    If they are not supportive back -

    I deleted one who thought this was My Fitness Fan - she never gave any feedback to anyone and basked in the admiration of guys who thought she was super hot and sucked up to her.

    Gone!

    People who never log in get deleted...
    People who make statuses every 5 minutes get deleted...
    Oh, and creepers get deleted often.

    I second these three reasons. I hate the ones that treat this like FB though too.

    "So my boyfriend took me to the movies...." ...okay and? did u run in and out of the theater? did u eat wrong and need someone to help motivate u not to eat it again? smh...that annoys me!!

    Only once did i put on here that I am going through a lot and i put that I am loosing motivation to workout and I wanted people to help set my head straight and they did because I have awesome friends on MFP.

    Lack of logging in;
    Lack of interaction;
    If they have a huge friends list, I often delete. I figure they won't miss me;
    Their posts are too negative or too vulgar;
    And sometimes I delete bc they just don't seem... bright :wink:

    I only have two rules, I try and make an effort to talk to everyone on my friends list but if you show no interest in wanting to talk to me, I'll delete you. I have anorexia so I won't deny a friend request based on the fact you have one, I would happily support someone going through an eating disorder but if you're trying to glamorise your eating disorder then trust me, you're gone. I refuse to have time wasters in my life and people triggering me just isn't worth it, I have to think about my health. Sounds harsh but that's the way it goes.

    Same reasons as most. Lack of any interaction and extreme negativity are the worst to me, though.

    Hey, Jeanine, can I have my Weed Whacker back? I need to prune some too! :flowerforyou:

    i usually delete if they wont show me their bewbs..

    I may be going out on a limb here but I'm going to guess based on the current profile pics that rm830 and Mama_Mila are NOT gettting deleted from your list.

    I hate the "screennamewhatever hasnt logged in for two weeks". Dont waste my news feed with your lack of committment. Unless youre on vacation then you get a pass.

    Only if there are extended periods of inactivity, like they last logged in 3 months ago.

    Someone deleted me because of that. I think it's funny. I mean....perhaps you should shoot me a supportive email...asking if everything's ok or something like that. Clearly, to each their own....if you feel you need someone to hold your hand as you go through this "program" then I do hope you find those types of people. Maybe instead of feeling like you need the support all the time, why not check and see if that person needs your support too...? Just food for thought.

    What reasons do you delete friends on MFP? I like to keep a small group so I can easily support, motivate and get to know people. Here are some reasons why I have deleted:

    1. Not logging in consistently. Long gaps in activity.
    2. No communication. I don't expect daily; but some is necessary.
    3. Bashing on other people. I can take it if you bash on me; but don't knock other people (I'm protective like that).

    I think that's about it. This was prompted because I deleted someone and she asked me why. She had constant gaps in her log ins. She would frequently go weeks at a time w/o activity.

    Same here!

    I have a few reasons for deleting

    1. If they haven't logged in consistently, usually if it's over a week but sometimes less if it's someone who I never talk to.
    2. People that never comment or respond to comments. I deleted one girl who I would constantly comment on her statuses and she would never comment on mind, or say anything about my comments. lol.
    3. Anyone who is making unhealthy decisions (not food, but like eating 500 calories a day) and doesn't take advice from others.
    4. Anyone who pushes their "fasting" "diet pills" and other crap down mine and my friends throats. That my friend, I am NOT okay with.
