Had I known it was such a useful tool, and not just measuring heart rate, I would have bought one long ago! Best of luck to you on your weight loss journey! I'd also like to invite you to check out www.sparkpeople.com it is a great site with loads of info. I love my Polar F6.

I've been unsure if the chest strap on that one will fit on me or not, which is why I haven't picked it up yet! Some of the machines in the gyms do ask for age / sex / weight though typically you have to go into one of their programs for that. They tend to be fairly accurate (or at least as accurate as the heart rate monitor). I've heard both sides of the heartrate story... I don't know which is really true! I prefer high-intensity exercise (I feel like I'm doing more?), so I try to alternate. :) You really are an inspiration (I just finished my workout myself!), and I enjoy reading your posts (knitting related and not)! :) I’ve been trying to pick out a heart rate monitor for a while… I’ve been unsure if the chest strap on that one will fit on me or not, which is why I haven’t picked it up yet!

I never knew that having a higher heartrate actually burned less fat than a lower one - very cool! It will also motivate me to get out there and go for a walk! Wow – that was a great read!

I am an avid exerciser, sometimes a little compulsive about it, but love it nonetheless. I have been considering getting a heart rate monitor and I think you may have pushed me over the edge. Its interesting to consider how much our bodies are like machines, and the processes that go on under our skin that make us work. Congratulations on taking your goals so seriously, and for working so hard to achieve them. Your motivation is a real inspiration. That was some informational post.

Maybe that would help me get my act together. But what is most amazing is that YOU'RE ONLY 25!!! Arrrrgh! I feel so old! And you know I just finished a huge work project up in Columbia and just NOW read in your blog's sidebar about the Columbia knitting groups. Another Arrrrgh! I did go to All About Yarn last week AND this week, though, so at least I got a yarn fix while up there. Hey, if you ever come thru Richmond, you must let us Richmond knit-bloggers know so that we can meet you at one of the shops. :-) What a way-cool watch, Lolly!
