why delete friends when they added you for support

Well I think that shows what kind of friend they really are. Don't sweet it!!! They were probably not healthy for you long term. :happy:

Thanks, I'm not going for 300 friends or anything, that's not what it's about.....but when people add me, don't comment I'm not doing enough then delete me, you know?
Also, good luck to your adventure to health!

I too am at the 250-friend limit. If someone either hasn't logged in for a couple of weeks, or hasn't logged in for three days and this happens once a week, I delete the person. I also delete people who have no activity at all. I don't understand adding people as friends if you are not going to complete your diary, exercise, or at least cheer them on. I figure there is a waiting list of 18 people who are willing to support me and who are trying hard and deserve my support, so I delete the inactive ones. Also, if I add someone from the waiting list, because I've just deleted someone else who never logs in, and that person already hasn't logged in for a few days, I go ahead and delete them right then. I know it's harsh, but that's how I do it.

I'm typically a very positive person and stay away from negative comments, but I must say, when the lady said my burning only 280 calories wasn't pushing myself, then deleted me 3 days later......almost like she was thinking I was a lost cause! Well, just because I don't always burn 900 calories a day, like she did often, doesn't make me any less of a person. Matter of fact, I'll pat myself on the back for losing 43 lbs BEFORE I ever started myfitnesspal! I've lost 14 since being on here, and I'm now down to the final 20! Go me!!

Also, thanks for all the friend adds.....I appreciate the SUPPORT!

WHAAAAT!! That was her reason! Thats absurd. You didn't need her as a supporter. She did you a favor. Be happy.

Very rarely will I actually send a request to people. They generally request me and I will accept, as such, they are free to leave as they please. I'm secure with my own efforts. If they're unaware of my quirks, they'll either find out soon enough or they will receive a welcome message from me with a disclaimer, forewarning them that I'm not of the "norm" of society. But they will only receive a message if there was one attached to the request. I give back what I get. I'm unbiased and fair that way.

Try not to take it personally. I end up deleting a lot of people. Mostly because I accept friend requests willy nilly but then after I add them I never hear from them again, they become inactive, we have nothing in common, or in a few cases.....they just really annoy me. I don't know why I should have to keep anyone on my friends list that I don't connect with.

Oh, really! Well, in that case, she's not worth your time. We all do what we can do. I feel like a "good" burn for me is 300 cals in a day. Some people burn a lot more than that, and that's good for them, but I'm not there. Do what's working for you, and don't worry about the haters.

Maybe there are other reasons for deleting you. I know I will delete people if I don't feel they're giving back the support I give them, or if I find that I can't support them the way I should because I don't understand their goals, or if we don't have as much in common as we thought we did, or if I feel they're negative. I don't know you, so I don't know if any of those reasons apply to you, but it might not be because they think you're not "doing enough." Or it might even be just that they have too many people on their friend list, so they go through and delete some.

Don't take it personally or let it get you down. Just keep on trucking.

I completely agree!

AAAHAHAHA She would be appalled at my little 48 cal burns of "walking up hill at brisk pace" for 10 min on my mini breaks at work xD

I wouldn't sweat it.

I used to delete people because they posted so many times a day about some fleeting thought or something unrelated to weight loss, that I never saw what any other friends were up to. I recently figured out how to hide them, which seemed a little bit nicer.
