Yes!!! Put it back. There’s no place now to see total pounds lost! Why was this removed?!?! Ridiculous. Please add the newsfeed back — or at the very least, add the total pounds lost icon on the home page.

It's still visible via the More menu button in the Android app, and on the homepage of the website.

No, it is no longer there, I am on PC, it doesn't show it at all now, hence me moving over to Lose It.

On LoseIt, it's hard to find your friends since you need their email address. You can't find them by username.

that does make things tricky ,but there are a couple MFP groups over there where you might find some, or make new ones. Just search for 'MFP' and at least 2 should show up. Some people have a new username and pic, plus there are always creepers in any social place, so just be careful who you accept.

And hence the reason for the mass exodus to other apps ….. 2 in particular … hundreds already over there … MFP made a mistake . Istead of fixing all the bots and spam , they just got rid .

Trishcolli · June 27

Pity cause I truly loved this app . Am sad it’s gone too

I had been slipping terribly and would normally lament my actions on the news feed. I miss how easy it was to share recipes and see what everyone was eating and how they made their food. I miss connecting with my group of people and cheering them on. It is what it is, but I wish they would reconsider bringing back the news feed.

That’s hilarious that MFP says newsfeed was a barely used feature. That’s ALL I USED

actionsportsofedmond · June 30

agree 100%.....they have ruined the best and only feature I used....now the site is basically down to individual use....guess they will try to charge a fee now to get it! Shame on MFP for this.

Totally agree, been on since 2013 and this was a key feature. I cannot believe they got rid of it. Terrible choice MFP.

MyFitnessPal does not seem to include feeds from my friends such as how many days they have logged etc. Has MyFitnessPal taken this feature away?

It's gone:

Yes, they removed it. If you can manage to find your friends within the community section, you can post a comment on their profile (assuming it is set to public). But there are no updates there unless they add them. Or you can use your friend list to send them private messages. But that's it. No more private newsfeed for staying in touch and getting updates.

I really miss the feed. It was how I kept up with logging and diaries.

I don't see the live feed after the app updated to the latest version. Usually it's under dashboard.

KareninCanada · July 3

MFP removed it

pnrbor · July 3

Oh no I can't believe they took it away. Guess I will no longer be paying for premium membership.

Hello,
Any ideas why I’m no longer able to see the newsfeed with my friends workouts/diaries? I’m not even seeing mine.
Rebooted and have the latest version updates on phone.

Thank you

I’ve had MyFitnessPal pal for over 5 yrs now and I the newsfeed where I was able to interact with friends is what kept me going on my weightloss journey. Why have friends on here if you can’t interact with them??? BRING BACK THE NEWSFEED! I’m also a premium member. Guess I shall cancel!!!

shondaadale · July 3

Ohhh!! Wow!! Thank you! I didn’t realize that.

I'm not sure how MFP determined that the "news feed is a rarely used feature" - but it is dead wrong. I have found some of my closest friends through the newsfeed and being able to see what they are up to and hold them accountable while they hold me accountable. It is definitely not the same place without the newsfeed. I am going to seriously consider cancelling my premium membership and using other apps to track my calories.

I gather this thread has also become a mutant with the many other threads all merged into it. (to make it a less-visible topic?)

I might get zapped for mentioning this, but I have moved my diet logging to My Net Diary.
The subscription version has a blood glucose tracker integrated into the app. It syncs beautifully with my One Touch Vario Reflect

There’s also a slightly better availability to track various micronutrients. And they have a certified dietitian on staff who has a dedicated chat group where you can ask questions about your diet and calorie intake.

I’m going to continue participating in the forums here for a while longer. But for me, as a disabled diabetic person, MND fits my needs better.

The same for me I can’t get it is well. I’m wondering if it’s because they want us all to go on to the payed version.

I have the paid version and it's gone. I'm not happy

kathymhardy · July 4

I hate that the newsfeed has gone! I liked to see how my friends and family were doing. I liked to see how many days I have been logging, weight loss, etc. it kind of feels lonely now. What’s the point? Shall be looking at other apps now. MFP, you’ve made a huge mistake!!
