Hi Mike,

Great site. love it.

There's one thing that really bothered me though. When I signed on yesterday, there was an ad on top of the page for the 5 foods you should not eat. It was an ad for fatbellysolution.com and they were very persuasive in their ad and talked all about NOT counting calories, following a diet, measuring things, etc... I found this very counter productive to your site. It made me wonder why you would allow that kind of ad on your page, which I hoped was not just for profit. It was disappointing.

By the way, I found the same ad (fatbellysolution) with a different name and a similar website with a similar video. That was also very disconcerting. Whatever name fits the bill is how they market their product. I don't think you should allow them to advertise on your website for the sake of your readers.

Thanks

I'm new too.....just joined yesterday trying to make myself accountable for re-losing 10-12 pounds (six of which were gained during the holidays).

Good luck to you!
