Step-by-Step Challenge Building:
Select: “Click here to start a new weight challenge”.
After choosing to create a new weight challenge: Name your challenge and select a challenge image or icon. You can choose one of the provided images or upload one of your own.
Challenge Type: Determine which type of challenge you want to build.
Percent Gain/Loss: In a weight loss challenge, participants strive to lose as much (healthy) weight as possible in the given period of time.
Maintain Don't Gain: With a maintain don't gain challenge, participants strive to stay within two (2) pounds of their starting weight.
*All weight challenges only display percent change on the challenge leaderboard. To respect the privacy of participants, actual participant weights are never displayed.
Challenge comments or description: Add a challenge description to inform and engage the participants.
Pick the challenge settings: Allowing manual entry allows participants to use manually entered weights from their health profile page in the challenge, this must be checked.
Select Dates: Currently weight challenges can be up to 13 weeks long. You can select any range of dates for each of these periods from 1 day to many but the dates must be consecutive. Initial week and Final week must be filled in in order to create the challenge. At the end of the challenge the weight(s) recorded during the final period will be compared to the weight(s) recorded during the initial period to determine overall ranking.
Once all the needed information is completed: Click Create Challenge.
