hi
does anyone else keep their friends list to around 30? i find anymore than this and i can’t keep up with comments and support. sometimes i delete people who have not logged in for a couple of weeks, this is only after i’ve sent them a little note to see if they are alright, i’ve just done this today for 4 people as well as comment on others profiles, anymore than this and i think i just becomes impersonal, i then replace these people so i always keep it at around 30. i knew some of you leave lots and lots of messages for different people but i can only dedicate so much time in a day to this task. what are your thoughts on this?

I've currently got about 100 and I struggle to keep track.
I find it much harder with my US friends who post at times when I'm less active but I have a quick run through my friends each week and check up on those I;ve not seen about for a while.
I've lost a few recently (I think I upset a couple and I'm not too bothered about that).0 -
i think i only have 1 american friend and she’s nice, but i quickly clicked on when i started that i should consciously try and have uk friends only, mainly because of the time difference and supporting each other, as lets face it we all need some of that xxI've currently got about 100 and I struggle to keep track.

When I first joined I was desperate for friends (Billy No Mates!), so added lots. I'm now around 100+, but I do enjoy motivating when I can and, if I'm honest, getting motivated in return, so this isn't an onerous number. I'm not too concerned about posting on everyone's activity daily and I don't think they expect it. I don't comment on food diaries, but I will cheer on good exercise postings and weight loss posts.
Generally speaking I enjoy posting here and receiving comments on my posts. More so than Facebook!0 -
I try to post encouraging comments on as many of my friends updates as possible, however I get frustrated when I get no support back from certain people and the relationship remains completely one sided and I have a mini cull every now and again. I don't take it personally, people have a large number of friends and some you click with more than others, that's life. But I do have majority UK friends, just 3 or 4 US friends, 1 of whom I do keep in touch with pretty well on here through messages and a 5lb loss per month informal challenge forum thread.0
