Green / Red .Dot .Man.  How do I set it up on my Fitbit 

Where   do I find the attachment ?????

It was offered initially, but I deleted it  can I get it back ????

@Lmwooding Hi and Welcome - not sure what you mean - is it the active hours tile you are looking for ? see picture

if the tiles are not there swipe to the bottom of the screen and you should see edit click this all tiles will become small with a plus or minus in the top left of each if it is pink + you need to tap it until it goes black - then click done and it should be back onto the dashboard - the same can be done to all the tiles

did you have it already set up and working before you lost the image?

let us know if this is what you wanted or if I can try and help further

Kind Regards

Wayne

Thanx for your message 👍👍

I tried sending this yesterday with no joy

I originally had the green dot !an time, but deleted it haha, these days I do Fitbit challenges on Facebook and they ask for green Man !!!!
but I can't get it to show now, I tried yet again yesterday and the words it's not an option at the moment appeared haha

So thanx for your help if you can chat to Fitbit personal 👍👍

@Lmwooding ah I see - I don't do anything with Facebook especially with Fitbit so I wouldn't  know - I only know that Facebook has a group site called green man challenge but cannot see any attachment to Fitbit

hope you get it sorted so you get it back

I don't have that much sway with Fitbit im afraid im still chasing 11 issues some of which have been ongoing for over 3 years

if you provide a full description of what you want you can  input a suggestion in the following section Feature Suggestions

the only issue with the feature suggestions is there is no way of know what the criteria is for them to implement anything as they will not tell us some get put though with under 500 votes and other get benched with over 2500 votes so its basically a coin toss if your feature gets added

I have a charge 2 and with all I have heard about the charge 3 I will not be changing any time soon - I only use mine as a guide but it does help with motivation at times

good luck on achieving your goals and hope to see you around the forums

all the best

kind Regards

Hiya Wayne 🙋
Thank you so much for getting in touch I really appreciate your time & efforts

The Facebook challenges are extra motivation, haha,

The main group I'm with is actually called Fitbit Challenges, and Fitbit Families Elite, they are both closed groups

In one sense I didn't want dot man, but it would be easier to comply these days I seem to be the awkward one in the team 😂😂😂😂

I also didn't know there was a green Man challenge site do may look that up 😯😯

I suppose Fitbit Company are really just interested in selling their newer fitbits with all sorts of newer options on them

So you mentioned you have a charge 2, what do you think of it ??, My 19 yr old son was thinking of getting one of those mainly for steps / heart rate

Thanx again

Hi Lynn - the Green man challenge looks quite hard-core here is the logged out link for Facebook but if you google green man challenge a few come up as well as ultra facebook green man challenge

the charge 2 I think is a good device and wish they would keep it as an alternative to the charge 3 - I personally have not had many issues with the device its the software that lets all Fitbit products down at the moment  - the downside to the charge 2 is it is not waterproof and if it rains while you are out for a walk/run needs drying off as soon as you get in - the Heart Rate monitor is not as accurate as it could be but it is good enough as it is not designed for medical use - Sleep can be a little temperamental but I think that's across the range not just the earlier products again I think both will improve in time if they can get there fault maintenance back on track and resolve issues in a timely manner

again as with all products the floors can be mis-represented if the weather is bad or any changes in air pressure and the steps are reasonably accurate

all in all it would be an ideal starter device and I have recommended to a few friends but as you know also they need to fix some of the errors especially log in and mobile dashboard  

Hope that helps a little

Hi 🙋

Thanx for getting straight back to me, thanx for your input on charge 2, will show my son
He thinks getting 10 k+ everyday is easy, 😂😂
He plays Xbox games so he will find out the hard way 😎

I will say my "one" as been brilliant , no complaints at all,
It's 4.5 years old always works , and I don't mind it adding floors especially if I'm doing a floors challenge haha
When I did my 100 k in a day I also had 600 floors wished I'd carried on as the 700 floor badge is only daily badge I ain't got ??!!!??😂😂😂

Do you do challenges on Fitbit ???
Do or did the badges motivate you ??

Hi Ya

no worries and glad it was of some use

10k isn't as easy as it looks so I started at 2.5k but even that was hard on work days as was sat at desk for 12 hours a time - new job now and getting 10k easy but its knackering

I do miles and miles on Skyrim (PS4) but guess your son is a COD player lol

I do the solo adventures as they set my targets but not really into the challenges - tried the goal day one but they never give me the trophies so gave up on them -would like more adventure based ones as the took the NYM (New York Marathon) away form us

yes I found they motivate me but good weather is the best motivation as I don't relish going out in the cold or wet nowadays but I do try on my days off just to keep the steps up

my highest daily's are 20k and 75 floors

if you/your son does get one you can always check the steps are genuine by checking the heart rate as sometimes the steps go up if driving/riding over uneven ground or even tapping your leg so if it shows 6k and you know he's not been out the HR will probably be low - if its a genuine walk it will be slightly higher or moderately higher depending on speed of walk/elevation etc etc - being a bloke I know how we think lol 🙂

Hiya Wayne 

Sorry it's taken me a week to reply, your reply actually didn't come up !!! It just sent an email asking me for a  review 

I agree with the steps, it's sounds so easy until you try and then to get a reasonable amount each day, it does become very tiring to start off with 

My son when on holiday from collehe doesn't get up early and then likes to berate me for "sitting " in the sofa 😂😂

I say to  him, but I've done 15 k or so steps so far today  !!

and I have gone out in the wind and rain if I'm in a particular high end challenge and we are doing a relay 😂😂😂

Looking for things to clean, to get active minutes 🤔 (barmy )

Jogging at 3 am in the living room to try and beat someone in another country I'll never meet 😎

It's really changed my life , I now spend as much time on my tablet as my son,  chatting to people my son told me weren't real !!!, and scrolling through Facebook, 😁😁

How life as changed with the internet 

My son was really pleased you wrote about your thoughts on the Charge 2, and he used to play Skyrim on pc , his favourite game Red dead  redemption, 

I'm of an age where I think there is more to life haha if only by wearing myself out to beat someone 20 years younger than me😂😂

Thanx for your input hope you enjoy your week end  and Happy Easter

Just looked your link up for green Man, !!! I think they are  into "runs"  more so than I am, as I don't have the time or the energy these days 😂😂

thanx for looking them up I will keep my eye on them too 👍👍😎

Take care , Lynn

Hi Lynn

Pity it wasn't what you was after but it was just an idea and wasn't too sure on what you wanted - there are other sites with walking challenges but I think you have to pay for them not seen any free ones yet - you could take a look at walking4fun.com and see if that has anything you may like.

I have managed to beat my PB now im working - cleared 25k in a day and that's a 6 hour day so may be on for a lot more if they keep me on past the 3 months,

jogging on the spot at 3 am hmm sleep would be better lol - I don't use Facebook for anything other then keeping in touch with the family - everyone my be real but there are so many just out to cause nausea and while I am pretty thick skinned I wouldn't open myself up to these trolls by adding friends just because they asked or they are a friend of a friend,

Red Dead I have been looking at still unsure on whether to get - as for age its just a number I am at that age where there should be more to life and probably forgotten more than most so I play the games just to get away from reality for an hour or 3 (my mind tells me im 20 or even 30 years younger but my body reminds me otherwise lol)

Happy Easter to you too - im trying not to eat too much chocolate as I have managed to lose 10lbs since 31st Mar and 4% body Fat so I am hoping to reach my 1st goal by November in a worse case scenario,  beach ready in the best (who am I kidding I will settle for 2 jean sizes by June-July lol)

All the best
