    I have only female friends, particurally mothers, as my friends because I can easily relate to them and support them. I have a small group of friends on here and i am happy with that. I feel having a small group of friends we can support and motivate one another more. I have friends that will be there for me with the ups and downs in this journey and i will be there for them also.

    I agree. I only have a small friend list, and prefer it that way. I too prefer female friends, but I wouldn't ignore a guy who had similar weight loss goals or similar inspiration. I am trying to lose over 100 lbs and trying to do it so I can be healthy, but mostly so I can have children. My husband is 6 years older than me, and in my opinion, he's waited long enough and my weight is the only barrier in the next step of our life.

    It's my profile and therefore my right to decide to do that. If I wish to put "friend requests will not be accepted unless you send me $500 by Paypal", then I can do that as well.

    I can't speak for anyone else - but for me, I haven't accepted any new requests lately because I feel as though I don't have enough time or energy to respond to the friends that I have right now and I don't want to add new people only to ignore them.

    I tend to agree with this. I don't participate much except posting to these boards. I don't usually send individual messages to people because I don't know them, don't know what I'd say to them and I'm not an "atta boy" kind of poster. I don't really care to read my feed if it's full of posts from people that I really don't know and what they are saying doesn't pertain to me or interest me. So if someone does ask me to friend them I will but I always wonder why they picked me to friend. I don't usually request people to friend me.

    Just call me anti-social, lol. Though really I'm not.....

    I usually add but once I see that I'm not getting the support that I'm giving I delete them...especially when I see them giving others on their list support.

    Because I want people with similar goals, lifestyle, similar issues or people that have been where I'm at to give me advice. My goals are not just about losing 100+lbs and my way of losing isn't to eat as little as possible. And I want to be a supportive friend to those on my friends list. That gets to be difficult with a large list.

    I will add anyone that sends a request. I just go through frequently and remove friends that do not log in for awhile or who never comment on anything I do.

    I personally only accept female friend requests...just because I sometimes like to post girly things (such as something about my period, boobs, or whatever...plus if I were to feel comfortable enough to post pictures of myself in barely any clothing, I would just feel more comfortable with only females seeing.) I'm married also, and just don't feel it's right to have other men cecking out my photos or commenting on something I've said about boobs. Lol, this is all just my personal preference. I am supportive to the friends I have on here and encourage/congratulate on a regular basis. I log in daily and make an effort to log. I do delete people for not logging in for a month or so and just not showing that they are trying to change.
