How Often Do You Update Your HRM?

Just wondering how often you guys adjust your weight settings on your Heart Rate Monitors. I have been adjusting mine every 10lbs but am wondering if I need to do so more often? Just curious what others are doing. Was thinking of doing it every 5lbs instead. I have the Polar F4 and am thinking of upgrading if you having any suggestions about that I am open to that as well. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reminder, I need to update mine :)

    I read somewhere (I think on Scooby's) that you're supposed to adjust your calories after every 5lbs of weight loss. I'd carry that over to the HRM too. Plus it'd be easy to make all your adjustments at once.

    Hmm, never heard of the 5lb rule, but it most def makes since to do everything at the same time! Thanks!
