I currently reside in a Treatment Center where i don't have access to a phone 24/7 (only when my Father comes to visit every 2 months) and the computer does not allow me to put the app on it.  I'm having trouble with a Black screen, still vibrates but won't let me reset.  I also have trouble keeping the time up-to-date when it dies (if i forget to charge).  Any suggestions/help?

Hi @Wolfman1337 unfortunately there is no other option unless you have someone who can come in every few days to let you sync to their smartphone. Why not wait until you're out of the treatment center before using your Fitbit, so it can track all your stats. I'm sorry there is no real way to help you with this, but take care of yourself - your Fitbit will be there when you're ready to continue using it.

The FitBit allows me to track how far i run and how long it took me.  Running and biking are my main thing i like to do, keeps the mind busy and i also like to track them by paper of course to see how well I'm doing with running and changes i would like to make, I learned how to run over the last 2 years by starting by interval running into full - on running.  I've lost 220lbs in the last 6years, i never thought i'd start running in my life, couldn't even run a mile in school, now i can run 7-10miles no problem.  It is nice to keep track.  I'm looking at another year of being here.
