Am New looking for support please can I be friends with you

Hi @amy1jonaimie3604 Welcome back to MFP.

MFP killed the “friends” function back in June when they eliminated the much-loved friends newsfeed. The only purpose having a friend now does is it permits you to send private messages to friends who’ve accepted you, and tbh, friend request are so few and far between these days, they’re mostly from romance or bitcoin type scammers.

Your best bet right now is to go to the “Challenges” board, search for a challenge that has similar goals to you, and join it. Be sure to bookmark it so you’re alerted to any new posts. You’ll have a constant stream of posts and support.

Bookmark as shown here and then click your photo icon each time you visit the Community to see if there are any new posts to threads you’ve bookmarked.




For example, I joined a 100-Day challenge that had a lot of seniors on it, so goals, day to day, etc jibes with me as well.

I’ve tried “groups” but they are utterly dead.

Also, getting involved here in the boards is a great way to get support and “meet” other users. Ask anything you want. No question is too dumb. I’ve asked some doozies in my time here. But for every question you ask, there’s 100 other people too embarrassed or scared to ask.

Hi Amy

I haven't been active on MFP for awhile and now I'm back. Apparently there have been changes. I'm a senior (80yrs old) still in pretty good shape...mostly. I want to loose my belly and look better in clothes. Tracking my food in the past has always been very helpful. So what support is there now? I'm ok if I need to do this alone but it's always more fun to have others to share with
