    hi and welcome to MFP!

    You can’t exchange emails here on the board, and the only way you can exchange them via private message is to send or receive a friend request, have it accepted, and then you can exchange emails via private message.

    MFP doesn’t permit you to message anyone who hasn’t already accepted you as a friend, because of a “porn bot” problem here several years ago. The bot(s) was scooping up user ids and sending all of us at the time porn related photos and messages. I think even photos have been disabled in messages for that reason. I literally have sent maybe one message in the past year.

    I’d caution you that 98% of the friend requests you are going to get would rather get into your Apple wallet than your Apple Watch.

    That said, it’s very easy to join Apple Challenges anonymously, either as an individual, or in a four person group. You can share small supportive messages but not private ones. It ranks you or your group compared to all of the folks who have joined.

    Another caution, if you’re OCD like me, these challenges can get wildly out of control. Treat it as a game, or it will drive you crazy. I stopped for that reason. I found myself screaming at anonymous team members who would never know or care for “not contributing”, and doing crazy stuff to come in with perfect scores for the individual challenges.

    It’s free, though, so if you love it and find it motivating, great! If you tend to lose yourself in it….walk away, lol.

    and PS…

    Syncing Apple Watch to MFP was life changing for me.

    For the first time in my life, I understood in versus out. How long and how much work it took to burn off the equivalent of a serving (2 lousy cookies!!!😭) of Oreos. How switching Oreos for something more filling and more nutritious helped stave off craving the next serving of Oreos.

    You have a minor miracle on your wrist. Put that sucker to work!
