Choose one challenge

A simple challenge works best: log every meal, hit your protein goal or walk 8,000 steps. You can write your own challenge when you create the group.

A group of 4 to 10 people who know each other lasts the longest. Share a link on WhatsApp, and everyone who joins goes straight into the challenge.

The leaderboard resets every week, so there is always a fresh start. A short reply to a friend’s meal does more than you think.
