Yes, it's certainly not good! 🙁 But I do thank those who at least made the effort to set this up. I check from time to time to see what's been posted, but there is not much activity in any of the groups I've joined. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do keep up with some MFP friends on other platforms, but feel kind of sorry for those who don't have…

Definitely missing the newsfeed! 🙁 I have connected with friends on other platforms to keep in touch, but I am really struggling to stay motivated with my exercise and eating now that I can no longer share the highs and lows with my friends on here. Giving and receiving support was really important to me. I haven't given…

Aww, thanks for the kind wishes, and I do feel a lot better now 😊 Yes, it's definitely kind of depressing. And I don't like change either!!

Thank you - sorry you're finding it a struggle too. Yes, I'd been on here about 13 years I think - I guess for some it's even longer! The newsfeed was a huge part of my life. I'm sure they'll have had a lot of people leave / delete their accounts. 🙁

Hey there! Still here at the moment, but can't get used to the new version of MFP. I am in 3 groups, and they've all gone really quiet! Feeling rather like I've been cast adrift - I am keeping in touch with quite a few friends, on other platforms, and individually / privately, but I just don't feel very motivated to post…

I don't know how many are still reading the group activity - it's a couple of weeks since I was on here myself, but just looked through this thread out of curiosity! I never paid for Premium anyway, but I really can't see how they can expect anyone to pay for it now! 😒 Although no doubt there are some who never bothered…

Ah, thank you springlering62 - glad you do! 😁 Sorry, not checked in for a while and just seen your reply!

mistymorning.64 Some of you have found me already! 😊 I am totally new to Instagram, and just getting the hang of it. I am trying hard to keep it only for my fitness friends, although somehow I do feel weird posting my exercise on there, and I'm not doing it every day. I'm not using my real name on my profile page in the…

Sorry, did not mean to post the monkey!!! 🙈🤣 (although it would probably be easier to train him than me!!)

I agree, it definitely seems more "faffy" having to do this than just use the newsfeed! 😏 Happy Fathers Day to all those who hold the title of Dad! 😊 Hope I have done this quote/ reply thing right! 😂

I must admit, I haven't explored the community pages much, apart from the three groups that I was invited to (this one is the biggest of those, and everyone on here seems great! 😊) But I am definitely missing the newsfeed! Just feeling like a lost soul at the moment - I have friends from MFP on Instagram and Facebook (some…

Logged in for 3125 days today 😊 I have been on MFP longer than that, but kept losing my streak during the first few years. I did that boycott thing, to protest about the newsfeed folding, and I expected to lose my streak then, but didn't - apparently it was the same for a few people. 🤔 Anyway, great logging everyone, and…

Hey everyone, Just joined the group, and I'm glad to see a few of my friends are already on here! 😊 I'm Lesley, and like most people on here, I am devastated that we'll be losing our newsfeed - which for me, has been the best thing about MFP - support, encouragement and inspiration from others is so important, and I have…

Hi! :) I am not sure if I did this correctly (maybe someone else can clarify?) but I clicked the link in the grey box near the top of this page. It took me into an online chat (although I think it was a robot on the other end!) but eventually there was an option to send an email, which I did - but I am not 100% convinced…

No advice I'm afraid, but I am certainly having the same problem (can't see the newsfeed at all) and I too prefer the website to the app. I think we might be in a minority with that preference, so I hope that doesn't make it a low priority for fixing?! So annoying!! :/ I might see if I can complain directly to the…

Hi there, Feel free to add me if you wish - I'm quite a bit older than you, but I'm a married mum in the UK, and we do seem to have a few things in common - I have also been caught up in yo-yo dieting since my very early teens, and although I eat quite healthily most of the time, I know I'm still consuming too many…

This question always seems to be up for debate! But I think for more efficient weight loss, it is certainly better not to eat all the extra "exercise" calories. However, it's a case of "do as I say and not as I do", because I am tending to eat most of mine at the moment! (I keep meaning not to!). :p But if you eat…

Hi there! I think I probably need to lose about 6 stone too, but I'm aiming for about 5, and will then see how I feel. I've been a bit of a diet failure (having tried to lose weight for years - hence the username!) but gave myself a fresh start this month. I like to think I am quite a supportive friend on here. Will send…

I really like the quote above! How true. To the original poster - 11kgs doesn't sound like the biggest gain in the world, especially if it's been over a long period of time. Not that I am trying to make your problem seem trivial. I've struggled with my weight for many years, and I'm currently the heaviest I've ever been -…

Hello - we are already friends from the last time you were on here, but just wanted to say that its good to see you back! :smile: Lovely news about the wedding too - how exciting! Sounds like you are not far from your ideal weight (and you have done so well to overcome all your past demons). Your plan sounds very sensible,…

I have asked people about this on here before - I am always mystified why the protein allowance on MFP is so low :huh: I'm over on my protein most days, and that's just with eating some kind of meat or fish with my lunch and dinner - I never have high protein drinks or bars, or anything like that! I think certain people…

I must admit, I've wondered about this myself! I have not been counting tea/coffee as water. Unfortunately I like my tea and coffee so much that I can never manage the full 8 glasses of water! :ohwell: No intention of giving them up though - and it's not for the caffeine effect ( I can drink coffee at bedtime and still…

Finding this interesting. I haven't read through every single reply, but a lot of you seem to be quite fortunate that the family will happily eat the same as you. My kids are now older, but I must say that I have generally made separate stuff for them. To be honest, I would have thought that some of the very low calorie…

Thanks for the replies and advice/suggestions - I will definitely consider everything you've all said. Re sodium retention - yes, could be - I usually lose what I've gained within about 5 days, (provided it's just been one or two days off - Christmas and summer holidays can be a different matter!!) but that just brings me…

Thank you very much for all your replies. :smile: First of all, I'm comforted to know that I'm not alone in this! Amaranth1002 - I was checked out for hypothyroidism a few years back, and was told I wasn't affected - one of the reasons I went to my doctor was because I often felt sleepy during the day, and I felt the cold…

I think the portion sizes (at SW) - i.e, dividing your plate into 3 sections - is relatively new. I'm sure when I first attended a SW class, about 9 years ago, you were literally told that certain foods were completely unlimited! But the "plate guide" thing makes more sense. :smile:

I've done Slimming World in the past, but didn't have that much luck with it. For one thing, if someone tells me to eat as much as I want of something (eg pasta, rice or whatever) I will take their words at face value - which I did, and I think I must have been eating far too many calories for successful weight loss! :huh:…

Yes, I watched that! :smile: It was quite interesting - although I was not that surprised by most of the content. I've attended WW in the past, not with any huge success unfortunately! But a relative of mine lost about 6 stone with them, and is now a leader - she's kept the weight off for about 10 years, so it definitely…

Bump! And thank you to the original poster for starting this thread - very interesting! :smile:

I really don't think it's necessary to log things that have zero calories! I was wondering why some of my friends logged vitamin pills etc, but I see that someone said it was to remind them to take them - fair enough I suppose! I do log my tea and coffee, as I take milk in them - but if I took them "black", I probably…
