Quite a few of us left for the same reason. After years of interacting with our friends on the feeds, it was taken away. We've come up with a pretty good alternative. Message me if you'd like to hear about it. ;)

Too hard to support each other now that they killed the news feed. Who has time to read through the group messages AND tag each person to reply to them, all in one post? Nah, MFP isn't good for support anymore. The forums simply aren't enough.

Gee and no one finished it! "Is there anyone at home?"

@vwolcott169 It's free, I don't pay for these sites! If you want premium, it's $60 a year, I think. But for most things you don't need the premium membership. You need it to sync devices... so I have to add my exercise manually now, instead of Fitbit doing it's thing in the background. No biggie, though. It does all the…

Ok, MND. It's a lot easier to log foods there, and it does seem pretty accurate. Pretty, not perfectly. But the social aspect over there is really bad for me. I joined our group over there yesterday, but on the computer app it doesn't even show up, says I have no groups. So right now, I'm logging on MFP, logging on MND,…

Angeandlyon started a group on Facebook. It is super easy to communicate there, almost like our old newsfeed! They're posting pics of meals, themselves, pets, exercises, challenges, food, you name it. And you can reply directly to them instead of tagging everyone. It's not a place for logging, but right now, I have 4…

I have vertigo, with a thumbs up do?

OH, and I also signed up for Lose It. But I don't think I'll even bother to use it, you have to pay to track protein! I'm not paying to track macros! So I don't think that will ever become my home, I haven't paid in the 10 years I've been on this journey, and I don't intend to start paying now that I've reached goal.

Yep, it worked. I'm guessing you were testing? LOL

@momopeach32 Oh, I seriously loved CC's format! You could connect with so many more people and yet it was still personal! Do keep us updated please!!!

News feed is still up on the computer app. @momopeach32 thanks for posting the link, I never though to do that, I've just been posting the name of the group. DOH!

OH, I didn't know there was another CC group! I spent years posting in the forums looking for y'all! Only managed to reconnect because of this group.😊

Check the suggestion thread, we're talking about it there.

Sorry, I had just to reopen this, even if it's YEARS old. Kind of same ol' same ol', isn't it? 😂🤣😂

I'll be sticking it out, but if it gets to be too much, I'll probably move over to Lose It. Quite a few have started accounts there, they DO have a news feed, they have a free and paid service, and let's face it, MFP has the largest food database of all the major apps. They also have the most INACCURATE! So if I can't keep…

Oh, this is going to be so confusing, multiple groups, multiple threads, no one place to go to read them all. But at least we do have a place where we can at least say "hi"! If we don't migrate to a better app, that is. 😉

*waving frantically at Ronnie" YOU MADE IT!!! And yeah, that's the bad part about forums versus news feeds. Each post is either a reply... OR an entirely new post. If we tried to post here the way we do now on the news feed, there will be so many posts we'll never find the ones we want to read. All of our time will be…

My mini goal right now is to try to find a place where all of my friends can still meet up once the news feed dies. I'm on maintenance right now, but would never have reached this point without the help of my friends. Many people work well on their own, but many of us work better with friendly people around. I get new…

It's going to be hard, though, we're going to end up with so many different groups, no way I'll have time to check in on all of them. This is just so sad!

Well, from everything I've read on the forums, with MFP posting to answer questions, as of the end of June the news feed is going to be removed, completely, with no intentions of restarting it. The code is too old to work with their hyper ads, and they don't consider themselves a social site, so us chatting is VERY low on…

I've been here since 2016. I've used other calorie counting apps, and to be honest, they were all more accurate than MFP. But it was the news feed that kept me here. I've lost 72 pounds and maintained my goal weight for a year or more, ALL because of my friends cheering me on. I've already had friends leave for other apps…

I'm only here for one reason. My friends. I can log food on any app, there are many many of them out there. But I use MFP because I love my peeps. Remove the news feed and you've just killed MFP. You're going to lose most of your paying customers, and the free users will have absolutely no reason to stay here. If this is…

The first times I lost weight, I just did it on my own, no recording things, just eating less. But then I sky rocketed, and gained about 70 pounds. And I thought I would again just take care of it on my own. This time, I recorded what I ate in a notebook, kept track of calories... and gained another 15 pounds. That's when…

I'm still here, I'll be 73 in July. And yes, it's harder to lose as you get older, but you DO lose. I've dropped over 70 pounds and I'm in maintenance now, but I still log everything I eat because I don't want to go back to where I was! Just set a plan where your eating less than your burning, stick with it, and you should…

Ok, you don't want to hear this, but I'm 70+ pounds down from my highest weight and I still own every piece of clothing I did when I started this journey back in 2012! And some I still wear. Why wear a nice pair of shorts outside to weed the garden or mow the lawn? I'll just throw on some over sized stuff, which will soak…

You have SO got this! With that attitude the sky is the limit! And that's really all it takes, a good attitude while doing the right thing for YOU! So glad you're already appreciating the pleasures of taking control of your life and making good decisions. I'm one of those that will be logging my food for life. I've reached…

I'll be 73 in July, and I've lost a total of 71 pounds. First 20 was with WW online, the next 10 was Calorie Count (no longer an option) and the rest was MFP. I didn't do it quickly, I've done it over a period of about 10 years. And I've been basically in maintenance for the past year or two, just dropping a pound or so…

What slowed me down was putting the fork down between bites. Sounds silly, but it works. At least it did for me. 😉

Oh, how have I missed this all these years??? This is hysterical! I've lost an elephant's penis, too! Sure hope I don't find it again... 🤣😂🤣

Just a thought... are you eating your exercise calories? If so, remember... MFP and most sites over compensate your exercise with extra calories you "can eat"... but if I do that, I gain or maintain. 1900 calories a day seems awfully high, but let us know what your dietician says. I'm interested.
