A platform that allows you to challenge your friends & see who can lose the most weight. Create a group, invite friends, buy in & then weigh in daily. Beat your match-up weekly & you win money. Beat the entire group weekly & win more!
Thanks so much @chrismessina!
This is the very first version of our product, which we think of as a mashup of weight loss competitions and fantasy football! At it's core, Competish is an exercise in behavioral economics - we're trying to figure out the right combination of stimuli to drive your motivation and get you eating better and exercising more!
@arecenello Hi Anthony - thanks for downloading! There are two primary ways of preventing that.
1) whomever creates the group decides who to invite - this means that the folks you are competing against are people you trust.
2) When you weigh in, you take a picture of your feet on the scale. Granted, you can still lie here.
It's not perfect, but we think this eliminates most instances of cheating.
@arecenello It's really not built for that situation - we're really only targeting people and their specific networks. There are plenty of other massively open fitness competitions (e.g., Dietbet) - that's not our model!
