Yes!! It won't be fixed1 -
I joined Lose It! today. Definitely a little different than MFP and going to need to figure out how to navigate it better. I can't adjust calories for manually added workouts. I can however change the "intensity level" until it more closely matches my Garmin stats. Thankfully it does integrate with Garmin, GoogleFit, Apple, etc.
The only way to find other users you know appears to be through email address, and from what I can tell, there's is a 7 day free trial, but no free version. However, it's a lot cheaper than MFP. Only about 1/3 of the price at $39/year.
So far I haven't found a way to interact with friends either. I can't even like their updates.3 -
I am like most everyone else. I'm bothered by the soon to be removed news feed. I took started a lose it account. Uniquely I did it some time ago and socially it was hard to figure out. Due to the current situation I fought with it. I even made an MFP EXODUS GROUP there.8

It's "fair", not "fare". And they always had a newsfeed. The original creators were talented programmers that knew what they were doing. I was fortunate to be a member then.
Plus, they had a ton of other fun features in the early days that were stripped away by corporate acquisitions.
Jeeeeezus don’t start correcting my predict text on my phone or it will take the preverbial pee and start using big words most don’t understand 😁
Yea whatever.. it didn’t 12 years ago and I must be a talented programmer too then because I built and designed ones like this over 20years ago..1 -

I'm at Loseit too!! I paid $15 for the year in Toronto. Depending on your friends settings will determine if you can comment. Just play around with it with them That's what I'm doing 😁😁 Good luck on your fitness journey at Loseit2 -
Please save the newsfeed!!! It’s literally the only reason I use MFP!3

Please keep this amazing feature on MFP. It helps me feel connected to other users.

Been trying Lose It this week, and it sorta sucks. I wish MFP would just keep the newsfeed instead.3

I don't understand how they can say people don't use it. I know it's the first place I go when I open the app. It's the only place I have a chance of seeing my updated step count and remaining calories. I've seen people ask if they can get the app to default to it. How about they get rid of that useless and buggy dashboard instead?6

It is now gone from the mobile app. We mean nothing more then a payday to them6

SAVE THE NEWSFEED
MFP has been an integral part of my lifestyle mod/weight loss journey. Knowing that my accountability partner and my trainer were getting updates via the NEWSFEED inspired me to be consistent. I will definitely NOT be renewing my premium membership!3 -

Imagine my shock reading that MFP will be taking away the newsfeed.
WHY?? It doesn't make sense. The newsfeed is the easiest way to keep up with all our PALS!! Going to community and trying to catch up with friends there takes alot of time...time that alot of us don't have. Some of us have only a few minutes each day...with the newsfeed we use that precious time to catch up with our "PALS" you can't do that at the community.
Having the newsfeed is what makes MFP uniquely different than all the other fitness apps we could use and what keeps most of us here.
I can't speak for everyone here but my MFP friends have helped me through some of the toughest, happiest, greatest, times of my life. They have picked me up from the lowest of lows, held my hand through stressful periods of life and shouted from the rooftops celebrating my victories!!
The fitness journey is much more than just workout and diaries. It's living life to the fullest and my friends here have supported me every step of the way!! Taking away the newsfeed would take this relationship away from all of us. These people were connections I met here years ago that I now call family!! We have created friendships that run deeper than just support for our health journey. Don't take this connection away from us!!
I appreciate that you are looking for ways to improve MFP but taking the newsfeed away does not achieve this!!
I hope you listen to all the members that don't want to lose the newsfeed...I know if it's gone I'll be taking my premium membership elsewhere

Absolutely!!!!!! 😁😁😁7 -

I’m getting used to Lose It! And growing my community there. I’m liking it more all the time. Stick with it!

As a 5 year member of MFP, I reengaged earlier this year as new health and fitness goals emerged.
It’s only because I found 3 supportive community members that I have been hitting my goals. These 3 strangers helped me be accountable, they supported me and motivated me through their own achievements. Hopefully, I did the same for them.
To say that I am disappointed would be an understatement as I’m just beginning a lifelong lifestyle plan and having a small community with similar goals was key for me.
Sharing in a large forum isn’t my comfort zone and I’m not sure that I will post personal info here because engaging with a large group isn’t what motivates me.
From the day that I first engaged in the community pages, I felt that it was clunky and impersonal.7 -

I'm with michaela here. It took some getting used to but after sticking with it I'm happy at Lose It. Watching MFP's newsfeed get a little less stable everyday makes me realize I've made the right decision. I think if we stick with it we'll eventually be happy at Lose It. Personally I'm getting there anyway and I'm not overly fond of change

I have been on MFP for 12-14 years. The newsfeed is the best feature. But, like a lot of people I have moved over to Lose It. And yes, it takes some getting used to. But I'm choosing to look at it like its a new beginning...a restart! Sorry to lose MFP but no newsfeed, and I'm gone.8 -
Well, my app store is telling me it's time for an update. 😩😭
What an incredibly sad day.4 -

It won’t matter if you don’t update, eventually none of your friends will be able to post to the newsfeed anyway. See you on Lose It!5 -
Just save the newsfeed, folks.4
