  • It's not coming back. MFP has discontinued the newsfeed. It sounds like most people are moving to Lose It or My Net Diary to find each other and use the community functions those apps have.
  • What does your weightlifting workout look like? Abs are fundamentally made in the kitchen because you have to get your body fat so low. But you also need to have a considerable amount of muscle so that you have something to show once you’re lean enough.

  • The calorie goal from MFP includes the 1,000 calorie per day deficit, so not a great idea to cut further than that.
  • For me, regulating my sleep and movement were key in stopping the slow slide of perimenopause. My sleep was terrible, even if I wasn't having hot flashes. Since I was always dragging, my non-exercise movement decreased and my calorie intake increased since my body was looking for energy wherever it could get it. I also had…
  • The newsfeed function has been entirely discontinued by MFP. Most people who primarily used that area are moving to Lose It and My Net Diary to reconnect. There is a function called the Activity Feed that is supposed to be a substitute:…
  • That's really a question for your pediatrician. Weight loss while you're still growing may or may not be recommended for your future health.
  • I'd say that if a specific number is your goal, then you're doing yourself a disservice with occasional weigh-ins. It's too easy for a water weight fluctuation from food, muscle soreness, hot weather, travel, injury, or any number of things to be clouding things by chance on the day you weigh. I would switch to daily…
  • It also comes perilously close to medical advice. What happens if the MFP estimate is too low and someone sues because they can't make enough milk anymore? I do think a lot of people who breastfeed balance their calories by tracking the feeding as exercise. That's their own determination though.
  • It's been about 5 years since the OP. Would you call that a semi-decade?
  • As someone who has had "stomach issues" ranging from ulcers to gastroparesis to nausea and vomiting pretty much any time I get stressed or upset.....throwing up for a solid week is NOT NORMAL. Rather than spending any amount of time trying to divine how many calories might or might not have stayed in your system, please,…
  • Most are going to Lose It or My Net Diary. I think every app with anything remotely social has MFP refugee threads/groups going.
  • Just keep in mind there are no customizable privacy settings. It's either all private or all visible.
  • I'd just dive right on in! My impression is that this board skews to an older crowd in general, so you're likely in good company!
  • You don’t see it because it isn’t there. MFP decided to delete and no longer support newsfeeds.

  • It’s not a glitch….
  • And from what I can tell, no privacy features. Either the world can see your feed or no one can.
  • Yep, be sure to count the calories in the total amount of watermelon you used and divide from there.
  • I tracked on Nutrionix. But be warned, it is just a tracker. No ads, no blogs, no newsfeed, no forums, no social aspect whatsoever. But it has voice logging and a barcode scanner. I haven’t tracked in quite a while, so no idea how well those work, but I’ve found it to be a handy little app when I need it.
  • There's a creator on Instagram, @thespeechprof that is currently exploring evaluation for AuDHD. He's an incredible communicator and has been doing a really interesting job of laying out what has gotten him to the point of exploring a diagnosis. He has neurodivergent children and has been seeing a lot of similarities.…
  • You could potentially find that on a better and more curated food database, you would need fewer custom entries. I like the forums, but haven't tracked on MFP for years, even before I stopped calorie counting. The other platform is much more straightforward and included a lot more "current" types of entries like Factor…
  • I would LOVE to only have a 2-3 pound fluctuation! It would be an absolute dream! I regularly see shifts of 4-7 pounds of water weight, and did even before I went into perimenopause. I have no health concerns - no heart or blood pressure trouble, so it's not edema, it's just what my body does. If you're seeing consistent…
  • The newsfeed is gone. MFP has discontinued it. It sounds like most people that want to keep using a newsfeed to keep in touch are moving to Lose It and My Net Diary.

  • I think that's an ongoing bug that hasn't been fixed yet. A couple of people have changed their browser and that helped. Here's the thread about it on the Tech Support board: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10915776/firefox-cant-add-food-items#latest

  • I make myself eat a piece of fruit, usually with salt, every morning with my breakfast. I also only allow vegetables as an afternoon snack. My variety is pretty basic. I usually buy one of those veggie trays, tiny tomatoes, and a bag of pickling cucumbers. The rotation also includes carrot chips (carrots sliced on the bias…
  • It also keeps new posters from seeing the general unhappiness and upset (and links to competing platforms).
  • Honestly, if I'm just mashing up some guac to go on tacos or something, I just add some salsa to the avocado mash until it's the consistency I want. That's when I'm just throwing some together. I cook for one, so I'm not always very fancy and am EXTREMELY focused on speed and convenience :) If there are going to be other…
  • @stiggymt You should see a blue circle with a plus sign at the bottom right. Tap on it and it should give a a choice of new discussion, new poll, and something else. Just make sure you tap on the circle when you’re on a screen you can make new posts from.
  • I tried canned enchilada sauce when I moved up north. Better to not have enchiladas at all. However, I have been saved by a couple of New Mexico companies that ship red chile on demand :) @springlering62 If you can get your hands on it, try red chile sauce from a jar instead of a can. There's a company called 505 that…
  • I was just going to tag you to see this thread! How funny!
