    I only have 7 I think. I try to encourage and be supportive to each one of them in their efforts on a daily basis, as I have found that motivation helpful to me.

    At one point I had a LOT of MFP friends and I just did not have the time to view food diaries and encourage each person. MFP started eating up too much of my time. Then I started feeling kind of pressured and guilty cause I didn't have time to encourage my friends individually so I avoided getting on altogether. Then, I got very sick for a while which was a handy excuse to quit.

    I ended up leaving MFP for a time and when I came back I had lost most of my buddies. I just stuck with those that I still had that were till active and didn't seek more. I could probably use a few more interactive friends but I don't want to ever get over 20 again. That's more manageable to me.

    I have posted things in the past that I thought were funny and people attacked me. I actually deactivated my 1st account b/c I thought I was being cyber bullied. With this new account I have tried to debate some and it went to heck in a handbasket. I am clearly way more annoying than I realized! Oops! :-) These days I am starting to post less and less of any consequence and mainly I just read.

    I try to stay under 100. I only delete if somone hasn't been on for a month. Figure people go on vacation and what not so I give them the benifit of a doubt. I have a group of about 25 that I chat with all day long, others that we only comment on our updates.

    I think I have too many, but I don't like to reject people, so I never say no when people request me. I probably talk to about half of them. I may have to start editing out a bit though.

    Under 15...5 or 6 are constant motivators for me, and I find that I give more time to those people; however, I am happy to support everyone.

    57, a few are friends I know in real life.
    I go through the list often and if I'm not connecting with a person or they never post, I see no reason to have them on my list.

    I have 26 and nearly all are active. This seems like a good number for me. I can't imagine having over 100!

    Trying to keep my list under 100... So I go through my list each week and if we NEVER communicate or if they never log in... then I delete them. Right now I have 96 AMAZING friends! :-)

    39 and I talk to all of them I keep my number around 45 or so. I delete people weekly.
  • I'm friends on here with my sister and one complete stranger that I check in with every once and awhile.
    My sister's finishing up basic training...so it will be nice after nearly 7 weeks to have her on here again for motivation.

    I have around 110. And I make it a point to visit their pages every now and again a few times a week and comment on their diaries and exercise logs. But that's because I sit at a desk all day and don't have anything else to do! So I have the time. On the weekend though, I typically go MIA :laugh: I'm comfortable where I'm at. I delete if you've deactivated or haven't logged in in over a month.
