    My ads are for protein powder, travel, and running clothes. Those are the things I google on a regular basis, so I think it has to do with your internet searches.

    my ads are for clothes.

    stop googling hamburgers and you'll stop getting those ads ;)

    i'm totally kidding, but the ads are based off of what you search for online.

    It may be annoying but I look at it as they are paying for the site so we don't have to; i will gladly be annoyed any day to keep the site free ;)

    I keep getting the ad for "Sonoma Diet", with the nice, big glass filling up with red wine. Hmmm..... Do you think it peeks at your food diary?!!

    I'm pretty sure the ads are Google ads, and google ads generally appear as it fits the content written on the page. It could be anything really. Whatever anyone writes about.

    I must say that I have not noticed any. Except that big banana. I must be so into what everyone has to say on here that my eyes are just on what I am reading and entering on my food list. However... Try and ignore it all if you can, because no matter how annoying or un-motivational it is... it's because of this that we are getting this site for FREE. I can hardly believe that something so good for us is free.. Most people would be making money off of this. So to the people who started this FREE site I thank you from the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU and ((((((BIG HUGS))))))
