ETA - why does a person who claims exercise is unnecessary (a fact I know she endorses as I personally went round with her on this myself) have a certified athletic trainer on her "team"?

Kimkins Bootcamp requires exercise, and people do exercise on their own because they want to. She's there for those that choose to exercise.

I'd certainly NEVER become nasty when peeps asked to see a current pic...

No one has ever met her IRL. No one can vouch for her pics (before or afters).

Things that make you go hmmmm..............

I pretty much ignored her, gave her a wide berth because I didn't agree with 90% of the things she said and pressured people into doing. About a year ago I called her on one thing...one small thing, and she couldn't come up with a better come back than to comment on my using emoticons in my post. She tried to bring me down, but couldn't come up with one of her snappy answers. That was when I knew she wasn't listening to anyone but her ego.

I believe in common sense, and desperate, overweight females lack that when they hear they can lose 300 pounds in 60 seconds. She's definitely got the market cornered, but I have YET to hear from anyone who can continue to eat her way, without binging, cheating, feeling terrible, and keeping it off for years on end. Heck, even 6 months, before they go crazy and have a binge. When people post that they felt sick and guilty because they overdid it on vegetables at dinner-that is when a food plan like 'hers' is dangerous!

The longer it takes you to lose weight, the better you learn how to feed your body and mind. Do it quick, and you don't learn the steps to healthy eating for the rest of your life.

I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't behind this new Alli drug. Make people pooh, make million of dollars!

Heather, I SOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo Believe this. The reasons I never was interested in her plan is because I was anorexic and bulimic as a teen. That just seemed like the same thing to me.

I wanted to learn how to eat all over again and that is what I have done. Step by step. It's a life style and it's all about "choices".

I'm maintaining, but I sure as heck am not done learning. I'm still learning every day. The great thing about Low carb (when you go through all the steps) is that you truly learn about your own body and also your own "emotions" with food.

Cryssi · 07-03-2007, 05:00 PM

It was said earlier she left because she was mad they moved here threads from the Main Lobby, right?

I just found this Ask Kimmer! in the ask kimmer thread.

Again, hmmmmmm

Antigone · 07-03-2007, 05:03 PM

I must admit - I am following her plan. But it's so so hard and I don't know how I can live with 500 cal/day? The first week it was easy - I was enthusiastic - but it's my fourth week now, and I feel like I need to eat more. Yes she does not say eat like 500 cals a day, but from the Ask Kimmer thread it was obvious she meant the lower the calories the better.

I also feel that the pictures were not the same person, and I just find it strange why she wouldn't show herself when she supposedly looks that hot! I mean, hello, I keep on joking if I get to 130, I'd go malling in a bikini!

So, in the next installment, do we get to find out if she really is giving all the money to the foster kids?

Actually, he's pretty smart doing this in installments. I'm just saying...

I have looked for the answer to a question someone asked you, but I have not found your answer (I apologize in advance if you have answered the question) but have you met her KIMMER or whatever her name is IN Real LIFE?
TIA or after the fact

The lady responded back that wasn't photoshop but actually two different people on those pictures and Kimmer wrote back and told her so what if she used different pics.

She then should of posted her email... would of been helpful for all those who love her and trust her advice.

Wow Tooter, now I have to bookmark that and keep looking back. Did you read part I? I am very amazed that the women's world issue brought over $1 million in revenue to the website.

mrscapiii · 07-03-2007, 06:00 PM

This just makes me sad. I realize the people who are paying the money to join the site are grown women (or men) who can make their own decisions but still... It is an excerpt from a blog that is easy to spot if you google it.

Quote:

When I first came to the website, a couple of weeks ago I believe my first reaction to be honest was upset that it cost $59.95 to join. I thought ... where the hell am I going to come up with $60.00?

I was angry at knowledge coming at such a high price. What about the poor people I thought? What about the working poor people? I could buy the Atkins book for $12.00 hardcover and it doesn't cost nearly as high.

But Kimmer never gave up on me ... even when I sent her an email letting out my frustrations at the price the website charged to join. $60.00 may NOT seem like a lot to you folks, but it's grocery money for me, for a whole week, so YES, it was a LOT of money for me to dish out.

Kimmer wrote me back personally via email, never losing her cool and always patient and encouraging. Even offered me ways to make installment payments or have others join and I could join for free ... but I was too prideful to take her up on her offer.

Then on June 16th, 2007 I was checking the balance on my low credit limit credit cards and they said like $1.00 available credit, etc. Then I came on one credit card and the available limit was $66.00 and I was like ... oh my god! My first thought was ... okay you have UNexpected money on your card = go buy food.

My second thought was okay ... you have a choice: By more food that you will eat and flush out OR use your money wisely and invest in YOU and join Kimkins. Naturally I excitedly picked my second choice and joined immediately before I changed my mind LOL.

I dont know about the camera shy thing either. She is claiming how great her plan is and charging money for it and if she is really wanting to help people - you'd think she would be out meeting people, posting pics, maybe advice videos. You dont start a site, a biz to help people lose weight and then hide yourself away. But, then again I guess people still go for it. All this has really made me think... hmmm
