You've GOT to be kidding me!

Wow that was fast and she didn't waste anytime! When she first started her website she said that "anything goes". We could ask questions, post links, blah blah blah. It sure changed didn't it?

I am proud of you for speaking up! Hopefully other members saw this transpire before she deleted your post.

Kim
So here’s the response I got from Kimkins re my request as to why I cannot log in. Kimmer herself responded as follows:

Hi Kim,

In view of your unhappiness with Kimkins, we’ve closed your account. We wish you the best.

Kimmer

Ticket Details
===================
Ticket ID: DPT-701319
Department: Membership & Payments
Priority: Low
Status: Closed

Now, contrary to what I was accused of somewhere else on here, I NEVER posted anything negative on the Kimkins site. I responded to Heidi that I was promised a lifetime membership and an e-book, now I have neither, so I expect a full refund through Paypal immediately. I know, good luck right?
"Ticket Details"? Now that's new! How did she know you were unhappy - just because you asked about the lifetime membership and e-book? Doesn't sound like a valid reason to me. Now you can join my club! I even wrote an e-mail to her about coming clean and "just clear this mess up once and for all". Never got a response ..... she just kept sending me her newsletters.... after I was banned!

Good for you on the chicken wings ..... but why not a nice juicy steak? I wonder how many others were banned this evening.

Absolutely..

Billy Graham said, "When one man (woman) stands up for what is right, other men's (women's) spines stiffen"..or words to that effect. But, it's true..

You can't ban a paid member without refunding their money! You just can't do that!

Maybe I'll set up a website, con a whack of people, and just ban them and take their money when they piss me off.

I know this is none of my business but since you are so metabollically challenged, that's even more of a valid reason for you to not follow kimkins. You are only supressing it. I believe that you can re-set it. That's just my .02.

Heidi thinks she can! She has no morals! Some people got their money back and others didn't. Doesn't make sense to me!

No you don't want to set up a website - we've got some real detectives here that do an unbelievable job at getting to the bottom of everything. Not a good idea

Yes, you can and Heidi wrote the book on it! She's been banning left and right all day and my paypal account still says $0.00

You are really funny! You sound like my mother - she'll remember every refund she never received.... OMG I thought she was the only one on this earth that was like that! Thank you for making me laugh!

According to my sources it's still up and business as usual...any questionable (or questioning) post quickly disappears.

because so many people there just stay in their journals and the journals of their friends w/o venturing outside into the rest of the forum, someone was going through and posting links to the kimkinsexposed site on EVERY journal!

trotting along right behind her was someone trying to delete the links before they were discovered.

can you imagine what fun that was?

I can still log on, but posts are being deleted at the speed of light over there. I have to say "Bravo!" to KimPossible for debating like a champ, but they are still lining up to drink the Koolaid. I feel like a MORON!

This needs to be screamed from the rooftops! It should not be buried.

Not just for Fluffy, but for everyone who is trying to live off of 800-1000 calories per day, or less. Especially if you are at 235 pounds.

Fix your metabolisms. Don't just give up and say "it's because of my age" or "because I can't exercise", etc. That's not true. It's because you've not eaten properly for many years. I'll bet at least 90% of the women on this board have screwed up our metabolisms at one point in our lives. It's called yo-yo dieting. It happens! Please stop the cycle. Please.

Well think about it - people in California have to sleep sometime...... just get up very early in the morning (eastern time) and post links all over the website...... sounds like a plan to me!

Hey does anyone know how to upgrade my "refresh" icon on my laptop?
