I don't know where the name came from but she took it and ran with it regardless.

She'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

This is the first time I've seen a thread about this topic, too. Can someone list a timeline of events? I'm confused. I used to be around way back when Kimmer was constantly giving her advice at LCF. And I thought Kimkins was a name made up by LCF members, named after Kimmer? But now Kimkins is a famous diet (I've read of celebrities doing Kimkins...)? Why did she go away? How did she get on a WW magazine? What started all of this picture controversy? I swear I'm not nosey...

She sure does, and YUP it was stated here. NOT BY HER.

Here plan was on the cover of womens world about a month ago, and the one and only before picture was in it... the one with the big sunglasses.

I CRY FOUL ON HER!

The cheetah print one looks like Paris Hilton's eyes and forhead to me (if she were 20 years older)

Bunny23 · 07-02-2007, 06:22 PM

Considering WW has a new diet on the cover of the magazine every week, im not too impressed.

The leopard-print shirt pic is the worst PhotoChop job I have ever seen, and no doubt it is the work of the magazine.

The eyes are literally painted, the right side (as you look at it) of the face has obviously been (badly) re-contoured, note the obvious crayon-like outline of the breast and faked air space between that breast and the arm.

elyseelyse · 07-02-2007, 06:41 PM

I wish I knew what to think actually. . . .she was always very sweet and genuine to me....

3Tsandme · 07-02-2007, 06:42 PM

I remember the excuses of no pictures. She said she was camera shy. I hate having my picture taken, but I still have more than a handful of pictures taken by friends and family or at a company event. sniff sniff I smell fraud.

faithgirl · 07-02-2007, 06:43 PM

People! People! Let's focus!

No. They cannot be her. I think the first 2 are her, and maybe the one where she is still big-there at the bottom. But the others-no way!

So the others were in the magazine, right? Could it be just a screw up on the magazine's part? Maybe they got the pics mixed up? I don't know...but it can't be her. And honestly-towards the end there before she left, it seemed like some of the details of her story were changing. Sorry I can't remember specifics, but I rememeber thinking, but I thought she said something else a few weeks ago...

I do professional makeup. I totally disagree.

it "aint" her - first two pics, yep - have been around for years and years and years....

starstar · 07-02-2007, 06:58 PM

I am kinda surprised, too, that the Atkins group hasn't gone after her for the name she has called her company. I would think that's a little too close to their own.

She can sell whatever service people are willing to buy. If she is saying "this worked for me, maybe it will work for you, send me $60" and someone sends her money, it's just business.

My point was only that I would not pay for something without some sort of experience to back it up. Her pictures are her "back up" and if idont believe they are her, then she has no credibility with me.

That was my point about her pics not looking right to me.

Psi · 07-02-2007, 07:04 PM

Crohnie did you finally put a real pic up????
i want proof!

Queeny · 07-02-2007, 07:08 PM

If you know anyone who has been in WW, several here from LCF, they will tell you that WW does substitute pictures of other people to make things look better and sell more copies.

That is crazy, (but not unbelievable) but..the pic of the red dress is on her website too....

CARLINI · 07-02-2007, 07:09 PM

i haven't read all the posts but something has always seemed a bit off to me

this is MY opinion but the woman is making millions off a crash diet, rip off of Atkins. ah screw it, i'm coming up with my own plan. Debkins

CarolinaRocker · 07-02-2007, 07:11 PM

Queeny · 07-02-2007, 07:11 PM

shelby it is crazy I agree.....but those are the facts plain and simple

just like reality shows are rigged too
