  • There are two topics on this forum that I found interesting reads that you might want to see. This one was over a study done on the accuracy of polar hrm, however keep in mind the study was done on already physically fit people and it was not a mass study. So take it with a grain of salt, but its worth the read anyway.…

  • The very best thing you can do is to get something to test each scale out with. Easiest way to test is to get something like a 10 pound dumbbell and see which one is more accurate.

  • If you really want cake, even if you go above your net calories, I think it is fine as long as you consider that that is not something you can do everyday. You could also just work out extra the next day or something to make up for it. Also.....because my inner gamer requires this be said. The cake is a lie. (nobody is…

I consider anything before I go to sleep one day, even if its after midnight. I just don't go above my net calories. I wouldn't eat a ton before you go to bed or anything, because…

  • Diet alone can get you to the weight you need. However, while my health complications are not as great as yours, due to several terrible knee accidents, I couldn't find an exercise that wouldn't kill my knee.

  • It could be allot of things, when you work out and you don't properly wash/moisturize after then that can lead to breakouts. Change of diet can also. Environmental changes can as well. So many factors. Somebody once told me (but I took it with a grain of salt) when you start living a healthier lifestyle it sometimes makes…

  • Thank you for that info Minnie, I had read some topic on these forums somewhere (it was a bit older), saying there was some study done where they found it wasn't accurate because it didn't account for vo2max or something and on women it was off by about 33% or something. Which is where I got that number from. However, I…
    in Polar FT4 Worth getting? Comment by YorriaRaine January 2014
  • Thank you for your opinions everyone. I think I'm gonna end up picking up the ft4 and doing as I said and just take away 33% so I have a buffer in-case it is overestimating some of my calories!
