Hi, can you friend me? I'm trying to figure out how this works. This doesn't look like it could possibly be as fun. Did they go to Facebook as a group? I can't get into the old site to figure out where to get in touch with everybody. :-) I remember you at least. Thanks for any help you can give me. Amyt58

I have been unable to figure that out as well! I will accept friend requests but have tried and just. Can't figure out how to add friends. If you figure it out, let me know!

Hello! You just need add yourself to the cc group then click on anyone's name it should bring you to another screen you can add as friend they will get a friend request!

Hi guys just saying I'm very late to the party regarding the whole CC shutdown - I tried to log in to the website a day or two ago and was shocked to discover it had all disappeared. I have years of my life in data all archived somewhere on that site and it's a pity I'll never be able to look back at that stuff; it was a diary of sorts, and tracked the peaks and troughs at various stages of my life. Anyway, I think the username I had on there was ChiaraCaligari. The name I've used here on MFP is waspy_vegan, but yeah. I'll try find and follow people from the old community.

It will take some work figuring out though! Thanks to those who set this whole thing up on MFP.

(Btw tried to screengrab my old pic from the phone app and used that as a profile pic to make me more recognizeable here to other CC refugees as I don't have those old pics on my new desktop - like I said, I started using CC many years ago!)

Did you all get this notice - I just feel like its another kick in the gut after losing CC:

We are writing because we have identified you as a member of one or more groups on our platform, MapMyFitness. We are thrilled you’ve been using our platform to foster a strong community among fellow fitness lovers.

You may have noticed that the ability to invite new members to a group or to create a new group is no longer available. We’ve recently taken stock of our features and determined that Groups, in its current form, was not performing up to our standards. As such, we will be removing this feature from our website entirely on April 15th. This means that your current group(s) will no longer be accessible after April 15, 2017.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but hope that we can breathe new life into Groups and reintroduce it at some point. In the meantime, please explore Friend Challenges for Android and Friend Challenges for iOS, which offer a similar experience.

Friend Challenges let you share in a big part of what made Groups great. We hope this encourages you to continue competing and connecting with others on MapMyFitness.

Oh no! This sucks! I'm currently doing a few courses studying programming and I've *always* wanted to design a good app that was like Calorie Count but better (CC wasn't always the easiest to use, logging foods could be a bit slow). I think Cronometer is probably the best for actually tracking nutrition and adding stuff is pretty easy. But it lacks the community element. MFP seems okay, but not the best. Some limited functionality - I'm mainly on here because I kind of miss the community element. But this news makes me even more inspired to think about designing a good app again. Clearly there is a gap in the 'market' for such a thing.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Hi guys. Long time no see. I have not had the good success that I enjoyed back when I was using a tracking program (CC) and chatting with the community. I shall endeavor to use this one more regularly. Hope everyone has been well along with the cats, horses, pigs, and Alaskan fish.
