    I was shocked to hear why all of the sudden my newsfeed is gone on the app.

    The newsfeed I looked forward to viewing a couple times a day.

    Hopefully they lose thousands of members to other apps such as lose it.

    I been a member since 2016, joined lose it this evening. I am hoping I can make it work. So I can delete my account with mfp

    Loseit isnt as fully featured, but its crazy how much more buttery smooth it is. MFP is an incredibly buggy app all things considered.

    What are they even spending the money on here?

    Someone else mentioned “Fat Secret”
    How similar is it to MFP?

    You really should have kept the newsfeed...many people have switched over to LoseIt and have paid, myself included. I probably would have done a premium membership with Mfp had you kept the Newsfeed. Oh well...you chose not to listen to many of us and honestly have just destroyed was was a pretty decent app

    I will be leaving soon. Looking for a program that can be run on a PC. Any suggestions?
    Without the newsfeed, all there are is ads that I have no interest in. Thanks MFP, enjoy your oblivion

    I like that idea myself for counting calories. I might just create a spreadsheet for this. I started that project a while ago, in fact, but need to revisit it. It would be great to find a software program for the PC that is compatible with different OS. But, in lieu of that, a spreadsheet would work. I knew someone who once did it the old-fashioned way with a pen and paper and lost weight.

    Try Loseit...it's very much like MFP...try it on your computer first until you get accustomed to it

    Does LoseIt have a newsfeed?

    Yes it does

    I am not seeing it on the app.
    Do I need to use the website?

    I found groups there.. do I need to have some friends before I can see them on a newsfeed?

    @MargaretYakoda - yep, once you add some friends, you or they can write on each other’ newsfeeds on Lose it.

    First Fitbit takes away challenges (I don't use Fitbit anymore) and now this. We can complain all we want - they won't change it. Fitbit didn't roll back and there were thousands of complaints when I last checked. This won't either. Especially if it is the free users who are complaining.

    @Kimberly_Harper I too stopped using Fitbit because they took away the challenges!! Even the challenges that were just for myself that were long hikes were fun!
    I turned off the app update on my iPhone hoping the newsfeed lasts a bit longer. Some of my friends turned off their update as well. Will see how long the Newsfeed “stand off” lasts.
