It made my stomach turn when I saw it, and to think it was sent that way to that...(don't want to get banned, so I'll say...) woman! I don't remember talking about the domain info at all, but I must have made a comment to the poster who it was copied from, and she was thanking me for something...I dunno what.

I don't think it will pose any problems, other than some may look at my name and wonder if I'm on the up and up. That does kind of bother me, because I'm a real straight shooter, and I'm definitely NOT on Kimmer's side.

Just posting that disclaimer makes me wonder, since she has nothing to back up whether the diet is or isn't healthy, how can she even put up a disclaimer saying pregnant, nursing, or people with impaired kidney function shouldn't be on the diet?

I can see a disclaimer saying you should see your doctor first before beginning any diet program, but to single out groups of people makes it almost sound like it's a doctor recommendation when it really isn't.

It's only Kimmer's amateur opinion. And that opinion isn't worth any more than the rest of her diet.

What doctor has evaluated this diet to say whether it is or isn't safe?

Geesh This lady is a moron. She's too dumb to keep up with her own lies. So now she is feeling sorry for "Heidi" and trying to state that we are on the wrong path, LOL. Then in the next paragraph she states that Catherines DH is her x partners DH! Um She was Heidis partner. Okay this lady cracks me up!

I know, I know... people lie, even magazines, but we had no reason to think that way BACK THEN... But boy, try to lie to any of us now. I, for one, am not going to believe anything I read from here on out.
I feel the same way.
I had successfully done a low carb plan about 7 years ago. But when I read about Kimkins...I just knew it would help me lose the extra weight before my 10th anniversary.

All it has done is given me a borderline ED. Even though I haven't followed it in a few months, I still mentally beat myself up for eating cheese. Or using more than a drop of salad dressing on a salad. Or using oil/butter to cook with.
I still have trouble adding veggies back, averaging a small salad a day.
I still fret I may be eating too many calories.
I *never* ever had this problem before.

I wonder about my thyroid. Has it been affected? Is the extra hair loss I've been experiencing the past few months a result of this? What about the horrendous cramps? Has Kimkins messed up my hormones as well?

I signed the petition the day it came out. Thank goodness Heidi didn't receive any money from me. But she did get a part of my sanity.

So to all of you who are tirelessly working to expose her- I applaud you.

*back to catching up on thread*

P.S. Sorry Jayed- looks like we have the same duck!

Hey! Will ya'll slow down? I'm tryin' to catch up here. My DH tells me I'm obsessed. I told him this is like reading a very long novel that just keeps getting longer.

I'm way back on page 73. Just wanted to respond to some things from even further back...

Someone responded to this and suggested she might be using aliases. Could be. However, it is possible to work a limited amount and collect SSDI. I think it was stated somewhere that she is on SSI, though, and if that is the case, whatever she makes would be deducted from her check. I think she's gonna need a LOT of money to pay back the govt. That would be us.

Since there are millions of people here with no ss#'s most agencies do not investigate blatantly fraudulent documents, if fact many agencies are not even allowed to ask for proof of ID .....very fertile ground for heidikin
"Most agencies". What about the foster care agencies? Are they so desparate they don't check people out thoroughly? We even get fingerprinted here. I don't know what I've done to my fingers, but they have a tough time getting my prints. I still can't believe she had foster kids when she lost custody of her son and then got more after having them taken away? What's up with that?

http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/ma...ne-writer.html

this statement sounds an awful lot like the articles on her own website:

Particularly deceiving is when they'll write an article, quote a doctor, end the quote but continue in the same paragraph with other conclusions. At first it reads as though the quoted doctor is making the statements. They are not. Not everyone reads (or is willing to) read a piece several times to figure out who said what.

she musta learned from their example.
Yeah, that's what got me about the article. That's exactly what they did. I didn't read it enough times BEFORE I joined.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

So, what happened to your graphics? Did you take them down? Cuz they're being resurrected! SL has asked people to repost them if they have some.

As some of you may have noticed, we lost the rewards bank....and thus all the rewards stored on it. We know how much those little rewards mean to everyone, and so in an attempt to restore the rewards bank, we are requesting that anyone who has those graphics personally stored somewhere---computer, signature etc....to post them in this thread, so that we can gather and re-host them. Please take note to see if anyone has posted the same graphic before you just avoid confusion.
There was some discussion about whether it was a copyright infringement to use them. SL said they were "checking into it." Later, she posted:
Quote:
That is why we have not put them back up as of yet, she did not leave any instructions either way.....and they are not being used for commercial purposes.

The panties and such look to me like they may have even just been photoshopped from like catalog images and had the pounds typed over them.....so not like they are original art...not with hello kitty and stuff printed on them.

I am going to download photoshop and tinker and see if i can get some basic ones out at least while I work on the hand-drawn faries as well. Sorry for the confusion, and I appreciate all of your patience while we try to figure it all out.
Back to trying to catch up!

Missi, I don't think you suck...I respect your decision and admire your integrity! We all know the truth will come out when the time is right. Thanks for all your hard work in making that happen!

Kakay, as far as the KK admins, I don't think $$$ is the lure. I think it's obvious that they are enticed by what they perceive as power and status. I also wonder why, if they believe so strongly in their choice, they aren't eager to defend that choice.

What Carolyn said! Anyone who *knows you* knows better than to think you were incriminated in this mess.

ETA that missi, you made the right decision in not letting innocent people get caught in the crossfire. I wouldn't want our quest for the truth to get as ethically-challenged as what we were trying to shut down! It may take longer to get info, but I will sleep better knowing that the rights of innocent people are being looked after.

An FYI regarding Heidi and her use of contractors....unless the contractors are located in CA, they do not fall under CA jurisdiction. The labor law in their state would apply. Each state has varying levels of leniency when it comes to classification of employee vs contractor. From what these people do, they could very well be legitimately classified as contractors. All it would take to start a state investigation into that would be for anyone who worked for her to make an unemployment claim in their state. The unemployment department would send a notice to Kimkins demanding details about the work that person did for her and what they were paid. If the state deems that they were an employee, Kimkins would be responsible for all the state employment taxes, and in some states, she'd have to prove that the company also had disability and/or worker's compensation policies. That's assuming Kimkins is incorporated. I have no idea how they would treat an individual in that situation.

Lou
Just to clarify, I was referring to CA's minimum wage laws not whether a company has to report employee earnings.

Not true. We are not incorporated and have no tax ID# other than a SS#. We pay contractors and send them a 1099 at the end of the year. We do not need to have worker's comp on any of them or unemployment insurance.

If you don't register your company, you get a bill later and it is a nominal fee.

interesting... ducky should be proud. The kimkinsexposed name is popular enough that another enterprising company has snatched it up as a domain name.

I wonder what ducky or heidi will think of the new website with the domain name kimkinsexposed...
