Why are the challenges I start starting with thousands of steps ?

I have started two challenges, the first one started with 19,000+ steps and the second one started.with 26,000+ steps, instead of starting at zero.

Why is this please and how do I make a challenge start with zero steps please ?

Are you referring to the Weekly Step Challenge? And you would like a challenge of zero steps? That's not really a challenge, on my mind. If you make zero steps in a week, you are probably dead. Makes no sense to me. The purpose of a challenge is to motivate you to make a challenging number of steps, and the level of the Step Challenge is driven by the number of steps you did in the last week.

Hi, no, I would like to challenge.my friends to see who does the most.in say a week. When I start the challenge, it appears I've done upward of 19k steps before I have even started. Which seems unfair in my head.

Verify whether you really selected the right starting date. If there are already 19k steps today, then the challenge probably has the starting date yesterday (or even earlier). If you create a challenge with the start in the past, the steps already done, are included, of course. You can use the Custom type, if you want to have more control over the start and end dates.
