News Feed caused ALL my friends to go to Lose It.

I am torn whether to just leave MFP with my over 9 year streak. Most of my long term OG friends have jumped ship to Lose It and now just have ghost accounts on here. I am torn what to do because the biggest part of MFP besides losing 200 lbs is the connection and the news feed with so many people. Many I have met in real life and many have even spilled over to my social media.

What an awful decision by MFP....I feel like I have been gut punched by this app. Sure, I can live with the constant bugs and have over the years....but taking away the news feed was such a terrible idea on so many levels. I am sure MFP can view their metrics and see the mass exodus.

Bring back the NewsFeed - many of us enjoyed the posts from our 'friends' and not having to join many many groups. MFP, I think you've underestimated how many of your users actually read the newsfeed and enjoyed it.

I am new to MF and I like it but DO NOT LIKE how I have to go digging to see replies or find feeds. So from what I’m reading is I find a specific group & join or follow it.

Hey friend! I was already on LoseIt for logging, now MFP lost me… I keep checking in to see if some kind of newsfeed comes back. So sad, I just hit 2000 days here. I think one of the LoseIt groups from here is called MFP Exodus.

@MFP what a mistake you’re making.

Go under your "bell" and look for replies and you can just see the replies you've done and if someone replied back.

I tried loseit and settled on mynetdiary. Considerably more polished and functional. Feel free to join us! Trying to get the group there big and active.

I still don't understand why MFP decided to do away with the newsfeed. So many of us have gotten support or given support to people on the MFP newsfeed. We have formed lasting friendships and cheered each other on, laughed with each other and cried with each other. Its a great loss to a lot of us and IMHO a very foolish decision by mfp.

Might as well do away with the friends feature, too, at this point. Sad times.

MFP still has the advantage of a better database and the ability to add recipes, but that's it.

BRING BACK THE NEWSFEED! It the only reason I recommended friends to this app, so I could "like" their progress and workouts and now you took that away 😡
