    I'm having the exact same problem. I use to be able to see other people's progress, how many days in a row the logged in. That's how I added friend. Now I feel it's just me. Lol

    You can join communities and share information that way. You don't have to be alone.

    MFP discontinued the newsfeed last June.

    There’s no way to see other folks progress or share your own, short of posting here on the boards.

    “Friends” no longer serve any real purpose, since you have to private message each friend individually, and the, most users aren’t up for that.

    The last 11 friend request I’ve gotten in the past couple weeks have also been newly created scam users. I haven’t added a friend in a month of Sundays.

    You can still find your old friends by going to the “friends” header or tab, but again, the only way to communicate with them is via a private message.

    Your best bet is to participate on the boards, sharing your experience with others, posting successes, and asking questions.

    There’s also challenges you can join. Some are quite active.

    Hi- I just joined and was trying to figure out how to add friends. I clicked view profile and add friend icon. Did you get my request? It sounds like mfp used to be nicer with newsfeed and friend requests. I’m just looking for a few people to help me with accountability. Thanks!

    @taubalison3713, I'd strongly encourage you to consider joining one of the accountability or challenge threads/groups here in the Community. That's probably the best route nowadays to get connected with "a few people to help . . . with accountability".

    The possible threads/groups are most concentrated in the "Motivation and Support" or "Challenges" parts of the Community, but there are others in other areas, too. Read some of the intro posts there, which will tell you how to join in, pick one or more that suit you, and join. There are quite a variety of options.
