The insane number of ads for all the "lose weight quick" schemes that pop up on the sides and top of MFP? I kind of find it funny that here we are trying to do things the right way, and the site has a stoopid ad that pops up telling you about a way to lose weight by popping a pill or by trying a new drink or something totally off the wall...kinda ironic...

    The ads I see are the one quick trick to a tiny belly with the incredible shrinking line drawing woman!

    They are rather ironic but when I signed up for myfitnesspal I never thought of it as a 'health' site, I saw it as a 'lose weight' site...

    hmmm I don't have those adds. I have one for clinical hypnotherapy, a UK calorie counter and Weight Watchers right now, but no shrinking woman :smile:
