    I've only deleted one person and that was because he kept asking me to look at nudes of him on his boat. Though before I did delete him I told him I was not interested hoping he would stop. However two days later he did it again. So I deleted and blocked him. I wouldnt delete someone because they were inactive. My account has been inactive since 2010 so I would hope that when I want to get back on the bandwagon my friends would still be there.

    (2) Is not MyFitnessPal's very raison d'être that of mutual accountability?
    No. It isn't. As a grownup I'm not accountable to anybody.

    It`s simple.........

    It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told.

    Sometimes I delete, sometimes I get deleted...that's MFP. I do have a core group of friends on here that has stuck together pretty well which is nice and a few people on my list that I would never delete.

    Question - how do you know you've been deleted. Do you get notified by MFP somehow?

    You don't get any notification.

    You just don't see the person on your list of friends. If you don't see the person on your list of friends and you didn't delete them then they unfriended you.

    I regularly have a 'kull' of inactive friends. In fact, if any of my MFP Friends show 'Last Login: X days ago' without giving notice of 'a holiday' or 'a note from their Mom', they they go 'bye-bye'.

    Some may think this is a little harsh, but I want friends who are dedicated and into the same things as me... They help keep me motivated and 'on track'.

    I also don't accept blank friends requests - If you want to befriend me on here, tell me why, don't just blindly send out requests - I just don't see the point...

    A lot of my friends on here log in daily and have huge day streak numbers; those who are 'in it to win it!' I am currently on 884 days!

    Stop being butt hurt.

    Butt hurt aka butthurt.

    What a vulgar callous term to describe anyone or how anyone feels. I'm no longer surprised to see this term popping up all over this site as it's so prevalent. It's disgusting to me. But please, to those of you who feel compelled to use this ugly term when typing out your words of wisdom, keep doing it. You reveal your character and mark yourself as someone to be avoided by anyone who knows better.

    For awhile I was all about the group hugs, but now I absolutely will delete individuals who consistently eat less than 1000 calories a day, do cleanses and wacky crash diets, post whiny $h*t every day, or obsess over every .00001 pound on the scale. The unhealthiness and negativity does the opposite of motivate me.

    "Charmingly befuddled"? Do you even English? Because I do, and the main rule is that you can't tell others when you're being charming.

    All of the above plus:
    - if you under-eat and are proud of it
    - if you make ignorant and/or uneducated posts or comments in the forums and you refuse to become "educated"
    - if you log bogus activities such as light cleaning, grocery shopping, doing laundry
    - if you are of the strong opinion that there is only one way to go about this lifestyle change and that's your way

    Delete, Delete, Delete
    [/quote]

    Yea, that light cleaning thing kills me. That tells me 1 of 2 things. 1. You are either admitting to never cleaning your home and you feel it's actually something to count or 2. You went over and think this is a way to make it "right".
    I've been lucky that my friends have been great. I've been working with a doctor about staying around 1200-1300 calories a day (which will be changing in the next appointment now that I'm no longer in the obese range.. YAY!) and that sometimes I just can't get that workout in. I delete after inactivity of 30 days (unless they're family I think may return) or they're full of newsfeed drama. I have deleted someone for trying to pass their unhealthy habits as actual diet advice and logging like crap (not actually logging what they've eaten, just finding the lowest calorie option in MFPs bank that's LIKE what they've eaten).

    I do delete others. But, if I see my friends have not been around in a week I send them a message (there are a couple i know that due to work they are just gone for long stretches) but others, I check on after a week - personal message. If I get to a month and no repsonses, then I post on the wall and after a couple months of no response/activity I do delete them. The point is accountability. But if you are not active and not responding, then there is no accountability.


    I do delet for the same reason. This is a new account for me for a new start but in the past I had the same reasoning as above.

    NP: listing songs that you are listening to, no matter how awesome the band is, is grounds for deletion.

    I deleted someone just yesterday. I can not support someone who refuses to eat and take care of themselves. I was shocked to see this individual get so many "likes for eating @ 600 calories. I asked her a few days ago if she was logging correctly and warned her that I could not support her if she refused to eat. Many others did too and as of yesterday there was no response so I used the delete option.

    I deleted the same person. I am on a journey to better my health and am looking for others with the same intention. I got the impression that this one was looking more for sympathy and attention than anything else. I also noticed that she rarely, if ever, replied to comments from her buddies regarding her eating habits and or questions.

    I mainly deleted people for inactivity. I have a 2 months limit, unless I know the reason or I know the person from elsewhere , in those case it is 6 months. .
    After a week or two I check up on the missing person, then again at 1 month mark, If no reply , response or logging in 2 months, there is no reason to keep it.
    I keep short friend list, because I actually want to interact and support each other. I only seek out new friends to add if my MFP list is below 30 and I do not think I ever had more than 50 on my list. . So yes, I want to know how am I doing with MFP friends and how many active friends I have,
    I am on here for almost 3 years started prior to my last pregnancy , so there are a tons of changes happened in this timeframe.

    I also deleted a handful people for other reasons.
    A) I delete one person for daily very long religious quotes and comment using constant capital letters. It made me feel like somebody yelling at me all the time.
    B) I delete one person for constant drama with the ex ( multiple rant posts daily). I do post some rant time to time, but I really do not need the daily stress of an other person in my life.
    C) I deleted one person who constantly aggressively pushing her diet ideas on me and everybody. Those diet ideas was very unconventional/extreme and I did not agree with it.
    D) I deleted one person who was actually nice, but was friend with MFP person C) , I felt really bad for this, but I that was the only way to get rid of person C on my newsfeed.

    a better question is, how many people have you recommend MFP to.... whom you would NEVER WANT TO FRIEND ON THIS SITE lol

    I delete pretentious people who use big words. Nah, actually I just never add those to begin with.

    People get deleted for various reasons all the time. Nothing to get offended over. It's not like they are your besties and you have sleepovers.

    I can't get past the jargon to understand the question. Delete.


    FWIW, I delete based upon the individual person, our interactions, and if my hormonal swings line up with the full moon. So, basically anything goes.

    Regarding people deleting for light cleaning/walking:

    I very rarely log these things, and when I do log any exercise I dramatically underestimate it.

    So twice a week if I clean for four hours it might say "Asa burned 200 cal cleaning for 240 minutes of cleaning" I clean my house everyday and don't log it, but my account is set at sedentary because I work in an office, so if I do clean (especially sweating, or running in the cleaning) for several hours, it does count as a burn for me. Obviously I'm not about to log the 1250 kcal MFP says I've burned, but it's not without merit.

    Also walking. If I go for a walk I do not ring up the 275 cal per mile MFP rings up, but I do log 100 calories per mile. That is a commonly accepted burn rate in the fitness world 1 mile=100 cal. And yes, sometimes when I go over 99 calories I walk a mile and burn it off.

    OP, this is EXACTLY why you shouldn't take it personally.

    Some people or just doing their own little thing in their own little world, and that's okay.

    Best of luck to them on their journey.
