@UpDownAround: Yes, you are right. However, there are not any pretty ladies at my home as there are at LA Fitness.

My wrist band is giving me about 140 calories per mile. I have consulted various online activity calculators, including one claiming to be accurate. This method has come up with me burning anywhere from 110 to 120 calories per mile, and perhaps a bit more depending on my effort. The difference is about 20%. So my monitor is not that terribly inaccurate. I may still be able to use this number as an estimate. So I will take the total calories for my exersizes for the day and reduce it by 20%. I will add this to 2150. This will be my calorie target for the day. At least this will provide me a starting point. I am walking enough nowadays to need to be able to factor in exersize. As a side note, I have a much harder time getting my heart rate above 140. Between this and how much more rapidly my heart rate recovers from exersize, I think I am actually becoming healthier.
