    Good morning everyone! Started the day off right with a quick workout at 4:30 before work. It's another great day to do great things!

    i wish i were a fitness beast, but i've been rehabbing several body parts and love lifting and resistance training. at almost 67, i've been building muscle and hope to build lots more. a year ago, i got a cable tower, and we recently got a power rack and some fun attachments (we LOVE the lever arms!!!);

    my absolutely favorite bar right now is open trap bar. for those who lift, what is your favorite bar?

    i'm patti, btw, and i am really gonna miss the newsfeed...

    Hi Everyone! I'm sad to see the newsfeed going away, but I'm happy to make new friends! Was it posted why they are taking the Newsfeed away? Perhaps it was posted, and I missed it.

    i don't think the reason was posted, but several users say they talked to people who said they're taking it down because it's so buggy. i don't know if that's the real reason or not, but i'd prefer a buggy newsfeed to no newsfeed...

    Marsha from AR here. It’s only June 3rd and MFP took the Newsfeed down! They said it was going down the END OF JUNE! The MFP GODS can’t be trusted! I didn’t get all my good friend’s contact info and now we’re cut off. I pray that somehow our paths may cross and we can support each other again! I’ve been on MFP for 9.2 years and a Premium member and never saw anything like this happen. It may be time to move on and find a more dependable and trustworthy app.

    my newsfeed is still up, and today's the 4th. but every tie i log in, i think "will it still be there?"

    btw, i've tried a variety of other apps, and so far, for logging, forum, and groups, MFP is still the best. i've tried a couple others in the past week - one is buggier than MFPs, has no forum, each "group" is just a single, long, run-on thread, and it's giving me errors like saying i've been logging since last thursday but also giving me a 0 day streak and continuing to send me emails every freaking time anyone posts on a group. i checked - i am opted out.

    the other one i tried has an awful interface, no groups or something like the newsfeed, and is harder to log on with less options.

    First, I really don’t like this [/quote] thing!

    I’m trying “LoseIt” and keeping both running side by side so I won’t lost my 3366 day (9.2 yrs) streak! The logging part was confusing at first but it offers so much more nutrition analysis. On top of that, it’s FAST! No waiting for the page to come up. That has been the most annoying part of MFP for me… the waiting for the app to catch up to my input! I haven’t tried the messages part yet or figured out how to find my friends. Still experimenting. LoseIt is graded equal to MFP on searches, so I’ll just keep figuring it out. Unfortunately, I will lose my 9.2 yr Streak if I drop MFP, but oh well, I know I did it!

    i find the logging on LoseIt clunky and slower than it is for me on MFP, and for 6 days, it's said i have a 0 day streak. groups are inferior imo to the MFP groups, and while there's sort of a newsfeed, you can't like comments, and it's pretty buggy. some people's weight loss and other stuff automatically shows up on it, but my stuff doesn't. emailed support, have yet to hear back.

    i paid $20 for a year LoseIt membership but the features i was interested in only work on the phone, not my computer, including custom meals (i have the default 3 meals and snacks on my computer even after i changed to 6 custom meals and extras on the app, which means my foods aren't logged in the same meals. also can only log water on the app - i can't log it or even see it on my computer.

    i REALLY wish they'd have just left the MFP newfeed alone!

    I still get newsfeed but still glitchy. Maybe they will keep it and get the glitches cleaned up soon. Fingers Crossed :)
