Hey all,
So I purchased a HRM and entered all my stats etc.

Was just wondering do you update it, when u lose weight?

If so how often do you update it, every pound?

Hope this isn't a silly ques:embarassed:

Thanks in advance :smile: :smile:

    I would say update it once you've moved 5 pounds (up or down) on the scale. Updating for every pound just seems a bit excessive lol.

    Mine asks for updates weekly. It does every Monday. So I just usually update it then.

    I agree. I wait until I lose a solid 5lbs and even wait to maintain it a few days to a week. Have fun with it. I find it motivating.

    I do about every five pounds as well, unless I'm on it messing with the settings anyway. :)

    Hi all,

    What kind of HRM do you all suggest? I've heard Polar is the best, appreciate any comments.

    Thanks.

    I change it every full 5 pounds that I drop and regardless of where my weight goes I keep it there.
