Tyna (Heidi's oldest son's ex girlfriend) contacted me while I was sleeping as well as Jeanessa. She wanted you to know that she does not want any links to her myspace posted here because she does not want to be harrassed, so if you posted that address please edit and delete it. She would like to help us out, because she wants to she Heidi brought to justice. If she can think of anything else, she will contact the original people with whom she has been messaging. She's a very nice lady and we should give her a break.

There aren't any links here to Dennis Sharp's myspace. But people can easily look him up by name and find Tyna.....

Thanks AllieCat. I wasn't sure where I had seen the link, if it was here or the other forum, but Tyna had seen the link and she was worried.

Hello,

I'm sorry but the Kimkins lifetime membership program is electronic media and non-refundable.

You've had access to the Kimkins program including the diet, diet variations, food lists, grocery lists, weight loss resource links, recipe files, community support forums and certified athletic trainer for months.

If you don't want to take advantage of the support and challenge groups, you'll still get outstanding results from the diet working on your own. You may wish to take the diet and food lists to your doctor for personalization.

Best regards,



Go figure.

I'm sure they have no idea their names are public but working on her site - they have to have read the website and uncovered that she had lied about her weight, etc. They aren't blind and I would imagine if they are not involved they would certainly question her about how she has portrayed herself - wouldn't you think?

I think that Brandon may be aware of what Heidi is doing because he posted to a friend that he was working for Kimkins doing computer work for $10. an hour. As for Dennis, how do we know that he was really the one that did the press release? Heidi could have just used his name. From what the PI said, only Brandon and Heidi lived in the apartment, so maybe Dennis is on the up and up and has a job and nothing to do with this.

Geez you guys...wait up! I go and do real life stuff for a bit and zooom---I am on page 401 but this reads like a novel, so....

I just have to say this, announce it, whatever. It may have been said but it is worth repeating if it has. I have held off saying this but by God, I am done treading lightly with my opinion on this:

If YOU are helping that woman maintain that site in any way, shape or form: admin, tech person, whatever, YOU ARE PERPETUATING A SCAM. You aren't helping the posters--you are helping KIMMER and the best thing you can do for the members is GET AWAY FROM KIMMER and take the members WITH YOU.

There are plenty of sites to take yourself, your help, the members to. Find one and DO IT.

How else can I say that?

Not necessarily. If they were raised in a home where scamming was normal, this might be the mother lode they had always watched her work for. They could actually be proud and behind her all the way.

Not that I want to incriminate them. They certainly could be innocent bystanders, but I just get this feeling that they're not. At least not Brandon since he seems to be living with her. And yet I feel sorry for him because he's only a little younger than my kids are and I know how my kids depend on me and DH for stability. He probably doesn't get much of that.

Some people also have a serious disconnect when it comes to the Internet. Since it's all "virtual", it doesn't fully connect with them that this is real life and that they are hurting people.

This was exactly the response I received. I joined when it was 14.95 just to see what all the hype was about. Was only in the site a couple of time. Electronic media and non refundable is a bunch of crap.

I know. We respectfully ask that you leave Tyna alone. She's in contact with me, Missi and Leashy and that is enough.

If you have a question for her, ask one of us and we will contact her. She's being very helpful and we definitely should respect that.

Violaters, please know, it's not a good thing to get on my bad side

That's reallly not smart. I went all over the other day asking people to stop using her name and link and ducky removed it as did a few others. But who the hell is doing this? If you are getting info over here that some of us worked pretty hard to get (you know she didn't have to talk to any of us) don't go posting it everywhere it will just end up messing things up. Sheesh.

This is also why I asked folks to stop contacting her unless you were already communicating with her. Someone coming in on the tail end of this and just deciding to email out of curiosity can mess it up as well. That stinks!

Yeah What Jeanessa said!!!

Jeanessa, I definitely don't want to get on your bad side just wanted you to know that I think I was the first to contact Tyna and I PM'd Missi to let her know. Tyna had already sent me one message before I posted the next one here. Just to let you know that I didn't contact her after you. We have exchanged a number of messages, and I think she really wants to help us.

There were 4 of us total it seems, who she began chatting with. She is a really nice woman caught up in an ugly mess. That's all we really wanted to convey, and Binsk is right she did contact her However I win the prize for first contact FROM her hahah. Kidding.

I'm sorry to hear this

These low calorie intakes scare me! I lose at least 2 pounds a week at 2500, with high or low carbs. I'm just under 250, so I guess that's part of it. But still, I can't imagine being that low in cals.

Liquid Web is also the organization responsible for the Backups. This is where your Attorney would want to start in making sure that the existing info is secured.
