Do you feel guilty about chopping friends from your MFP list? Does anyone else do this..... I go through my list once a week to see if there logging in, if their not, they get chopped! If we become friends and we dont interact with each other within 2weeks, they get chopped! I never add people for the fun of it to have a big list, im deadly serious about losing weight and acheiving my goals and only want like minded people around me. I think this is the reason I have a small number of friends, but they are top friends who want to see success! am I to hardline? Does anyone else feel the this way regarding their friends list? Thanks in advance.

    If someones obviously disappeared (not logged in for 2 months or something) I'll happily drop them. Aside from that I want to see what people are doing and what is working for others, even if no overt interaction is taking place.

    Thats a fair comment, thanks for your reply, these are the opinions I want to hear.

    Personally I don't get so serious over my friends list

    I'm generally supportive of people's efforts to lose the excess baggage and get fit. I don't expect the same back from those who're on my friends list, but the occasional comment on what I'm doing or my updates would be nice. I chop those who haven't logged for months without a reason (a few on my list are pregnant or new Mums) or haven't bothered to say a word to me other than request friendship and no I don't feel any guilt for it.

    I chop friends from my list if there is no interaction on their part so basically a one sided friendship and if they clog my news feed with their personal problems I.e. boyfriend/girlfriend, ex husband/wife, in-laws etc or basically overtly seeking sympathy for the sake of seeking sympathy (see a counsellor). This is not Facebook but a site where we support and encourage each other in our journey to lose weight and get healthy. Sorry I might seem a bit harsh but that"s how I roll.

    I've been chopped off a list because I was on holidays for 2 weeks... I don't think that's fair. I notified it on my status, so they didn't even make the effort to check why I was not logging in.
    I decided to chop people who don't log in for an entire year without a reason. I know I'm quite nice on that period of time, but that's me.

    I think you're quite hard on this, but as we're not friends, I don't mind ;-)
