Customizable Challenges (like start date, duration etc)

[Cheddarbill]

I would like to be able to set which days I want for a challenge. Not all of my friends work a workweek (Mon-Fri). I would like to be able to make a challenge thats like Thurs-Sun or Mon-Wed-Fri. Or whatever days my friends work during that week. Choose teams and partners.

I am a teacher at a school and many teachers are getting fitbit. We would all love to be in a challenge together but since only 10 can be in at a time that is not possible. PLEASE allow more than 10 people in a challenge. 

[Lizstang]

I have noticed numberous requests for the same thing here. My husband was using another fitness program, when he saw that we could do challenges with others he decided to switch to a fitbit HR. But there are so many people in our group of friends he hasn't been able to join some of the challenges because of the limit of only 10 people in a group. So then we try to add another challenge so he can be in the same as mine, but I cannot make another group because I am already in 5 challenges. I think it would be great if we could have more then 5 challenges and more then 10 in a group.  I love fit bit, but dislike the limits.

[River16]

Please please please let more than 10 in a challenge !!!!

Moderator please hear our pleading for more challenges. I hear it everyday. You see it on the msg board. People want the challenges these little things offer. Help us please.

I have a few friends with various Fitbit devices and we would LOVE to see more variation in the daily/weekly challenges other than just step goals. 

Eg, most floors in a day/week,   most distance covered in a day/week etc meaning you have to actually get out and walk/run instead of having friends who have treadmills who can walk at home whilst watching tv, talking on the phone etc while racking up their steps.

This may have aleady been suggested, i dont have the time to read through ALL the posts.

Yes, PLEASE remove the challenge limitations!

First, the 5-challenge limit: it's so aggravating when you can't accept a challenge from a friend because you're already in 5, especially when some of the challenges on your list are already completed but you have to wait until they're cleared. Most of the time by then, the challenge(s) that you were invited to are already filled.

That leads me to the 10-challenger-limit: restricting the number of challengers increases the need to create more challenges because not all of your friends can join in the same one.

Please remove both of these limitations.

10 is not enough.

[Knonsense]

I agree. I have more than 10 family members and friends. Seems like a simple fix. It should be unlimited!!!!!!

[schiss152]

yes, we need more challenges with a wider variety of challenge types!

[schiss152]

I don't know if anyone suggested that should be able to create our own challenges as a custom challenge. That would be awesome! 🙂

[TCoggz77]

I would love the ability to create a challenge for something other than steps. 

[beadwitched]

I am competing with my sisters and our daughters and want to set up our own challenges and having a blast with the step challenges. We want to take it up a notch.  We'd really like to start getting healthier with food in addition to the core exercise challenges.  Is there a way to set up a challenge such as "most vegetables eaten in a week", "most hydrated", "Biggest Snacker Slacker Award of the Week", etc.  Vicki

[Cricket010]

10 is not enough. Have multiples going now with some of the same people to be able to include some that couldn't get in. It's kind of getting more frustrating instead of encouraging.

[Dnbaugh]

you can add more people once the challenge is setup

go into the challenge look for the dots in the upper right corner and one option is to add more people..

[Knonsense]

No the max is 10 people on each challenge.

[Cyn2983]

I would love to see an active min challange. I love the step challanges and do them weekly with friends but some of us have 10,000 goal and some have 15,000 goal so makes it hare to determine who is workign out and who is just normal activity so we thought an active min challange would be nice.

[CillaStar]

Any update on this? It's unfortunate when you get a lot of your friends and family on a health quick and not all of us can be added to a challenge for motivation. Please let us have more than 10!!!!! You already limit us to only 5 challenges, and only 10 per challenge. What if we know more than 50 people with FitBits? Come on!! =[

[CillaStar]

Oops mean health kick**

[jsayers1]

I have had a moderator comment once or twice so they know our concerns. They said this was the way to get it changed. To post and make comments and they would watch the comments. So people please respond.

I'm not sure. I think they are arrogant, and have not listened to what their customers want. I use matchup.io - it's much better than Fitbit.

Have you checked the page? This has been posted numerous times, that is a simple answer the moderators give, just to make it sound like they care. They don't, they are getting the money from us already.

I would like to see things like gym challenges were you could be exercising at the same time and for the same amount of time and whoever does the most of whatever in the set time wins with simple badges (i.e. gold, silver, bronze, etc.) and these would stack to show how many you have one.

[nguyenpink]

More than 10 people per challenge would be great especially when I have gotten the majority of the my co-workers to go out and get a fitbit.  Please increse the number of people allowed on a challenged.  And more than 5 challenges would also be great.  Thank you in advance

[Leala]

I'm desperately trying to get Fitbit to change the restrictions, but they are not being very cooperative at all. I even went beyond this community forum to Fitbit help, but basically got a message referring me back to the forum. I'll try to copy/paste my so-called "resolution"...
