Since the closing of the website I've felt a bit lost. WW made tracking food intake part of my daily life, so too Prez Challenge made tracking activity a part too. I never used the WW activity tracker because I thought the calorie burn to be overstated, and more recently we had this discussion about the MFP activity tracker as well. I have used the calorie consumption app on my Garmin and always thought the Prez Challenge calorie #'s to be reasonably accurate (bike burns maybe a bit overstated). Anyway, just curious about that others in the group are turning to now that Prez Challenge is kaput.

    Not sure Kevin (?) I have also been keeping track of my activity on a how many minutes thread. I have always tracked my bicycling mileage (on calendar) and a WW buddy got me using bikejournaldotcom for that too. I have a calorie counter in my Garmin which I use biking on more challenging rides.

    I write on old paper calendar my daily bike ride mileage and walk miles. Yeah one of the older versions of Prez Chal was pretty good in looking at points as calories. The latest version was way too generous for my bike miles and points than the older version. I ordered my platinum medals but don't know if they will ever deliver them.

    I didn't order the medals, but I did get a platinum hat. Figure that will be a collector's item some day. Bob, my name is Kevin, good memory.

    I was off line when Pres web site changed. I "thought" it sounded like it was going to change but not go away? I liked getting credit for activity and will miss it if it never returns. (I did buy a hat and tee shirt)
    For now my pool has a chart where we record and can see our monthly total of laps/miles swam.
    My Fitbit gives me a weekly report on steps. I guess I could:should start recording those to set up some goals and/or achievements.
    What I liked about the Pres Challenge was how I could record any/all activity like yard work.
