    If it's someone who was active on MFP for awhile, has been interactive with me during that time, and then suddenly stops showing up, yes I will drop them a line. Usually I hear back and they drop back in or their absence was only temporary. For others who log in routinely but aren't really interactive with me, then no I don't check on them and let them reach 10 days and then Delete. I'm here for a specific reason. I will support those who are serious about improving themselves and their health, etc. However, those who aren't serious end up getting dropped. Regarding your friend - I had a similar experience with a friend who recently indicated she was done with MFP "it isn't doing anything for me" is about how she described it. I deleted her. If she's not going to use the tool, then I don't want to keep reading about how many days she hasn't logged in. If she changes her mind and returns, I'll add her again - if she wants to be added. Basically, it's your choice of who you want to keep on or delete.

    Regarding me, I intend to keep using MFP - it has been the most useful weight loss tool for me that I've tried, and I've tried many.

    Best wishes to you and the rest of the serious ones in your journey to optimum health! :flowerforyou:

    I never really thought that far ahead because I am just taking it one day at a time. However as long as it is working for me (I have lost 7lbs and sill have 60 more to go) then I will be here. I enjoy reading the posts, the success stories and recipes have been great motivation for me.

    I don't know... Right now, in the early stages of my lifestyle change, I need MFP for accountability and encouragement. But down the road, when I'm more set in my routine, maybe not so much?? When I quit smoking, 9 years ago, I logged into the support website multiple times a day. Now I log in once a year on my anniversary to encourage those just starting out. I could see MFP becoming something more that that for me....

    I think its perfectly rational to stick to this site even if you've met your weight loss goals. Continuing to count your calories and track your exercise is a healthy habit to maintain. If it were like Weight Watchers or something like that I could see the necessity of learning how to live without it at one point, but this is just like keeping a journal. It's good for you.

    I'm pretty sure that I'll be using MFP for the rest of my life! I love the tools, keeping myself accountable & the friends I've made. :bigsmile:

    this.

    and yeah i think i'll be sticking with MFP once I reach my weight goal and am ready for maintenance. The food logging in itself is a great way to stay accountable with myself and not at least give a second thought about any foods i might want to indulge in.

    Besides that I've e-met some pretty cool people on here that I'd like to keep in contact with.

    I know for me I will still continue to use MFP after I reach my goal (not only for support to keep me always on track, but to be there for my friends also....& I've found that logging everything that goes in my mouth & logging my exercise is exactly the way to get to my goal, and it will be exactly the way to go to keep me at goal.....so MFP is a keeper for me! :)

    :laugh: This was serious and requiring immediate attention?

    I delete friends after they've been gone about a month, if we never have any kind of contact, or if they don't eat enough.

    Since I don't think I will stop logging my foods until I'm much older, I think I'll be here a while. :P

    Thats a good question. It depends on how well I can maintain the weight after I lose it. But if I can have the app on my phone, I may just stay around anyway. Right now I have no more room on my phone. :(

    No I don't. This is the first time in a long time that. I have been able to drop weight easily.

    I delete friends after they've been gone about a month, if we never have any kind of contact, or if they don't eat enough.

    i've been wondering if i should delete the chronic undereaters and the people who log stuff like cleaning their kitchn as exercise.
    part of me feels like a ***** for thinking of doing it because everyone is at a different place, blah blah blah but then the other part of me thinks i they'll probably fall off anyway and stop logging because they either cant keep up with their 600 calorie diet or get too frustrated about not seeing results...

    I assumed people would understand it's just a post that brought about a reason for discussion. The word serious was to display my concern and want for others thoughts on MFP not being here. It is a bit "serious" to me, but perhaps not as serious to others. :tongue:

    I don't really feel that bad. I just can't support anyone who is living off of 900 calories everyday. I also like having friends with the same type of goals as me.

    Yeah! After reading a few posts here and understanding that even those that have not logged for days need our support as well, I a, rethinking my deletion process. I agree with you, they may eventually delete themselves.
