FYI- I ended up with a Polar A5, which I got online at Sports Authority for $69 delivered. From what I've read (Consumer Reports), it is a good monitor for the money. There are so many manufacturers and models out there, that I just decided to go with the gold standard.

Weight Loss/ Weight Control
On my interval day (one per week), I do 10 X 200M with 45 seconds of rest. Other days (2-3 per week) I do a 60 minute session or a 10-12K. It has worked well thus far for me. I also do 3 days of weight training each week.

Weight Loss/ Weight Control
If you are actively rowing 6 out of 7 days, you should not consider yourself sedentary. You should base your BMR on at least the moderately active equation. I also think 4 lbs/week weight loss is too much, and a more reasonable expectation/goal would be about 2 lbs/wk. Starvation mode kicks in when ...
