@Cyncia85 if you have an Android you are out of luck. I send them to my PC and upload from there when I have something that I want to share.2 -

Hi,
The only way I can do it on my android mobile is by taking a screenshot of the photo & save it to the clipboard then paste onto the MFP page.Hope this helps 🙂2 -

I have Android - I have to go through the website to upload pictures- so annoying - you would think that would be fixed instead of taking away the Newsfeed😠2 -

@daffygirl88 I do have an Android. I wonder if I could login to MFP from the Chrome app on my phone and upload that way. I'll test it later - using a laptop now and poor internet connection with my cell phone. Thanks for the reply2 -

Hello Shape Shifters. It's getting really hot now, but I did manage to drag myself out for a walk. I was very sad to see they mowed down the 3 big fields. Screw the insects, mice, hedgehogs and roedeer I guess. I don't understand why we can't just let nature be. I did find a cool feather, probably from a sparrowhawk. My food was crap again. I really need to start taking my diet seriously. The heat isn't helping though; no way I am cooking the next few days. Of course that is no excuse. I have plenty of other food options. But really, eating in a deficit needs to be the main priority. It's like I put on the brakes one day and step on the gas the next. That's not going to work. Have a good day everyone

Hi Shape Shifters, you have a new team member joining in July, welcome @lolakinks!2

@Pupowl I understand how you feel about the fields. There is a median in the highway near me and it was full of milkweed and thistle. Just miles and miles of milkweed. And they mowed it down. No wonder the monarch butterflies are endangered.

Hi everyone, I’m new at the group! I’m 34 years old, 104.4 kg (230 lbs), and 164 cm (5’ 4,5”). I have a very sedentary life, since I am a PhD researcher. I work mostly from home. I don’t have a gym routine, sometimes I go 2-3 times a week sometimes I don’t go for weeks. It’s been weeks lately because of sickness I hope I will be back soon.
I’ve been overweight since I was 18 and every year I gained more and more (35-40 kgs since then). In the last 1,5 years I have been between 103-105 kg (227-231 lbs). My ultimate goal weight is 70 kg (154 lbs), but firstly I want to go below 103 kg which I stuck for 1,5 years. Then I hope go below 100 kg (220 lbs) soon.6 -

@PatriceFitnessPal Why in the world, did they wait four days before calling you?! Geesh...especially when it's outside your normal pattern of activity...people are annoying. Hope you get everything cleaned up without too much expense...it's always something, isn't it?!
@pupowl Sounds like just what we'd expect...you have a way of always turning things around to a positive...one of your greatest accomplishments, I'd say! Love the picture of that yellow/orange bird...very pretty. The last picture on Tinus looks like he has the RIGHT idea!!! LOL
@lauriewrobo 6 months...wow...seems like we just HAD Christmas! All of my family is away in other places, so I likely won't do much...and with Betty being so young, I don't want to see what she would do to a Christmas tree...will likely not put one up...but I'll get out and about and enjoy everyone else's decorations...just enjoy a quiet holiday. I'm a planner too...so I totally get it!

I have an android phone as well. The easiest for me is to upload the photo(s) to Google Photos, then while viewing them in Google Photos, right click and select copy image, then paste into my MFP comment. But of course, this requires me using my laptop. ☹️

As an experiment, I selected a photo on my phone, then selected Share on bottom left, then selected create a link. Then I had to copy the link that was created and paste it into this comment. I did that all on my phone, but what a hassle, and it's still just an external link. 🤷♂️1 -

Believe me I'm a simpleton myself when it comes to computers.When looking at the screenshot there should be 3 dots on the righthand corner of the screen.Click on them & the top one says save to clipboard,click on that then open the mfp page & paste by pressing on the page.It sometimes takes a few seconds to paste the link.When you press Post Reply the photo should come up.Dont ask me how to put a photo under the spoiler I still can't manage that lol.🤪2 -

I was right there with you! I figured out that EVERYTHING Community-related (including uploading pictures) is much easier using your phone’s browser. I only use the MFP App to log food. Other than that, use your internet browser, not your google app.(I believe for Android you would use google chrome) it works as the full MFP Website, like literally type in www.myfitnesspal.com it may suggest the app and you’ll decline and continue to the community.
Matter of fact, you can create a “tab” for every Community group you’re involved in here. But honestly, once I did this, I never had to do it again because that tab just sits there open in the background of my phone.
You’ll be able to easily upload pictures. Also I love that if I’m typing something and happen to abandon my phone, what I was typing is still sitting there..
Even hours later!!5 -

Thanks for reminding me of this!(I posted this from the Chrome browser on my phone, and it was quite easy to insert a photo that was on my phone.)
