Yay that is why I thought it would be better to get a HRM. I'm not really trusting the calories burned with MFP. I have to be as accurate as possible. I don't want to be over on my calories. I was also looking at the Fitbit. A lot of great reviews for that one as well as the polar.

So I bought a Fitbit Zip and needless to say its going back to the store. I'm going with the polar. FB was saying I burned over a 1000 calories without me doing anything. Ugh.

I think we do during the course of any normal day, don't we? I'm not sure how fitbit works. I don't count my total burner though, only actual exercise or physical labor. This weekend I want to clean out the van and I totally plan on slapping on my polar. :)

I'm a proud owner of a polar ft4. Went during lunch and changed it. So excited. Thank you all.

Ps it was reflecting those calories burned as soon as I put the battery in without me doing anything. Lol

Um. Sweat lots? Hehe

You might not need the band as tight as I thought I did at first. It's loosened and it still works great.

Not much to say, just get your workout on!!!

How come my polar doesn't send the info to MFP. I linked them. Also do you feel the calories burned are pretty accurate?

I feel it's very accurate. I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't. ;). When I was logging a certain work out into MyFitnessPal it said 107. When I got my heart rate monitor I did the same work out and it said 105. I do believe it works perfectly. I mostly wanted it for things like walks, C25K, and strength training. Also manual labor. I love it.

I didn't know any of them synched to mfp. I wrote above that I just add my calories burned, activity type and minutes manually on the mfp phone app.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
