    I don’t know how to add people as friends directly from these messages.
    Please help!

    On desktop...
    Click on the person's username (underneath their profile photo), then click on their username a second time on the next page, THEN click the green "Add as friend" button.

    On my phone (Android)...
    ETA: I gave up after getting "This user's feed is private" for, like, 7 people.

    Take all of the above with a grain of salt because - irony of ironies - I don't typically "friend" on MFP so have zero clue how many iterations there are to do so 🤷🏾‍♀️

    ETA, Part II: Because, much like my fitness journey, I never give up lol. Try this ➡️ How do I invite a current member to be my friend on MyFitnessPal?

  • I am NOT precisely new to this tool as I tried it earlier this year. My doctor recommended me this tool to control my food intake, and she was disappointed by the daily intake suggested by MFP. She stated that it was really high (2460/day). This time, I decided to give it a second try. I realized how informative this application is.

    I created a MFP account all the way back in 2013, used it for a few months and then abandoned it. Then recently just around Thanksgiving (2020) while working with my nutritionist I expressed the desire to start tracking my intake again and my nutritionist answered without hesitation to utilize MFP when I asked for a "good app to track intake with". So, I've been back on here, trying to be good about entering my food each day. I'm a 60 year old female with a lifelong history of being overweight. Over the few years I have lost weight and kept it off (so far). In 2014 I went vegetarian and gained weight and then in 2017 I went vegan and then 2018 I started to dabble with a more WFPB (whole foods, plant based) way of eating and love this way of eating. But I am so much more vegan than WFPB since I still struggle with added sugar and oil intake. But my goal now is keep exploring cutting back my added sugars and see if I can do it :smile:

    Hi Everyone. I used this app in the past (like 15 years ago?) with success, but am struggling to lose weight currently. Having holiday cookies lingering in my house for weeks did not help my situation, but as I go through old photos, I decided that I really need to get to my goal weight. If anyone has any advice on how to curb cravings for sweets, I would appreciate it!

    How do you reply in the same dialog box without creating a new conversation? I can't see how to do that

    Happy New Year.....! Not a complete Newby but a returned after running out of enthusiasm. Clearly a goal is to be healthier and weight loss through better eating, better food tracking and sensible exercise. I fell over last time by not being able to accurately track the calorie intake, especially if you home cook. So here goes..... :|

    Hello to the millions of other folks jumping back on the bandwagon! As a mental health therapist, I prefer the term “goal” over “resolution” because it allows for more grace and flexibility. My long term goal is to lose 150 lbs and my short term goal is to reduce hip and back pain. I look forward to succeeding with you all!

    Hey everyone!! I have used MFP in the past with great results but eventually lost steam. In the past, I wasn’t aware of these discussion boards tho so maybe this will help! I created a brand new account today to start fresh. My goal is to lose 40/50 ish lbs. Looking forward to hopefully adding some friends to help each other stay motivated and on track!
