Missi, do you mean Fawn? Sorry, just needed to clarify since I'm the only Faith I know of who posts here and was worried someone might get the wrong impression that I wrote anything (unless there is another faith on those other boards?).

TRUTH

I'm sorry you're hurt and depressed. There is support here. How can we help?

Please, don't starve...physically or emotionally...eat, get healthy, and if you want to find a WOE that is good for you and will help you lose weight I'm sure we can point you in the right direction.

Now I feel so horribly guilty... after getting several emails earlier this week about the scam - which I had no idea about until then - I removed all of my affiliate links from my site. But I feel really bad about the people I did send there who signed up. I knew reports were coming out in the last month or so about people getting sick on the diet, but I honestly can't figure out why someone would stay on a diet if it made them sick. (I still don't get that one and feel like it is the dieter's responsibility for their own health).

So, when I read the scamboard site and saw the photos of Heidi, I was floored... the entire reason I myself once signed up for the diet is because I truly thought she had lost all that weight in that amount of time. Reading all these threads and the other sites, I am horrified... what did I do in sending all these people over there?

I removed my affiliate links from the site and wrote an apology to everyone for my ignorance on the matter, but I feel it isn't enough...

Hey girl, firs of all welcome!!! Second no one is going to be upset with you because you were scammed too. You removed the links that's all you need to do. You saw that it was a scam, and that's the only reason we are still here sharing info. Thank you for your very warm post, and welcome to the thread!!! :hug:

And Faith, I'm so sorry, I meant Fawn from KK. So sorry for the confusion

I'm so glad you're not sending anyone to her site anymore. I sent a few friends, so I know how you feel.

That is alright, Missi! I realize I'm not that active of a poster on this thread so it likely went unnoticed by most, only wanted to make sure.

Guess she is still hard at work for the kimmer... I still have more to reveal from her. I may wait until the weekend is over.

Ok guys. I just had a laugh. I have know about Tippy Toes and the whole story. But tonight I decided to do some thread research to find out exactly which member was TT.

Now that I have realized who she is, it doesn't surprise me at all that she went with a sinking ship.

AND I ALSO HAVE TO SAY, THE MANY DIFFERENT DUCKS ARE SO MUCH FUN. EVERYONE IS BEING SO CLEVER IN FINDING DIFFERENT ONES. HOW FUN.

Been reading all the discussion about the jokes. Seems to me that posting pictures of Heidi/Kimmer and pointing out the irony/lies, etc is NOT making fun of her, Or anyone else's, size or shape. It is simply pointing out the inconsistencies in a humorous manner. Other comments that get mean aren't helpful, but understandable since she has been so mean to so many people and there are hurt feelings. This should be a place where people can voice their frustrations within reason. My .02.

Missi, glad you are back. Hope to hear from Jeanessa soon.

What you need to do is press "print screen" on your keyboard then go to your start menu > programs> accessories and open a program called paint. Once you have that up go to edit then select paste and viola the screenshot will be pasted in there, save it as a jpeg and your done

Hey Kitty - I replied to you at Ducky's site about my own bout of depression and I'm glad to see you here. I've been worried about you because what you said on that site reminded me of the state that I was in myself. I think that Ducky shut down replies on that thread because s/he was worried about you too and was afraid that someone might say something hateful to you and you're much too fragile for that at this time.

I was relieved to hear that you have already gotten help to see you through this most trying time in your life. Way to go If you need to unburden yourself, you have arrived at the right destination. Talk to us...tell us how you feel...yell, scream, cry, laugh and then lets get down to the business of healing our souls.

We're all pretty much going/been through the same things that you are, to one degree or another. The process is messy, to say the least, and can cause hurt feelings but it is beneficial. The reason that this thread is so long, is that it has been used by many, including me, to come to terms with our conflicting emotions. Nothing that you said or did previously will be held against you because we really do understand what you're going through.

So girl, talk to us

Welcome rianleeann! No need to feel guilty, many people had high hopes for that website. Congratulations on your weightloss as well, however, as Hidey would say, if you tweak Kimkins, you are not doing Kimkins so really, give yourself credit for finding a WOE that worked for you and didn't make you sick.

[JadeRosie]

well well well - she might have taken this stuff off the kimkins site, but it's still here:

mentioning Jessica Alba - check
fake weight loss story - check

y'all should archive this for your lawsuit

Kimmer created the Kimkins program to deal successfully with her own weight loss problems

[Violet Skye]

-How do you keep yourself motivated?
Since losing 200 lbs. I'm able to do so much more! I can walk up stairs, fit behind the steering wheel of my car -- tie my shoes! I remind myself what life was like at 318 lbs. and that's enough to keep me on the straight and narrow. I'd also like to be around for a long time for my adorable grandchildren, Alex and Lexi!

Two grandkids? I thought that Tyna & Dennis only had the one child. Either I'm wrong, or there may be more to uncover. (Another Heidikim lie? The reason why both kids have essentially the same name? So many questions.....)

If you go to their Home page there is a Contact Us link at the bottom. I wonder if they have any clue what is going on with all of this. It looks like they posted the Kimkins info last year. Although I saw the info on Amy was updated just this month.

Where did you find this interesting info(bolded part from your post)?

[sallyk]

"I've gained and lost large amounts of weight my whole life. I'm an emotional eater and I also tend to lie" --Kimmer, from the above Kimmer questionarre. So she does admit to lying.

What???? I just did what a lot of the media does, I just took it out of context.

That's so cute!!!

(I can't help but speculate that, oh, 80% of people on this thread are wondering what the stuffed dog has to do with anything. )

I have no words.

From the "interview" that affiliates used as a sales tool, which was linked to a couple of posts above mine.

Edited to add a whole bunch of these to rianleeann and SKV.

Reading this made me throw up in my mouth I think Hidey should be name "Sybil". If they make a re-make of "The three faces of Eve" I think she could play the part with hardly any practice. Heidi........you are really one sick puppy, or a hard core blatant liar......take your pick, they both fit.
