    Also, forgot to mention that the scanner is on the FREE version of the app - so look at MyNetDiary. It’s one of the top reviewed Apps of 2024. Again, can connect fitbits and garmins and has a friends section and has a newsfeed. Also has a dietician on hand to answer questions.

    I'm going to check this one out, thank you!

    Well, it finally happened. My News Feed has gone. 😭 I ditched 50lbs over the years here and the removal of this feature is my biggest loss to date.

    I have been having a look around MyNetDiary, thanks to @daria0919's recommendation, and their community section seems pretty intuitive.

    I turned off auto update on my app, as it was still on my Android. I haven't checked if it is still working on the phone or not.

    I update my Android app, and then the web version simultaneously removed newsfeed.

    I still have the newfeed button on my Android, and it still seems to be getting updates. Of course, many of the posts about people's activity are probably things they can't see since they don't have the newfeed any more.

    It is so dumb that they got rid of the best feature of the app. knowing you are not alone was what drew me to start using it. @Ellevated Dozens of my mfp pals have migrated over to Lose it.

    Not that it really matters, but for completeness my newsfeed was killed on my Android App with upgrading to "MFP Version 24.22.0" dated May 30, 2024.

    Has anyone looked over MyNetDiary app? It seems to let you find friends and has a newsfeed!! Can sync other apps to it for steps too! It has great reviews, even the most recent ones.

    Oh hey, this is promising. The social aspect seems way better than loseit. Also better for me in general as I plan a week in advance, and loseit doesn't let you do that without a subscription.

    The recipe creator is where a lot of these guys falter, which is sad as there are great ones readily available online that are as good as MFPs in-built one.

    If anybody wants to try MyNetDiary, I just made a group there similar to the one on loseit for people migrating away from MyFitnessPal.

    Yes, I heard about that, thanks. The name puts me off though. I don't think I'm their target audience.

Their newsfeed functionality is actually better than myfitnesspals at first glance. I've just been playing with it today, but the main issue for me seems to be the recipe creator, otherwise everything is more sleek and quite a bit less buggy. The news feeds actually more functional than the one here ever was.

    I didn't realize what happened, I kept trying different browsers. That was the only reason I've stayed so many years. Bummer, I guess I'll look elsewhere after talking to the pals i kept in touch with.

    Came in to search why my feed looked so strange now I see losing the profile went ahead ... considering it's 13th June has anyone found an alternative they like? Been with MFP since 2009 but this is a joke and a huge disappointment 👀

    It is a horrible decision to remove the news feed. Fitness with PALS is so much more productive than ALONE.

    👋 Hi, popping in to say I'm seeing your tags and discussions and doing my best to read all of your feedback and pass it along.

    It may take me some time to respond to questions, but just know that I am seeing them and trying to find or think of solutions for the things that I can control.

    @Betty - I bet this app will lose a lot of money because people will not renew their PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTIONS!! Having the privacy and friendships in the NEWSFEED is an extremely unique and important part of MyFitnessPal. I for one will be one of those that will not renew premium if a GREAT solution is not found for keeping the newsfeed or its equivalent for us to keep our privacy and our friends!

    Since you say you’re STAFF you surely must have some means of stressing the importance of keeping the newsfeed to the developers. PLEASE HELP US!! - thanks!!

    I absolutely regret renewing my premium for a whole year just before finding this out about the news feed.

    When I came back this time I was hoping to curate a new news feed with active friends that can help keep me on track. wow. talk about a letdown.

    shame on you MFP.
