Why I find new dashboard EXERCISE portion useless

The new dashboard has streamlined the exercise section to eliminate all saved custom user input exercises! I’ve noticed that exercises I took the time to research and input into the system, as well as all the traditional basic lists of exercises that my fitness pal had listed are gone! I cannot find anything if I go to the exercise section to log my own workout. The only way to log any exercise is to do one of the MYFITNESSPAL workouts , only then am I able to have any exercise logged. That does not fit my needs as I suffer from severe back problems. My custom exercises kept on record at MFP were important to me and had been researched and values were set by physical therapy professionals.

    I'm wondering if what you're experiencing is a bug.

    In web browser MFP, I see that the add-exercise page has been simplified, but all my custom exercises are still there . . . at least all the ones I remember adding. The add-exercise function in the Android app doesn't seem to have changed, at least not yet.

    If it is a bug, contacting MFP support through the Help function would be the route to go, or emailing them at support@myfitnesspal.com .

    MFP staff don't normally read this part of the Community, so you won't get an answer from them here.

    Here, you're talking to other MFP users like yourself. I think all we can do is say "yes, I see that problem, too" or "no, I don't see that problem myself".

    I still have the custom exercises available too.
    What device are you using?

    If you continue to have a problem, you can raise a technology support ticket with MFP.
