Oh well, everything else about this site is awesome, esp the app on my iPhone, but I'll lose the weight mfp- lose the ice-cream ad, lol2172572.png

    I've read that ads are generated from your history/cookie (what you search). I've never had junk food on mine. Currently my ad is for BODYMEDIA FIT

    I get either Bobbi Brown makeup or Groupon food offers. I much prefer the makeup ads, 70% off on burgers, pizza etc is really not kind :P

    I get ads for Ouidad hari stuff (for curly hair) and New England Business College. Hmmm... think I have curly hair and am headed back to school? LOL

    Skinny cow ice cream and quit smoking ads. I don't smoke... does that mean I can have more ice cream?

    Yeah I am getting the "daily deals" ads, and yesterday it was for cupcakes... big cupcakes LOADED with icing!

    I was drooling over this image as I was entering in how much brocolli I had for lunch... depressing.

    There may be a little truth to the "cookie" thing. When I am really craving something bad, pizza hut chicken wings or something, I go to the website and look at the nutritional information and that ususally cures it.... well as long as I dont' look at the pictures. haha So I do sometimes get the Pizza Hut ads on here but mostly it's Jenny Craig, Ancestry.com and LA weight loss.

    I get ads for Sprint (we use Verizon), computer ads (my hubby is a computer guru that owns his own computer business), fresh foods ads (I look up fresh food recipes & deals), back pain & pain management ads (we both have back & hip problems), weight-loss surgery ads (both overweight & we both use MFP!).

    So I guess it really does go off your cookies! (Mmmm... cookies. LOL) Thankfully, it doesn't advertise things I can't eat!
