Weight is the score.
Family is the game.
Vital Rivals is a private weight-loss challenge for your own people. No feeds, no strangers, no shame mechanics — a weekly weigh-in, a kept record, and bragging rights.

Three steps, twelve weeks.
Someone starts a challenge
They pick the length and the stakes, and get a join code. The organizer approves who gets in — nobody arrives uninvited.
You join with your code
Enter your starting weight. Only you decide whether anyone else ever sees a number in pounds — everyone else sees percentages.
You weigh in, weekly
One entry a week, on your own schedule. The standings do the talking for the rest of the season.
Written into the software, not the terms of service.
These are not policies we promise to follow. They are rules the app is built so that nobody — including us — can break.
Your weight is yours alone.
Your actual weight is readable by you and nobody else — not the organizer, not us in practice. Others see progress as a percentage, unless you choose to share more.
A gain is written in the same ink.
No red numbers, no failure states. An up week is a fact on the record, not a verdict. This is the rule the whole design follows.
A missed week stays missed.
The blank line is the record. Nobody can paper over a skipped weigh-in, which is exactly why a full season means something.
Recorded weeks are never rewritten.
Once your family has seen a standing, it is permanent. A blank past week can be filled in late — and it is marked late.
