I just started this site today and love it, you all are so inspiring! However, how do you know who to accept, decline or block
on here?

    I accept everyone! The more support the better I guess, haven't had any problems

    I would say, check out their profile. If they seem like someone you have things in common with, like kids, etc. then add them. If you don't think they are someone you would really talk about things with, then maybe don't add them. It is you choice, whatever you want :)

    HI! i take it that everyone wants the same goal here so I accept them. I will however delete if they are not active and not looking to support or be supportive! Best wishes and friend me if you would like!

    I am adding those who are in a similar position to me

    my long term goal is to lose 7st - i think its great that there are people only needing or wanting to lose 1 or 2 stone, but i'm needing to get motivated and carry on, even on bad days, and i believe that those in similar positions can help me most

    I accept all who want to add me - if I can help motivate them, then great :o)

    I don't know that you can block. I just take a chance and accept anyone but if I feel they don't support me as I do my friends, then I don't hesitate to delete. I am only going to surround myself with supportive people.....good luck on your journey!

    I guess you don't...I've had to delete a couple, they weren't bad as such but a tad too bossy in their approach and could be condescending if you didn't eat as clean as them.

    Use your instinct, if someone doesn't seem quite right just decline

    I just started here at the beginning of the week. I think everyone here has the same goal so hopefully we can encourage each other. I will send you a request. Welcome from one newbie to another!

    I accept anyone to be honest. I need all the support and motivation I can get sometimes. I've been here a while but only re-found my motivation this week so still have a lot to lose.

    I would Agree!! I normally accept anybody who sends a friend request , but as soon as they become inactive or not being supportive I let them go with the click of a button !!! but really have not had that problem with people not being supportive , just the inactive!! but best wishes to you on the site , it is soooo much fun and you will love it!!!:bigsmile:

    I accept anyone, no matter what. I think its great to have access to so many differing points of view.

    I accept them. I like to give everyone a chance. If after a couple of weeks, they are not consistently logging on, or giving support, I will delete them. I had to delete one today for offensive language. That might sound a little petty, but that's they way I am.

    Nope not petty at all, thank you so much! :)
