Do any of you ever delete friends on here? I'm considering deleting a few who hardly ever log in, aren't actively losing weight, and just generally are not supportive. What do you think? Is this mean?

    A bit choosy, aren't we? Yes it's mean...Why does it matter if they aren't actively losing weight?

    I wouldn't delete someone just because they aren't actively losing weight, but I have deleted a few here and there who haven't logged on in ages.

    I go through about once a month and delete people who haven't logged on in 3 plus weeks. I keep everybody else.

    Totally not! If you're looking for really motivated people to keep you on track, I don't see the big deal in choosing who is gonna help you through. If you're in it for just friends then who cares?

    I don't think it's mean at all. You have to do what's going to motivate you. I delete friends here and facebook, because I don't had them for the purpose of numbers. If there is no interaction then I delete them. I do make exceptions if I know something is going on, or whatever, but if I know that then it means there has been communication.

    I delete people who don't log in for over two weeks, but don't if there not loosing.
    I've got a few friends I could delete for being unsupportive but I've not done that either.

    It's your 'friend' list do what you want! Chances are they won't realise and your not likely to meet them anyway!

    I think you should use MFP however it makes YOU feel comfortable. Delete away if you want, no hard feelings.

    I don't think it's mean at all. They obviously aren't really in to this and this is all about supporting and cheering our friends on. I doubt that they'll even notice if you delete them.

    I delete friends when they haven't logged on in a certain time frame for multiple times. I have also been know to delete a "friend" for NEVER eating over 1000 calories. These are my personal beliefs about finding commited people who want to make their life healthy. But I don't delete due to a person for not actively losing weight.

    One time I had a friend who didn't log in for a few weeks and it was bc she had a family emergency! And right as she's trying to get back on the wagon, she logs into MFP and all her friends have deleted her. I don't see the point of deleting. If they're not logging in, you don't have to comment on their stuff, there's nothing to comment on!

    I delete people when they haven't logged in for over a week, attention seekers, whiners, people who aren't losing weight healthily when they requested me for support in recovery and seem to have no interest in actually recovering.

    It's your friendslist, you can do with it what you please!

    This is a support website so that's what we're here to do and if you aren't doing your part then I give you up to 4days to interact with me. After that, you're done and I keep moving because I refuse to stop:wink:

    Every couple of weeks I delete anybody that hasn't logged in 20+ days.

    This is your weight-loss & health journey....keep the people around you that motivate and support you and drop those that don't. Add me, I'm on here every day and if I stop you can delete me knowing I had it coming.

    I deleted a ton of people in the past so I could accept new ones. MFP used to cap the friend list. They've since gotten rid of it or moved it up... thankfully.

    I don't think it's mean at all and I have deleted people for many different reasons. Never because they aren't losing weight though. If someone hasn't logged in for a while I will try to write on their wall and encourage them and give them time to come back. I want people who are committed and motivated on my team and if I feel that someone is not then I have no problem deleting them. If someone adds me as a friend and I find that I am always encouraging and supporting them but never get the same in return, I do eventually delete them.

    If they haven't been logging in, they probably won't even notice.
