Hello All, I have a friend who is able to post screenshots, etc. on his MFP news feed. I have not found an option to do this. All I have found is posting before and after photos on your weight journey. Any ideas?

Also, feel free to add me as a friend. I have kept my friends list relatively small, but I do enjoy reading how people are doing and seeing them reach their goals. :) Just please post here if you add me, I've been getting a lot of bot accounts lately.

    you have to do it through the phone app, you can't do it from the web version.

    click on add status, add progress photo (it doesnt actually have to be a progress photo lol), upload photo (do not add any caption or writing until AFTER you have uploaded the photo, it will not 'stick'), you can select a new 'frame' by swiping.

    its not hard but isn't terribly intuitive, either. but once you get the hang of it, its pretty easy.

    you are welcome to add me if you want. i dont post much about diet and weight loss (ive lost 192+ pounds) though sometimes i will. i post a lot about my life, usually with a humorous spin. a lot about my life and dogs and farm. im not the friend for everyone and i know that (and thats okay) but the friends i have are an AWESOME bunch of people, many ive had for years. So, you are welcome to board the crazy train and if you do, and nose around and decide I am not your cup of tea, no harm no foul if you decide to disembark ;) hmmmm what else... I swear a lot. Am pretty far left (but tend to avoid politics). i dont click like on automatic posts (I have all mine disabled so mine dont post anyway) but if you actually WRITE something, as long as i see it, i usually have a comment about most things, pretty much guaranteed ill never look at your food diary unless you say you're having a problem or have a question, then ill look and try to help.

    Haha, sounds like the friend for me!

    I would also like to post more life stuff, that's why I was curious about posting photos. I'd like to share photos related to me traveling and going on hikes, etc. I feel like Instagram works better for this, but it also makes the MFP news feed a little more interesting. :)

    a lot of my friends post pics from their workouts or hikes or random stuff. it does make it far more interesting. i do wish it were easier to post pics but it is what it is.

    The same goes for me, as callsitlikeiseeit stated: I'm not everyone's cup of tea either! However, I try to be positive and supportive without relying on empty excuses. Accept the mistakes, challenges, or hardships and power thru as you can!! My MFP friends are fairly similar, we post encouraging messages, exercises, and general chit-chat occasionally. Feel free to add me if you are interested!!

    As far as the status pic: it depends on the phone you have for the mobile app. I use an android and the MFP app has an "Add photo" button. As far as images for communities, etc I usually use my computer.

    Best of luck on your journey!!
