    their status posts show up on your feed.

    most people add me because they want my statuses. 75% never bother motivating me. Im a twitter feed, not a real person. I dont think you should worry so much about people who have hundreds of friends because:

    1. they have jack to do with your fitness and weight loss goals
    2. they aren't injuring you
    3. they are probably just more tolerant than you
    4. no one will make you be their friend
    5. you probably have the same number of actual quality motivational friends as they do

    .......

    Some people can handle it.

    It doesnt mean we are trying to pimp out some BS beach body nonsense.

    thanks for the judgment though :drinker:

    Boom. Well said.

    It always amuses me when the basis of someone's rant is what they thought something was *supposed* to be, and then they get upset when real people interact with the world in the way that's best for themselves instead of the OP's idealized vision.

    If you make a popular post, you get like 20-30 FRs a day. Either you accept them all and then you're a *kitten* for having to many friends, or you decline a bunch and then you're a snob for declining people who want support. Luckily your opinion on who I choose to have on my FL has no bearing on me whatsoever.

    I accepted a FR from someone who added 400 people in a month. He was looking for sponsors for when he ran the London Marathon. Way to go and ruin a good site - jerk!

    Delete!

    The amount of sour grapes I absorb by visiting the forums (fora...do you even Latin?) is putting me over my carb limit lately.

    Anyone else wondering how many calories the OP burned with all this judging?

    The real question is, is she supposed to eat them back?!

    Wait, so you can't have 500 real friends? Were all those people lying in high school when they signed my yearbook to keep in touch?!
