So, use my experience now as a word of caution about just how much of your life you do put out there and share with people as you never know just who is reading do you.

I've trusted and shared too much over the years. Now I don't trust and won't share.
I think that's a smart move, Kim!

I am glad you posted here... lots of people here really care about you!!! I wish I could help... I definitely know that feeling... I have been betrayed by a sociopath myself and it is a strange sick feeling of shock. I will never understand how people can do this to others...

Maybe she is trying to come up with a way to remove it....maybe slowly into multiple accounts. She has lots of names she has gone by so maybe she is setting up bank accounts to syphon it off into.

Just catching up so pardon me if this has been mentioned but um...

They suspect fraud And that's all I'm gonna say about that. Also They refers to the Irs and Paypal.

KimATC, I am sorry you were scammed by a "friend". I think that hurts the most because we choose our friends and when we find out they are not what we thought they were, it shatters our faith in our own judgement.

How you're feeling right now say a whole lot more about you than it does her - it speaks volumes about who you are and your integrity and emotional well-being....she's a manipulator and banks on people being like you - NORMAL - who trust others at their word, who don't question things told to them, who expect others are like them - NORMAL - and do to others as they do. Heidi ain't that - she's IMO a sociopath who relies on people being inately trusting......and she plays people on that......you're totally right to feel like your trust and faith has been squashed - she did just that - but remember, for what it's worth, the vast majority of people are just like you, trusting, kind and try to do the right thing and be good to others.

Don't let her pathology make you lose faith in real people!

I also have no doubt that this woman committed all crimes that have been dug up, but I'm beginning to doubt that Heidi Diaz and Brandon are the real names for these people.

It's just that con artists tend to stay under the radar as much as possible and spending years on a website like this giving out all of this personal information just doesn't seem like the actions of an experienced scam artist. Unless, of course, that Heidi Diaz really isn't her name.

My name isn't Elloise. Not that I've done anything wrong. But I am from Wisconsin!
If she's the seasoned con artist as alleged, then she's used to getting away with it.....she thinks she's untouchable because she's not been held accountable before. That's coming to an end now.....

I have her SS# written on a legal document written by her. I would be interested if she used the same SS# number for her buisness. NO, I would NEVER post it.

It was just posted that she has a habit of using other SS# and that is the only reason I brought this up. If she used different numbers that would be a very serious crime. All of the documents that I have read are PUBLIC records so I'm not doing anything wrong. There is information on past jobs and other things. I'm sure most of you have found it by now.

I have just spent the last 8 days at my kitchen table with my neighbor letting her read this thread. She has a 13 yr old daughter that was doing KK and so were a few of her friends. You should have seen their faces when they saw the "real photos". So she now understands the dangers of doing this kind of diet. The mother doesn't have a computer so I have printed many things out for her and gave her about five books. She really wasn't aware of this diet until I showed her.

Thank you ALL .....she read your words and is informed now.
A couple more young girls saved and a mother that knows what to watch for in her childs eating habits. She has already informed the othe parents.

Hi KimATC,

I wish I could give you a hug if you are the one. I am so greatful for your experience. It helped me to brake the mind set of alot of these diets.


I relapsed after starting you plan last year but it was not the plans fault. It seemed so magical I did not really grab hold intellectually. I was so emotionally high on the progress I made. I lost most of the fat I wanted but still could not believe it. I was caught in a really weird state of being. Than I got a really physically demanding job and through not planning found I was eating the some of the same bad foods I had purged. Not completely though and some fat came back but not as bad as it had been. It was different. In many ways I had broke some bad habits for ever. For example. I maintained a good protein intake. When I did eat frivalious carbs I could only stand homemade items. The processed food was gone from my diet for ever. I had lost the stomache fat and it did not return.

Well I am back on and saw this thread and was really shocked. I realized much of the negative was from people who did not really understand the break through you have discovered. I always remember the Sister Kenny Story in situations like this.

Well it was good to hear from you and I won' t stumble blindly this time. Besides I was enjoying all my size 4 and five clothes too much to fall to far.

With regard to why she would use her real name:

Can ya'll step back a moment and realize SHE DIDN'T. Her real name was uncovered here by several sleuths. She gave the first name here, middle there and last over there. They were all put together. Heidi was until a few days ago Kimmer. She used her son's name because she thought no one would be the wiser.

Now that all the smart and wonderful ladies on here got together it's been uncovered. However, she never admitted to being Heidi, we all got that info from being detectives. So..in answer to your "why would a master mind mess up like that...." She didn't, she messed up by not shutting up.

Partly because they feel invincible, partly because they believe their own lies and feel they're doing nothing wrong.

KimATC feels betrayed by Kimmer.

If you think the "beat down" on Kimmer's plan was undeserved, I strongly suggest you read the 300+ pages of this thread.

Kimmer's plan and advice have proven to have dangerous side effects. That is the main point if you choose to overlook the fact that Kimkins founder is morbidly obese and has lied about it for years.

Realizing that now but the thread did open with a negative slant towards Kimmers and I wanted to give my support for the plan. I did say I wasn't sure if it was her. I just did not have the time to go through all 300+.

Hurray for Kimmer's Plan

maybe you should continue reading.....and find out "why" this thread really exists.

Kimmer herself couldnt stick to her "plan" yet she tells everyone she has maintained her loss for 6 years and is making alot of money as a "thin" person when in fact she is far from it.

Right. And she didn't even give Women's World her correct name (although Christian and Deni did).

ok, it's stories like this that remind me why we're so intent on seeing kimmer stopped...this was left in a comment on becky's blog:

I, along with some other members, attempted to help a woman who was clearly suffering from an eating disorder. This woman was unable to go an entire day without binging and purging. In addition, she also constantly complained of unrelenting hunger. I felt in my heart that if she could have a few successful days eating proper low carb (eating lean protein until satisfied) plus lots of support, she could get into ketosis, her hunger would diminish, and she could get beyond the ED. She kept trying to get by with eating some ridiculously small amount of food like 3 hard-boiled eggs for an entire day. I, and others, told her to eat more protein (she was still complaining of being hungry). One day, the scale went up instead of down and she freaked. She went to Kimmer and told her that all of us were telling her to eat more and because of us, she gained weight. You can guess Kimmer's response. EAT LESS. YOU WERE RIGHT. EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG. Eat less than 3 hard boiled eggs? You've got to be kidding! That right there was the green light for this woman to continue with her eating disorder, secure in the fact that she had Kimmer's blessing.
