    Really wondering what the point of having "friends" on here is for if they:
    a) cannot see or support your progress / work (no news feed)
    b) don't link to the community forums in any way (not like there is a filter on here to see your friends posts)
    c) can't even see their diaries or activity logs

    With the newsfeeds gone... where is the Pal aspect of MFP besides random forum activity?

    I agree. I’m not sure if “friends” on here actually does anything different at all. Does it? I was never even sure if that part was staying. I should probably read Sister Betty’s posts more carefully.

    I didn’t think I would miss the newsfeed much, but I actually miss it a lot.

    There were times when I was able to support people, or was seeking support, in a way that just doesn’t work as well here on the community forum.

    And some of the people who I was supporting now haven’t logged in for days….

    I DO NOT LIKE that they took away the news feeds. That was how I interacted and got support from my friends. I am seriously thinking about leaving MFP because of these changes.

    Yeah. I agree. I get it’s probably useless to keep saying it. But enough of us are bummed. I use the forums for mostly silly or fun stuff. And my wall for actual health and fitness and weight loss.

    And I see people still friend requesting/adding friends. And like @KickassAmazon76 I’m unclear if “friends” on mfp actually means anything. Messaging maybe? I’m not sure.

    Feels like MFP forums have become an advertisement for the Lose It! app! haha.

    Sorry MFP... kind of did it to yourself. Pretty soon they'll make "Lose It!" a swear word and it'll get replaced with "kitten" every time someone types it! HAHAHA

    Yes!!! I agree. Everyone is talking about the Lose it app. I'm sure they have gained many members since the newsfeed announcement was made. Personally, I have zero interest in joining another fitness app just to socialize. I think at this point I'm okay with seeing this ship sink.

    I discovered that LoseIt doesn’t have any option to post pics anywhere. Which is a definite minus.

    well, you can post links to pics from IG / Google photos / etc. The links work on the browser version. So much like I used a hybrid combo to use MFP, I'll do the same for LI!

    I joined the premium fitness pal yesterday. My screen looks the same as it did yesterday. How do I know if I am getting the premium program?

    I paid for premium for a decade,
    cancelled it when they eliminated the newsfeed and profile pages.
    Imo, no longer worth paying.
    Now, it’s like all the rest of the fitness apps, nothing special.

    My coworker has covid and I just finished 1/2 a bag of quest loaded taco chips and now I'm sad thinking how I wouldn't be able to taste the deliciousness of the chips if I had covid too.

    Also, my boss keeps telling me we have to discuss and client but I have no idea why since I did my usual part so I'm really curious what else I have to do and he's putting out talk off and it's driving me crazy!

    (Plus, knowing him, he'll wait until it's 5 mins before I leave for the day.)

    Took half of today and tomorrow off . We have family coming into town tomorrow.

    Didn't get my workout in for the day but ran around doing a ton of housework and was definitely working up a sweat. its atleast something. I Just ran out of juice to do a work out by the end of the day today. I need about 6 more hours in my day to get everything done I need to.

    I ordered a smart watch (and not an apple watch , just couldn't bring myself to pay the money they want for one) and I am looking forward to not only having a watch again but being more aware of my activities throughout the day.

    Should be an interesting day today....heading to the children's hospital for x-rays for my son's crooked back. Hopefully we're not waiting there all day but we shall see

    Took longer to drive there than we were in the hospital. How can the biggest children's hospital in the country run more efficiently than every other hospital in the province???!

    The pedantic wee or!ck of a man sat beside me on the train down south seems to think he’s the only person on the train to reserve a seat .. or maybe he thinks he’s better than moi 😡
    So tempted to introduce him to my Facebook live and plonk myself on his lap 😂

    whew. will be glad when the out of town family leaves tomorrow. I thought I was doing ok in the food department but tonight I feel pretty bloated . Too many calories today. about 600 over my target. Getting up early and doing my workout before work ...terrified to get back on the scale because I haven't weighed all weekend. My last scale was finally below 200 which was a big deal for me and now its disappointing because I know I will be back up over the 200 tomorrow
