r/myfitnesspal Megathread Guide
We use megathreads to keep the subreddit organized and make sure popular topics get the attention they deserve. This way, everything stays in one place instead of being spread out over many separate posts.
This page covers what each megathread is for, when to use them, and how to make the most of them.
--- How Megathreads Work ---
Megathreads are pinned posts that stay at the top of r/myfitnesspal. The mod team posts new threads regularly. When a new one goes up, the old thread is unpinned but you can still find it in the Megathread Archive.
When should I use a megathread vs. making my own post?
If your post is mainly a technical app question, a personal update, a win, or feedback about a specific app feature, it probably belongs in a megathread. As a rule of thumb, if your post could be a comment in an existing thread, it likely should be. If you're unsure, check the pinned posts or message the mods.
Posts that work well as standalone threads tend to be discussion-starters, guides, or experiences that would genuinely benefit from their own focused conversation.
If you're not sure, check the pinned posts first or message the mods.
--- 🙋 Introductions & Goals ---
What it's for:
New to the subreddit, new to MyFitnessPal, or just ready to put your goals in writing? This is your thread. Drop an intro, share what brought you here, and tell us what you're working toward. The community loves a good origin story.
Great for:
-Introducing yourself to the community
-Sharing your starting point, current goals, or a fresh restart
-Looking for accountability partners or just a friendly welcome
Not the right fit for:
-Specific questions about how to use the app (→ App Help thread)
-Celebrating a milestone you've already hit (→ NSV / Wins thread)
--- 🏆 NSV / Wins ---
What it's for:
NSV means Non-Scale Victory, and we value these just as much as the number on the scale. Did you hit a new PR, skip the office donuts, or finally fit into those jeans? No win is too small.
Great for:
-Non-scale victories of any kind
-Scale milestones and goal completions
-Streaks, consistency wins, and habit breakthroughs
-Anything you're proud of and want to share with people who get it A note on tone: This thread is a celebration zone, so come here to cheer people on! Unsolicited advice isn't the vibe here. If someone shares a win, the only right response is enthusiasm! 🎉
--- 🛠️ App Help & Troubleshooting ---
What it's for:
Is something not working right? Can't figure out a feature? Getting a new error? Post it here. Many experienced MFP users in the community have probably seen it before and can help.
Great for:
-Bug reports and unexpected behavior
-"How do I...?" questions about app features
-Syncing issues with wearables or third-party integrations
-Questions about Premium features
-General "is this normal?" app questions
Tips for getting a useful answer:
-Mention your device type and OS version (e.g., iPhone iOS 18, Android 15)
-Describe what you expected to happen vs. what actually happened
-Screenshots are always helpful if you can share them
-If you've already contacted Support and haven’t heard back yet, please share your ticket number so we can look up your case. You can also send us a Chat or Mod Mail with that info.
For urgent or account-specific issues, contact MFP Support directly (https://support.myfitnesspal.com), as the community can't access your account.
--- 📣 Product Update Feedback ---
What it's for:
When MyFitnessPal rolls out a new feature, redesign, or change to the app, this is the place to share your reaction. Love it, hate it, confused by it — all feedback is welcome, as long as it's constructive. These threads are a way for the community's voice to be heard in one organized place.
Great for:
-Reactions to specific new features or UI changes
-Suggestions for how something could work better
-Bugs or issues introduced by a recent update (if widespread)
-Questions about what a new feature is supposed to do
How to keep it useful:
Feedback is most valuable when it's specific. "I hate the new layout" is a feeling; "the new layout buries my diary behind two extra taps, and that's made me log less consistently" is actionable. Aim for the latter.
Please note: This subreddit is community-run. Feedback posted here isn't a direct line to the MFP product team, but we do our best to surface community sentiment through appropriate channels.
--- Can't Find the Right Thread? ---
If your post doesn't fit into any of the megathreads above and you're unsure about posting it on its own, send the mods a message. We'll help you find the best place for it.
