Comparing steps vs % of goal with friends

‎06-06-2014 12:10

I now have some Fitbit friends, but some have higher goals than me. If I'm still aiming to get 10K steps a day and they are easily getting 15K or more, then showing me steps doesn't help me.

 

Can the friends view be set to compare percentage of steps completed towards your daily goal? I'd feel more motivated knowing we're both around 80% rather than I'm at 8K and he's at 12K.

 

It would be good to have both steps and %complete, or switch between them.

 

thanks!

My thoughts for what they are worth: Don't compete with friends.  For me, it's about just doing better each day, or each week.  In other words, what keeps me motivated is focusing on my goals and trying to do better each week, whether it's with walking, biking, or weight training.
