For those of you who have Fitbit watches, Fitbit has been informing its users that at the end of this month, they are discontinuing badges and challenges. We have had a small group of MFP Hogwarts Fitbit users who have occasionally done step/activity challenges with our Fitbit group.

Since Fitbit is closing off challenges to us, we have opted to use another app, called Stridekick, to do challenges together. You just have to download the app and set up an account, then put in a friend request.
My username on the new app is jflo_crna, we also have @starjam25 who is joni_mc over there, and @Slinky_BraveHeartBunsOfSteel who is S_BraveHeart over there.

The only suggestion I would make if you sign up on the Stridekick app is to adjust your profile to "private" or "friends only" instead of "public". Since they don't have private groups on Stridekick, you might end up with a bunch of randos sending you friend requests. You can do this by clicking on your profile in the lower right corner of your dashboard, then go to the setting gear wheel in the upper right of your profile, then scrolling down to the "Profile Privacy" tab and choosing accordingly.

I wanted to post this before end of term and before Fitbit discontinued the challenge option so other members would find us and any other Fitbit owners who might be interested.
