So there isn't currently the ability to organize your own game. We can just pick one and hijack it?

I had the same issue with the Transformer.  I think we can join and motivate via the boards.

When I joined I just picked a random one, had heard about it through a friend but she was already in week 3 of hers so I just picked one. I'm actually in my second one right now, I've found it to work really well

[curbsideprophet]

What is this? Can I get more details?

[curbsideprophet]

Thanks. I am interested but not sure if they support my tracker (jawbone).

[aspentosh]

I'd probably be interested.

swizz, how do the goal and stretch days compare? I'm worried because I average 12k+ up to 18k steps a day. Not sure I want to have a ton of 20k step days, at least on vacation.

I could do this. I always hesitate to sign up for the weight loss ones since I am TTC.

So does it download data from your recent history to determine your average steps in a day? and then use that to come up with your goals?

[beefjerky]

Crap, I didn't realize you could only be in 1. Mine doesn't end for another 5 weeks, ha. Good luck everyone, I really like it!!

Yes -- if you click join a game, it'll show you your step goals before actually committing you to a game. FWIW, my step goals are similar if I do that now v. what they were when I joined my current StepBet game a month ago.

So, I just started using my Fitbit again. The only two days on it have been unusually high - 1OK-12K. Will it base my active and stretch days off that? What if I wait a week and there are less active days. Will it average all of them before deciding on my goals?

[lishie]

Ooh, I'd be up for doing this. But I only have an apple watch, is there a link to check this out?

[bananapancakes]

I'm in!

[undecidedowl]

I'm interested! How do I join?

[hermione]

I'll join closer to the start date. Will you do a reminder swizz?

[bananapancakes]

Ugh, my active day goal is 10.5 thousand and over 14 for my stretch days. That might be tricky.

[aspentosh]

I still don't see a place to view my goals before clicking "join bet". Am I missing something?

[pizzapizza]

I will add this to the diet bet sticky swizz. Any recs on a fitness tracker?

[aspentosh]

HahahahahHa. I shot myself in the foot with this one since I have been getting more steps recently.

Goal- 17400
Stretch- 20,500

I may be out for now anyway because I won't be able to sync while on vacation. Maybe I will join one when I get back.

Omg. That is amazing! I've never even been close to a number like that.

[aspentosh]

I had H check his goal and stretch days. 25k and 31k. He gets 20k steps a day, so I always feel like my 16-18k is piddly. I know it's not

[cgpm]

My goal would be 9k and my stretch would be 12k. Does anyone know if they update the goal before you start? Or will it stay the number it just assigned me? Because I think I may be able to do this...

Girl, you've been killing it lately!

swizz - I want to join!

[somersault72]

Definitely interested! The active and stretch they've given me today are doable, while still being a challenge.

I like my jawbone up2 but I am still trying to figure out if I can connect it to this. It seems like maybe I can through Apple health but I have not completely figured it out yet.
