Why are they taking the newsfeed away?

What’s even more maddening is as I read through so many great comments and outrage to the newsfeed stoppage where subscribers were communicating with family members over many years like myself. I also noted that MFP mogels claim that the newsfeed was not used very much. That is a flat out LIE! I believe the newsfeed was taking up too much disk space and this is a cost saving and tech salvation issue as they are loading up more and more realtime interactions within the diary space of comments and reactions to diary entries. In my experience as a professional health care provider their comments inserted into diary entries are elementary, inaccurate and a nuisance. .

You can turn off their 'insights' in the diary settings

Wow what a shame. There is zero point in having MFP friends anymore, or being encouraged by MFP friends encouraging you. They say it is because no one is using it anymore, but if they hadn't made it more difficult to see your feed in the first place (when they changed the layout) it would get used way more. I'm going to check out this other app people are talking about. If I can still log my food reliably there, I'm saying goodbye to MFP too, after NINE YEARS.

I just logged in today and couldn’t find the Newsfeed 🤯😱😤🤬 This is horrendous. I love the newsfeed. It’s literally what motivated me to literally log in. Might as well cancel my subscription now as I’m no longer going to be motivated to log in.

Are you guys just waking up? We have all transitioned to Lose It

Kimberly_Harper · June 7

@NormInv well no one mentioned it in my feed I can't see anymore (on my phone - I can see the one on my PC for now) and I didn't think to check the community until today lol. Will go check out Lose It now...thanks for the suggestion.

The newsfeed and being able to interact with friends was the only good thing about this app

Why are you guys taking the news feed away? I like the news feed when it posts how much weight I've lost and when I've done exercise and completed my food diary. I loved mfp the way it was. Why can't you just put it back the way it was with the news feed and how much weight lost on the homepage?

jerseygene · June 9

I completely agree 👍 put it back.

TattooedMommy427 · June 9

I agree

You need to put the newsfeed back regardless of you saying supposedly it didn’t get utilized that much. I find it very hard to believe a lot of us have utilized that with our friend to keep in touch to motivate. That was one of the features that I really enjoyed with my fitness pal and now you’ve taken that away, that was other things that you’ve taken away or made them to be chargeable if you still want to use them what is happening with this app?

I can’t see if someone responds if I log in or my friends mentions any things help

The powers that be at MFP took away the news feed

akm107 · June 10

I am so sad to not see even my little losses recorded on my newsfeed. Its like it goes off into the abyss, no celebration of even tiny losses.

This makes me so sad!

The exodus from MFP is about to begin. You reap what you sow, MFP.

LynnBirchfield · June 11

Until today, I could still see my newsfeed through the website, not app. Today neither.

Pir8au · June 11

After the update on the android app, .I can't see how my friends are doing. Like if the did an exercise, or lost weight, and daily streaks. It's was a way to praise the and encourage them. Please tell me where to find that page again. If it was removed please bring it back

Thank you

Lietchi · June 11

It was removed.

sue_01 · June 11

I have logged in for 10 years, my news feed is gone today. I still have newsfeed from the very beginning when I first started to loss my weight. Now all my friends are gone, will never be the same.
