This Isn't a Diet App

BigDogs is a competitive weight loss challenge you run with friends, coworkers, or anyone brave enough to step on the scale. Set a personal goal, weigh in daily, and let the scoreboard do the talking.

The secret? You're not scored on how much you lose — you're scored on hitting your own pace. Someone losing 1 lb/week at their target beats someone crashing 3 lbs unsustainably. Consistency wins.

How It Works

1

Create or Join

Start a challenge and share your invite code. Friends join in seconds.

2

Set Your Goal

Pick a target weight, weekly pace, or let us suggest one. The app builds your plan with safety rails built in.

3

Weigh In Daily

Step on the scale each morning. A 7-day rolling average smooths the noise so one bad day doesn't tank you.

4

Compete Weekly

Each week, everyone gets scored on how close they hit their target. Placements earn points. Most points at the end wins.

Scoring That Keeps It Fair

Everyone sets their own pace. Your performance factor measures how well you hit your weekly target — not how much you lost in absolute terms. That means someone with 10 lbs to lose competes on equal footing with someone with 50.

On Pace

Hit your weekly target and score high

Under Pace

Fell short this week — lower score, but still earning points

Showdown Weeks

End of each month + final week. Double points. High stakes.
