Friend Challenges Floors

[DSims3]

Let's take challenges to a new level. We should have the ability to challenge friends or groups of friends to other metrics besides step count. Since Fitbit privacy settings default to share Steps, Distance and Floors with friends, the latter two could be the easiest challenges to add today.

(Practical use: for friends who regularly incorporate stair sets into their workout routines, why not challenge a friend to see who can do more floors over a 24 hour or week long period?)

Calories and Sleep would not work since most users have these stats private by default. There would have to be a notification popup where the user could select to share this data for the challenge prompting them to accept. Save this for a future release...

Distance and Floor challenges should easily be introduced for Challenges 2.0.

Thank you!
