Can't answer your questions, just wanted to say

Does anyone know the status of the Ducky countdown? By my estimation we are a few days past Blastoff Day. Any idea what the big event was supposed to be?

On the Ducky thing..Who knows? Originally he estimated 30 days, then he said 10 days.. so, we are thinking he is back to 30 days..which probably means about 14 or 15 days left. We don't know if this is going to be a BIG BANG or just a chiselling away of the Kimpire..No one knows..

think health people...think health

The only ones Kimmer (heidi) is helping here are the myriad of oncologists out there. This type of malnutrition does in fact damage cells which breeds cancer. I do hope everyone gets out of there safe

You look great Jackie!! Love your new Avi

This was on another board..Someone was posting this at the Kimpire and watch the responses..Not so nice:

Nice person trying to help:
I'm an expert of my own situation. I joined this website after I read Kimmer's story in Woman's World. She stated that she had lost a huge amount of weight and has kept it off. That is a lie. I did not follow the plan to extreme. I lost weight but I also felt dizzy and nauseated all the time. I watched my friend at work go through the same thing while following the plan. If you could put up with the fact that people have misrepresented themselves and have banned people from the sight for having their own opinions, that's fine it's your personal moral barometer you have to follow. But common sense just has to tell you that eventually this way of eating is going to ruin your body. I know, your body, your life. I just hate to see so many ruining their health. You may not see it now but it will happen.

Response #1:
Geeze....... if you are so concerned about other people step away from the computer.

No kidding. There's nothing worse than a member of the 101st Fighting Keyboardists engaging in the fantasy that they are going to save people with their words.

Go picket a Krispy Kreme or a Pizza Hut. Lie down in the road in front of the Frito Lay fleet of trucks. Do a sit -in at Ben Jerry's.

Response #2
ummmmmmmmm new flavor @ Ben Jerry's

AntiKimkinsLardButtCrunch

I'll have a large cup of that along with some crow tongue.gif

Response #3
[The] last time I went in there Ben Jerry weren't behind the counter and they they didn't scoop the ice cream out of a churn that they had turned by hand themselves...if they don't do that how can they call it their ice cream?

It should be called Surly Pimplely Faced Teenager With An Ill Fitting Uniform Ice Cream

I think you'll agree that that kind of rudeness is not uncommon. And they talk about the LCF people as if they are the mean ones who have nothing better to do than bash Kimmer.

And Kimmer talks about keeping the "negative nancies" away? Seems that she allows plenty of negativity as long as its in her support... figures. lol

I tell you, this is than any soap opera I have ever seen...I'm glued with suspense!

I just have to laugh about her change of tune, like no one will remember her old advise. She probably figures that since she has her followers not caring about the real Heidi then her past comments will be overlooked too.

Well I maintain that the folks over there with the ugly attitudes, are angry and rude like that because they are HUNGRY. I know I'm an absolute beast when I'm under 1000 calories. It's that type of attitude that shines through and that's the type of person (collectively) I'd expect to be there still after all of the info has come out.

If you haven't already, please visit Ducky's, Kimkins Controversy or Kimkins Dangers if you want in on the lawsuit. This is kind of your last chance to get in on the ground level, so to speak. So....

speak now...or, I guess, speak softer a little later

Is that like the hungry horrors?

Someone over there posted a question asking what was going on, because she was away from the boards for a while and she was concerned because people like Deni and Christin were gone. One of the KK followers responded with:

"I personally think you are another mole considering you have only 4 post listed. So maybe no one should say anything. Go around and read all the other posts and you can find otu for yourself. It is just a bunch of grumpies trying to make trouble."



Niiiiiiiiiiiice!

Another Kimkinsite is abandoning the ship! I think this is a GREAT post by the way. Good for her

From KK site:
Quote:
I left Kimkins almost 2 months ago. I come back into the site occasionally because I met some lovely people here that I truly came to care about and I like to check on them and make sure they are okay, but today will be the last time. I can’t bear to come here again. I feel like I am wading through a sewer now when I come here in light of what we have all learned about Kimmer. I’m sorry if that’s harsh but it’s just how I feel. So many people have been hurt by Kimmer either emotionally/physically or both. The latest heartbreaking casualty was KimATC. She has been utterly devastated by Kimmer’s treatment of her.

I have debated long about posting this. I know what’s going through your minds…Oh another “hater”. I can hear you telling me to get a life, You’re just jealous, If you don’t like KK, get out and leave us alone”. Well I have a wonderful life and no I am definitely not jealous. I’m writing this as a last ditch effort to reach you. For no other reason than I care deeply about what happens to all of you. It’s just a matter of time before someone dies from this diet, and I could never forgive myself if I hadn’t done everything I could to reach you.

I have been stunned by so many people’s defense of Kimmer. I have nothing much to say to someone who defends a liar and a fraud. So I’ll move on.
I have read over and over so many people saying “ I don’t care who Kimmer is and I don’t care that she lied…the diet works” People like Osusana and many others claim they are here to help the people on this site. They want to stay in their challenges and groups and keep supporting each other. And I can so understand that. There are some truly incredible, caring and wonderful people here. Many of you are probably not really even following Kimkins anymore and have opted to eat healthier, but stay here to support their friends and maybe even advise them to up their calories or fat a bit. I was tempted to do that myself.

But this is what I realized and all of you need to think about this. By staying here for any reason …all of you are helping to legitimize and give credibility to a site that was created for NO OTHER PURPOSE than to scam people out of their money. She created a very dangerous, false crash diet that she didn’t even follow herself. The site is being kept running for NO OTHER PURPOSE than to scam more people out of their money.
Many of you feel very badly for how Becky, Deni, Christen and KimATC were treated by Kimmer, but as long as this place exists another Deni or KimATC is walking unsuspecting this farce. Newbies are still signing up every day. By staying here and supporting this site and/or it’s creator you are leaving the door open for more people to get hurt or worse.

Whether you are willing to realize it, there has been a mass exodus of KK members leaving and finding wonderful new homes on other Low Carb sites. I have travelled around a few and I have watched as many have reconnected with friends. You can still continue to support your friends in one of these places…in a non-toxic environment. There are TONS of ex-KKers at Jimmy Moore new Forum. There’s Low Carb Scoop, ALC and yes even LCF. There are some truly incredible people at all of these places.

The only “hater” I have met in this mess is Heidi Diaz. One such as she must really hate people to deliberately cause so much pain to so many people…to fill her bank account.

Thanks Doodle that was a great post. I'm glad to have read it. I hope the author comes by to say hi!

Btw...my fear was just confirmed, Tyna posted on Ducky's site and she's angry that all of the info that was gathered was shared all over the web. I knew she'd be angry about that....I'm thinking she's not gonna share anymore with us

Hi Thanks guys. But why do I feel so bad LOL. I am soooo not a confrontational person. But my conscience wouldn't let me off the hook.
It lasted about 10 minutes before the poof, but according to someone, 117 people read it first.

And ohhhh yeah...I've been banned reeeal good.

Well glad you are still with us hehehe. And don't feel bad your post was excellent. And you just made me actually laugh out loud with the I got banned reeeeal good. That just tickled me so much. Thanks. My dd thinks I'm insane, I'm supposed to be on here working hehehe.

Read the tos? Hmmm I wonder what that means? Did Heidi add a clause that says you arent allowed to be honest on the site? Oh well, looks like you can now join the lawsuit
