    Hey all. I'm a nobody but figured I'd give this a whirl before I leave MFP for the final time. Been here on/off for 10 years (mostly on). MFP was extremely different back then. I've have wild good success and enjoyed interacting with people. Let's see how this goes.

    I could cry about this. While I’m thankful this message board was set up, it will not be the same as the newsfeed. What a disaster! Are there any other apps that do what MFP does/did? The newsfeed is the best part of it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    I know Michael and we just met. You are off to an excellent start too! 💁🏽‍♀️

    Happy Friday! Thanks for setting this up. Nice to see some old friends and meet some new ones. Remember, the only thing constant is change. We adapt, and we’re better for it. Let’s do this!

    It looks like the feed is already gone so not much time to adjust for a lot of my pals. I know a bunch of you have IG and I'm happy to have connected with you on both platforms. I'm spidermark56 on IG leahymark42@gmail.com

    The newsfeed is/was one of the best features of MFP. My MFP crew has been my safe place to talk about my health struggles. I have made so many life long friends. They inspire me and keep me motivated. I've cried when I've lost MFP friends in death. I've been trying overjoyed when inactive friends come back. I'm sad that I may lose my connection with all the awesome people I've met along my journey.

    I'm here, too! This is a little confusing the way they have this laid out LOL maybe it's because it's on my phone. Does anyone know why they're getting rid of the news feed? Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I'm new to the group ❤️

    I feel the same, very sad change.

    Have a great Saturday my old and new friends.

    So glad for this group! To those who are already friends on here, good to see you again.

    To those who don't know me - Hello, my name is Alan, I'm from the UK and I've just turned 50. I have struggled with diverticulitis, back problems and crippling anxiety for years and this place has been my sanctuary. Honestly, this community has been the most supportive I've had the pleasure of meeting.

    My IG is alan_m_74 if anybody wants to add me on there, just reactivated my profile again.

    Hi Alan! Happy Belated Birthday and welcome to the 50's club🤪 I saw your post on Save the Feed- suggesting they change the name to NoFitnessPals and it gave me a good laugh! I know what you mean about mfp being your sanctuary- it's helped me through good and not so great times as well. They don't understand that having our newsfeed and our Pals here are more than weight loss, it's helpful for those who battle anxiety, depression, etc. It's my happy place and for many of us a place where we feel safe and supported. I'll try to add you, I'm thinking we can still add? @dvdbeastmode thanks for starting this group😁

    Just found out what's happening! Thanks @DVDBEASTMODE for setting this up. <3 While I'm definitely going to miss the newsfeed, it will be nice to still be able to connect and encourage each other. Witnessing others progress and struggles (while sharing my own) has always been so inspiring and motivating for me. Adapt and change ....

    Happy Saturday My Fitness Beasts. Let's remember to live in the moment, not in the past. We cannot change yesterday, we can only make the most of today and look with hope toward tomorrow. Everyday we get is a gift because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not a guarantee. So let's make today count, now get out there and DO THE DAMN THING. All we need to give is 1 hour today in complete and utter BEASTMODE to be successful. Now go out there and GET IT. Make TODAY count, let me hear you RRAAWWRR. #MAKE TODAY COUNT.
