So, how often do you update your weight settings on your HRM?

    I haven't yet, but I've lost about 4 pounds since I bought mine...guess I better figure out how to do that! :)

    Umm, I haven't. But thanks for the reminder. I think I've lost 12 lbs since I got it.

    I just got a new one because my old one crapped out on me- I haven't done it yet, but I plan on doing it every 5 lbs or so.

    I just got mine and haven't had to change it, but I'm thinking every 5lbs or so would be good!

    As often as I remember, which is usually 10 pounds because MFP reminds me to change my goals here.

    Would imagine ever 5 lbs is good. But is you are good about having a weigh in day a week that would likely be optimum.

    I'm such an idiot, I totally forgot to alter mine, thank you!

    Looks like the general answer to "How often to you update" is "Whoops!" :bigsmile:

    I change mine for every 3 lbs lost, since I can fluctuate 2 lbs every day but 3 lbs loss is (in my mind) a real loss and can alter my results. lol

    I change mine only when a significant amount is dropped. Also, don't forget to adjust your resting heart rate - do the test every month or so. That changes things, too.
