a n = 12,449 ready-made goals were set in total; n = 12,449 was the denominator used to calculate all percentages in this column

b n = 6,560 users in total had set ready-made goals; n = 6,560 was the denominator used to calculate all percentages in this column

cBecause the My Goals Tracker was only available to track goals at the start of the next week for ready-made goals, only goals that were active for ≥7 days were included as part of the denominator for the percentage of all goals tracked from the specified goal category
