It's great!.... it's really comfy, the strap doesn't bother me at all. I have been enjoying working out more so because I love knowing exactly what I'm burning :) When I was researching, I narrowed it down to the Polar brand... between the FT4 or the FT7. I didn't need all the bells and whistles so I…

I'm totally in for 62 miles this month! Good luck all!

I don't find the lack there of hair or the plentiful amount of hair attractive... I find the man who treats me with respect, loves me and supports me... to be the attractive part. To me that makes everything about him attractive. If a woman is concerned about the hair, then they have other issues deeper than the bald spot.

Yes, as the girl said above... tested it out and my HRM calories are the same as the high impact choice. I do her videos 3 times a day.... they are great!!!! If you really dig down deep on the few steps, and add a bounce to the kicks and so on... at least for me, my HRM is the same as MFP's high impact level :)

Hey! Hang in there girl :) Honestly... sticking to your calorie goal is ideal... good for you! BUT, you have to put food into your body at the same time that will fuel it, not bog it down or be hard for it to process. Deep fried things... processed foods, fast foods... alot of breads... these are all things your body has…

I agree, ... I am pleased with my FT4.... it's a basic idea that I needed... and I just didn't need bells and whistles.

Yes Yes Yes! I Just got my Polar FT4 in the mail and did my first work out yesterday. My calories burned from the HRM were 85 more than the basic setting on MFP! I was really happy with how it worked and it's very comfy. You don't even feel the strap. I think you'll love it!

I personally just got done throwing up... it ain't paying rent so it ain't unpacking it's bags on my hips... JK, don't message me, I don't have a eating disorder.

Wow!!!!!! He is going to love you all over again hehe... that's so wonderful! Good work!

I just bought the Polar FT4! with the chest strap... I got it for 80.00 on the internet... heartratemonitorsusa.com :)

Haha, nice.... thanks so much :)

Thanks so much for all your advice!!!!!

Thanks!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! I just noticed you could buy it with or without the strap... I kinda wish the desciription would have said what ya'll just did... that the strap is needed in order for the watch to keep track.. ******* Are there any HRM that you can just wear on your upper arm like the biggest looser and not have to wear…

All I can say is... I was only netting 200 calories a day after considering my 1000 calorie burn a day. I got REALLLLLLLLLLLY sick. It's 4 weeks... and I still don't feel well. My body completely shut down after I started blacking out (although I had felt GREAT!) even the day before. Your body will get back at you. So as…
