Back on the treadmill already this am. It is 7:30, I did 15 minutes and had breakfast, now just to journal a bit then shower and off to the office.
Interesting little tidbit about the treadmill this am. I purposely only did 15 minutes because I wanted to see how many calories it says I burned for that 15 min. It was 100 exactly. I was up to 6% incline and at 3 mph for most of the time except warm up and cool down of a minute each. I wear a BodyMedia Fit which I synched up just before I did the treadmill and also again just after. It says I burned 280 calories. I also checked a couple of other calculators to see what they say 15 min on treadmill burn and all said 100 give or take a few calories. I think most of these calculators if you are not given the option to say your incline or speed calculate at 0 incline and about 2.5 - 3 mph.
I think my BMF is most accurate, I wear it all the time and is what I record here for my exercise. FS really over estimates calories burned so if you are calorie counting and using this as your guide just be aware of that and check a few different calculators on other sites to be sure you are capturing accurate exercise.
Just my little observation this morning. Have a blessed day everyone. ~Babs

I've done similar experiments, although it seems way off, it's not quite as far off as you think. Keep in mind that you burn x calories just BEING, so you have to account for that. I took a look at a day where I didn't work out to get an idea of what I typically burn, & it was just over 100 calories an hour so I rounded down to 100. Say I burned 600 calories with 1 hour spent at the gym, I'd adjust it by 100 & figure only about 500 of those calories were really burned by working out. I do agree that you can't trust what exercise machines calculate, even if they trick you into giving them your weight.

I haven't been recording all my execise as I was before. I know roughly what I burn everyday. And my progress shows in body measurements and the scale. :) As long as I keep seeing results in those two, I'm pretty darn happy with it. But it is good to know that FS's exercise estimates is actually higher. I will keep that in mind about it.

I am not gonna get too worked up over it. Just trying to increase the exercise, keep the food clean and healthy. I do all my measurements monthly as well as rechecking BMI, Body Fat %, etc and keep an excel spreadsheet of it all. Kat, I know you do all that too. I think all of those results add up to being more important than a number on the scale.
