I think Missi wrote the bold text. I don't know who saw the PMs.

Sorry again with more info from KK

Tippy's comment to a newbie about TAMI and Christin:

Quote:
"They are both ex employees. Also, we really don't know what they did to lose weight. We don't know if they stuck with the plans or if they cut back further and further. I am sorry if they now claim health concerns and truely wish them well. Christan says her Doctor monitored her entire weight loss and said her side effects were minimal. I have discussed Christan's side effects (skipping periods and hair thinning) with my own Doctor who tells me those side effects are very minimal. Especially for a person who lost 100lbs in just 5 months.

We are looking to hire a personal trainer here for the work out zone. If your Dad is interested let me know, OK?"
Um, Tippy go watch the pod cast. You will see what she did. She followed the program to the letter.

What do the Ducks mean?

Sorry for my ignorance,but I'm kinda new and everyone seems to use a duck as their avator and I think it has something to do with the Kimkins controversy, though I don't even know what that's about yet. So can someone fill me in?

But Ducky's site posted it, however I never talked to any admins from here so where she thinks it was an admin that knew that is off base by a landslide. There were at least 10 people from here from ages ago who were willing to say that Tippy had mentioned this before. Oh and I should add it had to be one of them who sent that to ducky as he could confirm IP it wasn't me. I chose never to release that info. I wasn't here to hurt her husband.

So again she's a bit off her rocker.
Ahhhhh....now it makes sense. Poor guy - imagine being married to her!

That's why I never released any of that. My thoughts on it were and still are, he married her when she was overweight. He never asked her to lose weight. And she lost the weight and then wanted him to fix his teeth.

The msg had something to do with Tippy asking Heidi if when this all "blew over" she could post a thread about what it's like when you change your appearance and your s/o stays the same. She mentioned something about keeping the threads positive and knowing that Heidi didn't want negativity bla bla bla.

It was cold and calculated and sick. That's all I'm saying about that is there a smiley with it's mouth shut hehe

ETA: Hi Ailuros You weren't too slow hehe. Thank you for helping out and again welcome!

Well it's not Kumbaya but here's my Kimmer theme song!

Kimmer
(sung to the the tune of Flipper)

They call her Kimmer, Kimmer, slimmer than you are,
No-one you see, is better than she,
And we know Kimmer, lives in a world full of false pride,
Living there-inside, inside Heidi's head!

Everyone loves the clingy red dress,
Everyone bows to her awesomeness,
Advice she will give, to lighten your rear,
And then she will down just one more beer!

They call her Kimmer, Kimmer, slimmer than you are,
No-one you see, is better than she,
And we know Kimmer, lives in a world full of false pride,
Living there-inside, inside Heidi's head!

Why isn't that part of the plan then? I was stalled for WEEKS on Kimkins, exercising my butt off, eating next to nothing and getting nowhere, and it turns out that what I needed to do to break my stall was to STOP DOING KIMKINS - huh? Tippy Toes - why are you still there and defending Kimmer? I don't get it. You've seen the facts, you know she is a fraud. If you think you are helping people by staying "on the inside" to "help" the members, you aren't. You're just propping up a "diet" plan that doesn't work, and doesn't tell people the truth about what they need to do to lose weight unless we come somewhere like here and discover the truth.
did any of these admins ever talk about cycling before Tippy came out with it as the "new" Kimkins plan?

It sounds like they did NOT, because Kimmer would have bounced it as mutilation of her diet...

ironic that now it is the NEW plan...

Well, this is the type of story we will be hearing about Hidey when it hits the fan.......same mentality, hard to figure out why people do it, but they do.....mostly for attention. Heidi also did it for the money.....which is worse
Woman's 9/11 survival story questioned - Yahoo! News

Watch the video, kinda lets you think ahead of what Heidi will say......

They have a resident Wiccan they can consult-maybe there's a spell or herb for it.

Re:Kimkins Chatter & PMs 2 Minutes ago
Thank you for removing the negativity. It is a sure diet killer. People don't deserve to come here and be bashed for their diet choice. I can honestly say over at another site I had the same experience. Seemed everyone was doing Atkins diet. I started doing Atkins too but hit a 6 month stall and knew it was time for a change. The wrath was unbelievable. I had to go it alone with NO support from the people I cared about and respected. But I held my head high and did Kimkins anyways. I just didn't say much about it. I hit goal and not too many of the others did. Many simply went off plan when they stopped losing though some left avitors with skinny pics up to represent themselves, I suspect because they did not want to admit Atkins failed them too. I did NOT say nanny nanny boo boo either. Instead I tried to tell them what worked for me but still got no where. That is one of the biggest reasons I have decided not to post on other sites anymore. If it isn't Atkins, you are doing it wrong is not the attitued I wish to surround myself in.
Tippy hit a 6 month stall after she lost 50+ lbs on Atkins. so, she labels Atkins a failure.

what Tippy seems to conveniently leave out is that she stalled after 2 months on Kimkins, and a 20 lb loss. and that is when she tried other plans and came up with cycling.

Let me repeat: Tippy came up with cycling kimkins and Atkins because she stalled on BOTH diets after doing them for a while. so.. if stalling is the criteria for failure, then both Atkins and Kimkins are failures.

I have done the fat fast and Kimers plans. I lost on them all. The fat fast is hard and you can't stay on it long. As a last resort I would do it again but only as a last resort. I felt yucky. Kimmers plans limit calories (food) by lowering fats drastically and after 2 months and 20 lbs later, I stalled. Right now I am doing Eat Fat Get Fit by Barry Groves. There is a thread running here now about it. I personally did one week of 70% fat, around 2000 calories on most days but this one limits protein and is still lc veggies. I lost 3 lbs this week on it, which is unbelievable after eating lots of bacon every day. I mean LOTS! I find this plan the most satisfying of all next to Atkins.

Atkins stated to move up the carb ladder but he wasn't specific on what to give up in place of more veggies. Was it fats or protein? I really don't know. I am now wondering if it was protein since Atkins advocated fats so much.

Hope this helps! You don't have to do the yucky old fat fast anymore.

Now thinning hair seems to be somewhat common on a LC WOE (better NOT happen to me; I my hair) but losing 60% of your hair is in no way common, normal, or healthy. Losing one or maybe two cycles, again, wouldn't raise my eyebrows too much. But not having a cycle for five months is again not common, normal or healthy. I notice TT didn't touch the heart flutters. Those don't ring any red flags for her?

Going to the ER, wrecking your thyroid and metabolism are also common side effects, too. Did TT's doctor say those were a-ok, too, and not be alarmed if you get nice and cozy with the ER doctors?
