Deleting YourFitnessPals

I delete people specifically for being "friend collectors," i.e., people who seem to be just trying to get the number on their friend count high and who aren't interacting with ME. I don't need self-promoting updates from strangers who don't interact with me in my feed.
ALL of This post!^^ but especially if they NEVER reply / comment on my postings. I don't need validation - but if I'm just a number on their friends list I have no interest in their activities. Be a friend to keep a friend!0 -
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.
Yep, deleted the same person. I can't cheer someone on if they are hellbent on eating less than half of their recommended calories. Add in the exercise calories and some days it went negative on the net calories. Despite all the support and concern from everyone, each day would come in as less than the day before. Support them if they need help, yes, cheer them on for trying to destroy their body, no.0 -
I'm thinking this friend you speak of just recently added me. Not sure what to do because I actually feel bad for her and am not sure if she's eating so low by a doctors reccomendations. Should I ask?I deleted someone just yesterday. I can not support someone who refuses to eat and take care of themselves.

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.
A few people have tried asking, no response. I get that maybe a doctor suggested eating less but her profile indicates no weight left to lose. She has met her goal. Also the food choices are a bit sketchy because if you're serious about following a doctor's orders to eat less, you would be following their suggestion to eat better too :-( No doctor in their right mind would be suggesting less than 600 a day.0 -

I delete for only a couple of reasons...
1) Not logging in for over a month with no explanation.
2. Personalities just don't click.

I delete people occasionally if they don't log in for a very long time. Are they bothering me by not being on? No, but I tend to go through my friends list often to write on my friends newsfeeds. I will do that for people who haven't logged in recently especially, hoping they see it and are reminded that we miss them.
And I wouldn't want to have to page through 5,000,000 people who hadn't logged in for a year in the name of not being a big meanie friend deleter.0 -
+1Stop 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.

I have no need to delete as I don't add in the first place 0

I delete for:
Not logging in for over 14 days. Unless they've stated they'll be gone.
Selling anything. I'm not buying any crazy diet stuff.
Drama!
Always sick. Ok, I get that sometimes people have headaches, etc, etc. however, if something is wrong every single day. Go to the doctor because clearly there is a problem. Complaining about it doesn't solve that.
Being an a$$hat.0 -
I'm a total friend collector. I don't care if they eat too less or too much, curse, send nakey photos, complain and whine etc. etc. etc. but there is one type of whining I can't stand. I will delete those people!
If I hear a stay at home wife complain that her husband isn't supporting her diet and she doesn't have time to exercise I might flip out. Many of us here work full time, be single, pay all our own bills, take care of kids, and somehow still find time to exercise, your arguement is invalid so <clicks delete>.
I cannot even remotely relate to that business.
They're few and far between and don't last long.0 -

I delete a MFP friend if the person annoys me.
What bugs me can change from day to day, hour to hour. Basically, they did nothing wrong, it's all about me.
I'd definitely delete myself most days, if given the chance. :huh:
I like you! Thanks for the chuckle

I usually delete those who haven't been active in a month UNLESS they have been supportive in the past then I do not delete them.
I delete those who after a long time of commenting and supporting them, and they for some reason do not return the favor. I make it crystal clear on my profile what kind of friends I'm looking for and let people know ahead of time you will get deleted if you are not supportive.
I am normally not the one who ask to be friends so if you choose to ask to be my pal be prepared to support me and I will gladly return the favor. 0 -
I haven't deleted anyone ( haven't been here too long) but people who send blank friend request then never interact with me seem strange. It just seems like some people on here are into "friend collecting". What was the point in sending me a request. Strange.0

Have you ever deleted one or more of YourFitnessPals, and, excepting cases of harassment and/or credible threats to physical safety, why? I find myself rather charmingly befuddled by my unusually high FitnessPal attrition rate as an otherwise well-mannered, respectful and moderately active member (159 days) though never to the point of flooding others' feeds… in one richly ironic instance a member who took to this very forum seeking accountabilibuddies who *wouldn't* delete her nonetheless did the very same to me in less than a fortnight!
The most common justification I've come across is an extended period of inactivity on the part of the deleted: if that is indeed the case;
(1) An inactive FitnessPal, by definition, would not be clogging your feed or otherwise hindering your MFP experience… "What difference — at this point — does it make?";
(2) Is not MyFitnessPal's very raison d'être that of mutual accountability? Rather than delete, would not a polite nudge in the form of a message or wall post be more appropriate and consistent with the spirit of MFP? My experience has been that MyFitnessPals who've returned following an extended absence usually have compelling reasons for their inactivity, to say nothing of genuine contrition for their absence.
PS Please feel free to add me as your accountabilibuddy: No explanation needed, I've never deleted anyone, nor have I the intention absent the aforementioned exceptions.
I tend to delete people who go over 2 months inactive. Unless I really really like them.
Most of the deleted people are people who asked to friend me for no compelling reason I could see, and we didn't have a whole lot in common.
I could let them sit there true, but I don't want my friends list getting too large.0 -
I like to 'know' and interact with my friend list. So if there is no interaction and/or they are gone for a month or more I will delete. I don't want to be part of a collection either.0

I've never deleted anybody yet! I log everyday and am pretty motivated but I don't have any problem if someone has not logged in for a long time, I feel "oh thats a shame" sometimes when I notice peoples last login time was a while ago, but then just because they don't log in doesn't mean they aren't still going to come back, it doesn't mean they aren't working on their goals outside of mfp.
I know some people who have admitted they just lost their motivation for it for a while. But I can understand that and I hope that one day if they get their stuff going on sorted or motivation back that they can come back and give it their best. I'm happy to still be there when they do.
I've lost my motivation for a year at a time. I still turn up and log my food though. It keeps me from backsliding.
I guess people don't really think about that when they drop out but I HATE gaining weight over the winter because I'm comfort eating or not paying attention, and then basically having to start over again during the summer.
MFP has been a godsend even when I'm not motivated.0 -
Mostly for displaying skill in asshatery, and sometimes just for my own flights of fancy.0

Who cares its the internet...
It's not FB and these people aren't your "real" friends anyways, and you should be the only one keeping yourself accountable.
/end thread
Some people care, A LOT!
Some people keep spreadsheets so if someone deletes them they can figure out who it is.
Some people see that you've deleted them and start sending whiny/abusive messages over it.
Some people start threads in forums to identify people who've deleted them.
Me? I can't even tell when someone has cut me. And if they do I assume they had their reasons.
those people need more to do with their time...0
