What makes you unfriend somone?

Inactivity, weird, and/or creepy

I am ACTIVE, weird, and/or creepy. Would I get deleted?

When people haven't logged in for weeks -- pretty much shows they've given up. I've been fortunate enough to not run into any seriously disturbing people.

This.

I haven't unfriended anyone. My friends are mostly active and we support each other through good and bad times. Not sure what would cause me to even consider this.

I have some friends who have become inactive and I have sent messages to them. I will wait and see if they come back. It would be nice to see the prodigal MFPers come back. I'd prefer not to give up on them.

Mainly the people who don't interact and thirsty/ trashy (wo)men. Not so much for inactivity or what they eat (I'm only dealing with one journey.)

If the friends are not supportive and encouraging and have no communication going on with them. Then there is no point of keeping them in the friends list.

Obnoxious/inappropriate status updates.. Im not above having fun, Im above being crass. :grumble:

Decidedly overweight ppl deciding 1200 calories is the optimum calorie intake then struggling to stay under and complaining about it. :noway:

People who go AWOL for substantial amounts of time, or who log in irregularly then complain about weight loss being slow. I get it, life happens but accept your own actions as reasons for the numbers not moving. :noway:

Whiners. Im not usually so irritable, but if youre going to constantly beat yourself up for having a bad day or two, and KEEP posting updates about how youre feeling so guilty and nothing anyone is saying to reassure you actually reassures you, and youve posted for the 4th time that youre feeling bad about it - Im over it, I don't need the spam - moving on.

Friend collectors who don't interact with their collected friends. I don't want to be your hobby :laugh:

That about sums it up for me :flowerforyou:

If they like Nickelback.

There you go.

I very rarely unfriend anyone. If a person has obviously abandoned the program, then I'll delete them, but that is about it. You never know when someone on your friends list is going be able to help or you'll suddenly be able to help them, too.

I unfriend people that never interact with me..

^^This.

Going on and on about things that have nothing at all to do with fitness or weight loss. I really don't need to know about your personal sex life. REALLY, SERIOUSLY!

Lmao!! I like you!

I like this guy

I normally would make some sort of joke referring to doubling the amount of women I've ever made happy. But I'm not gonna do that.

Nope.

LOL

People who are always in bad moods or 'poor me's who are whinging for attention...oh and people who do no exercise, eat crap food and complain that they haven't lost weight! I like people who are sarcastic, can have fun and actually like their lives...

I don't unfriend (yet) :laugh: I am typically on MFP daily & consider myself to be fairly active in my support & encouragement of others.

Although, I will note that I recently got unfriended by a couple people recently when I didn't sign on for about a week or so.

The thing is, nobody knows why you aren't signing on. I was still following my fitness plan, just had to give some extra attention to my son who needs it from time to time due to his special needs.

Point being, you don't really know someones situation & if they didn't do something to really offend you, what is the reason to delete them simply because they didn't sign on for a week? Thought this site is about support. Do you really have 1,000 friends & need to keep that close a watch on it?

The way I see it, if they deleted me, they weren't worth it anyway :smokin:

I really only delete someone if they consistently eat/net below 1000 calories. That's considered anorexic, and being a recovered anorexic I can't be seeing that, let alone supporting that type of behavior.

I would probably also delete someone if they were rude...but I have yet to come across someone on my friends list that is. Spelling or horrible grammar also gets to me, but I'm not really sure I would delete someone over that -- it's not their personality, so I can't hold it against them.

With all due respect, I have to disagree with you on this one. I am consistently eating less than 1000 calories a day right now... but, I have had weight loss surgery and am following my doctor's instructions. When I get closer to my maintenance range, I will up my calories to beyond 1000, but that will probably be a couple of months from now. Honestly, at the stage I'm at, 1000 calories a day would be hard to get in because I still have such tight restriction.

I agree that there are some people who eat less than 1000 calories a day who are anorexic, but I think we walk a dangerous line anytime we make blanket statements like this one. Again, I am following my doctor's instructions. If anything, it was my compulsiuon for overeating, which is also an eating disorder, that put me to a point where I needed the surgery to begin with.

Glad you are recovering, because I know how difficult that can be. Good luck in your continued success!

Okay, I've only had to delete someone once for this...and I asked her about her eating habits before I jumped to any conclusions. She first-handedly admitted that she didn't think her eating habits were a problem (under 800 cals a day before exercise). If it's under doctors orders, that's a different thing and wouldn't result in deletion...but I would avoid looking at your food diary, for my own sake.
