How scores work

Progress days plus meal days plus workout days, with a worked example.

Your score is three parts added together, each worth a point a day. Here is each one on its own, using Alex, two weeks into a challenge. Then the sum.

Progress days 1 point per day

Every day you weigh in closer to your goal than your last weigh-in from an earlier day, you get 1 point for that day. Your first weigh-in is measured against the weight your goal started from.

Example. Alex has a target of 180 lb, and weighed in closer to it on 3 of the first 14 days, so 3 points.

Log a weigh-in from the check-in button. One that matches your last weigh-in, or is further from your goal, is still saved but adds no point. Progress days count weigh-ins, so they need a weight goal.

Meal days 1 point per day

Every day you scan a meal with the camera or add one by hand, you get 1 point for that day.

Example. Alex logged meals on 12 of the first 14 days, so 12 points.

Workout days 1 point per day

Every day you complete a workout in the Workouts tab, you get 1 point for that day.

Example. Alex worked out on 5 of the first 14 days, so 5 points.

Add them up

3 + 12 + 5 = 20. That is Alex’s score today. Consistency wins!

When does my score update?

Right after you log a meal, a workout or a weigh-in, and right after you delete one. The leaderboard in your group sorts by score.

Do more meals, workouts or weigh-ins in one day earn more points?

No. Each part counts days, not entries. One meal or five is one meal day; one workout or three is one workout day; one weigh-in or two is at most one progress day.

Can a later weigh-in take a progress point away?

No. A weigh-in further from your goal leaves the points you have where they are. Your next progress point comes on a later day, when you weigh in closer than that one.

My challenge shows goal progress out of 100 instead.

Challenges that were already running when progress days arrived, in October 2026, keep the scoring they started with until they end, including if they are extended. In those, the goal is worth up to 100 points: how far you have come toward it, as a percentage.

Start · 200 lbAlex · 195 lbTarget · 180 lb
0 points25% = 25 points100 points
Example. In one of those challenges, Alex started at 200 lb with a target of 180 lb and is now at 195. That is a quarter of the way, so 25 points, added to the meal days and workout days.

That part follows your latest weigh-in, so it goes down again if you move away from your target. It stops at 100 when you reach the target and never drops below 0. To see which scoring your challenge uses, open Points on its leaderboard. A challenge that is started over when it ends uses progress days.

My goal is in the wrong unit.
