    I have been an MFP member since 2011!!! I have used it to lose over 60 pounds and have been an active user on and off again throughout the years. I was VERY upset when you guys took away the barcode scanner and gave it to premium users only. I have stuck around and continued my health journey due to my friends and connections I have made on the community forms. I don't share my fitness journey on other social media platforms!! Why would you take away one of the helpful tools from this app?

    I've been here over a decade. One of my fave parts is talking to my friends about new lifting programs, or changes to diet or health issues. I like asking for advice and I like sharing accomplishments. On the Newsfeed! To not see it, feels like my friends have been taken away. I loved cheering them on, their achievements, their workouts. Very frustrating!

    @resiaks come over to lose it. Has the social features mfp is abandoning. Good food database. Take some getting used to but at least 50 plus of my friends migrated over and many made instagram accounts too for fitness

    @cupcakegirl81 check out Lose it. Web version is easy to get around plus there’s a newsfeed. App is good too, but a little harder to find things
    Web for connecting, App for logging food and exercise

    Has anyone looked over MyNetDiary app? It seems to let you find friends and has a newsfeed!! Can sync other apps to it for steps too! It has great reviews, even the most recent ones.

    It is very sad that MFP will not do anything, everybody is going to other groups to get away from MFP.

    My newsfeed officially disappeared yesterday, on my 4855th day of logging in 😔 It is so sad, and looks weird not to see my friend's posts and being able to comment with words of encouragement and support!
    LoseIt is where I've transitioned to, if anyone wants to look me up. It is an adjustment, and is going to be a learning experience but I think I'm going to like it! 👍

    Mine disappeared from the webpage a couple of days back. I turned off auto update on my app, as it was still on my Android. I haven't checked if it is still working on the phone or not. I am still unhappy, and I am still looking for options. Sadly, a newfeed/friend sort of function seems to be fairly unique to MFP. LoseIt has some social interaction, but I don't like their logging interface. Cronometer, I like for logging and for its extensive integration of my FitBit's data, but it looks to have zero social aspect.

    I knowwwww !! It surprised me, that it felt so empty.

    I update my Android app, and then the web version simultaneously removed newsfeed.

    When did they take away the barcode scanner from non-Premium users? I still have it.
