Why the fascination with Kimmer? - Page 401

KarenG · 09-12-2007, 11:18 AM

Here is the major thing that Kimmer misses about excersise. You don't just excersise to lose weight....you also need exercise for FITNESS. To be a FIT and HEALTHY person!!!

She is so full of it, it just disgusts me.

Sorry. beg to differ. Mine is kaput after dabbling only a short while in Kimkins.

Yeah and by the looks of it so is someone elses. Sheesh, the advice she gives is moronic. But I'm sad because most people don't treat dieting like it's their job. I do/did. That's why I'm here. I wanted to find out every possible thing I could about Atkins, and boy have I learned things...things that help.

RenoMom · 09-12-2007, 11:37 AM

Okay I have been trying top keep up here. I personally never did Kimkins, but I want to chime in on the whole Foster Care thing. I have been a Foster parent since 2001 and here are the rules.

You have to have 200 sq feet for person living in your home, for example if you have a 1000 sq ft home you can have 5 people living there. This counts yours and Foster Kids total.
There is a limit of 6 kids unless you run a group home. They count rooms in your house not just bedrooms. So If you have a 3 bedroom home, plus living room, family room. It would be considered 5 rooms. Children of the same sex may share a room and all beds need to be 36 inches apart. Bunks are okay but kids only 8 and up may sleep there.
If you dont own a home you can foster in an apartment but you need to get it in writing from the apt complex first. You must get FBI checks and Local police checks cleared 1st. Also complete 40 hours of training and home checks. You need 5 references and you can get a waiver if you have a police report but it didnt involve children. You do get paid depending on the county your in the rate veries. It can be as much as 30.00 a day and as little as 22.00 per day.

Remember her DIL says she has not seen her in over 5 years o thats when the money was probably borrowed from her. Also she says she "heard" that she has 2 Foster kids.
The County in which she lives in Will tell you this info. If she just moved they would not be able to take these kids with them in such short notice, the kids would be placed else where. HTH

I am sooo close to my goal now. I am approaching 130. My pregnancy high was 213 in early January. My goal is somewhere between 112 and 116 (I'm 5'1). I have been doing Kimkins and M/E fast plus 2 workouts daily. I pretty much have no appetite. Here is today's fitday.

grams cals %total
Total: 392
Fat: 12 109 28%
Sat: 3 28 7%
Poly: 2 21 5%
Mono: 4 39 10%
Carbs: 3 11 3%
Fiber: 0 0 0%
Protein: 68 270 69%
Alcohol: 0 0 0
At what point do I add in more veggies? My loss has been very steady. I averaged 1lb per day.

Kimmer: I think you're set to add veggies now! Your protein is very good (not too much). So long as you're not dousing anything in salad dressing or butter, eat up!"

This woman was eating 392 calories in a day!!!! Her advice? Add some veggies but no fat. WTH?!?!?! Her advice should have been "GO TO YOUR DOCTOR NOW AND START EATING SOME MORE HEALTHY FOOD! YOUR CALORIES ARE WAY TOO LOW."

omg, not only was she eating only 392 calories a day, but she was working out 2x a day on top of that. Yes, this is an example of Kimkins being "distorted"... but I have to notice who's encouraging the "distortion" - Kimmer. And, how many months had she gone without veggies before it was okay to add them back in??

You know, I have to admit, I used to really consider doing Kimkins because I wanted to lose the weight and lose it fast, and would see LCF members losing so great and so fast. (I really had no idea some of their calories were that low) Unfortunately (or fortunately), I like to eat too much

and have been around long enough to see that the people who've been successful at losing, keeping the weight off and still eating a great number of calories without fear of fat, are who I'd like to grow up to be like: Allie, Julia, Fawn, SugarFreeSheila, Palegirl, Cutie, and a TON of others. Low carb rocks!

Fitday says that my average calorie intake for the week is 1140 and 3% of that is from carbs (darn those eggs and tea). I'm definitely feeling SNATT. Yesterday the cal count was under 900, and today I'm sitting around 450.

No answer from Kimmer.

Divabunny · 09-12-2007, 11:45 AM

And for all we know the two supposed foster kids might have just been friends of the son. Heidi might have just told the ex that they were foster kids. Whether or not she had foster kids in the last 5 years is still up in the air. I think at one point she did but I'm sure it was more for the monthly check than out of the goodness of her heart

On the foster kids issue, I've heard lots of time people say they have foster kids when they just mean extra kids they've taken in--not formal foster kids. That may be why the confusion with Heidi's claims. Maybe she just took in some extra kids. But she implied that they were formal foster kids when she said she needed money for them as they were turning 18 and needed transition money. So I'm not sure we can give her the benefit of the doubt.

wifezilla · 09-12-2007, 11:52 AM

I have a tiny friend who was a double d until last week. You don't fall over, but you sure do get big dents in your shoulders along with neck and back problems.

I thought she had a breast lift or reduction... can't remember.

missis36 · 09-12-2007, 11:55 AM

It didn't take.....

Kidding, she lied about everything guys. I can't believe one single thing that has come out of her keyboard. We have proof that she's a liar, I mean if she had foster kids CASA would know about it. And they don't, so that means even if she did it and lied about her name, she's still in a large pile o' dookie.

CarolynF · 09-12-2007, 11:58 AM

Okay..let's face it..Kimmer is a professional scam artist. She has been for many years and she was many years ago when she first came to LCF's..

She was a scam artist then and her stupid Ask Kimmer thread is full of scamming lies. She was out to scam all of us by pretending to lose weight and denegrating everyone who did not agree with her crazy ideas.

Personally, I think the name of KIMKINS should be scrubbed from the face of the earth. It is a fraudulent plan built by a scam artist and does not even deserve to be mentioned.

Who would follow a diet plan contrived by a criminal? Sure, it works, but starvation always works and the results of the damage done to bodies may not show up for years.

After this whole investigation or whatever is happening is over, I'm hoping LCF's will take off the name Kimkins from its site. LCF's is a site with integrity and to allow the name of Kimkins to even exist here, tarnishes its reputation.

Face it, we have all been scammed!!!

RenoMom · 09-12-2007, 12:01 PM

She is correct on one thing. Children "aging out" of the system are left to their own devices. DCFS here is trying to get some half way houses going but there isnt much on that front. Now a good Foster parent takes the time to help these kids, they can get a job at 16 and start saving money. Also she was receiving money for their care. A decent Foster Parent would be putting this away for those children. There are many organizations that donate, food. clothes, dishes etc and even help educate those kids turning 18. Especially Special Needs Children. These are the ones I have had. (For the record Ive had 16 in the last 5 years, always 5 at a time. Currently I have one and she will be adopted by us on Nov17th)

For the poster that mentioned different agencies... They are out there we started out wiht one, but they all have to report to the state. Yet her payments will come from the agency she signed with. The rules are all the same oh unless they are sever( The kids that is) Then she can only have two at a time. (They are called Theraputic Care)

Actually CASA would not know necessarly. If she was a CASA she was a volunteer that worked with Foster children in others homes. Courts often appoint CASA'S to Foster children they are considered a "voice for the children"
Kind of like a Big Brother Program. They are not paid all are volunteers and Foster kids do not live with them. A few of my kids had CASA's (2 I think) the rest did not.

CASA = Court Appointed Special Advocate.

Did she claim to be a CASA or a Foster Parent? She could NOT do both

missis36 · 09-12-2007, 12:06 PM

I love reading the bbb reviews. My personal Fav. If you don't believe me go to kimkins.com and research it yourself (they neglect to mention that you would have to BUY a membership in order to do so) So that was clearly from Heidi.

Again....if you've left the site and you've seen the light please go to the bbb site and edit your review to show it's negative now. Thank you.

Why couldn't she do both? I know nothing about these issues. Anyway, here she says she's both in ONE post.

Mzflowers, thank you so much. Being a foster mom is the job I've loved the most, including my previous corporate life. There's a satisfaction in watching these guys lives change, blossom, take new directions (i.e., former gang members) that I wouldn't get in traditional 8-5 jobs ... well, unless maybe I was a juvenile probation officer, LOL.

I think volunteerism is important. I think everyone should give something back (OK, I borrowed that from my boss who assigned me to coordinate the United Way campaign that year).

Even when life has been very hard financially, I still had it better than 95% of the people living in poverty and I don't forget it. I've been dirt poor. I know how to do poor and I'm not afraid of it whereas people who have never been could have a hard time, especially mentally.

I'm a volunteer CASA worker (advocate for children in court) and during one training session we had to answer a series of questions, "Would you know how to ...." and they were sorted by low-income, middle class and well-to-do categories. I could answer all of the low-income, most of the middle class and only a few of the well-to-do (questions about the social registry, foreign bank accounts, best hotels in Zurich). The purpose is sensitivity to the circumstances of others. Everyone was amazed at how little they knew about other "classes" (for lack of a better word).

Where am I going with this? LOL, I think I lost my point ...

She is currently claiming to be BOTH, though the CASA office says she's hasn't served as a CASA for several years..

So... if she WAS a CASA several years ago.. then she couldn't have had foster children at the same time?

so maybe when she said it was the boys' "social worker" day, she was helping foster boys "belonging" to someone else?

Okay 1st of all being a Foster parent is not "volunteerism" you get paid! CASA are not paid and our volunteers. I honestly think maybe she was a CASA a long time ago. Like the lasy at the CASA office said, years ago she was. The training she mentioned is CASA not Foster Training.

As for being a Foster Parent, you are not a volunteer and you are not usually getting these "Gang childrens lifes turned around" Im sorry I dont buy it, I dont believe she ever Fostered in the State of California. Easy to tell call the Apt compex and see if they approved it? Not many compexs willing want Gang Bangers living there, there is nothing in it for them.
