Why the fascination with Kimmer? #3

That's a lot of wool to claw back out of your eyes. Some people get themselves backed into a corner, and they'll willingly die there before coming out if it means having to admit that they were wrong.

Thats not me...you do not know me.

I'm beginning to think there aren't very many people left over there other than the Admin's. Not many lurker here any more that we can tell and supporting her, more Admin's being appointed without even posting up to even the Teacher's level, etc. Gee...now I wish i wasn't banned, lol. Sure would like to lurk there and check things out!

Morgan...I'd have to agree with you...there is too much information out there not to know.

I have been unable to keep up with this thread. Too many posts, which I just get a kick out of pulling it up every day, to see how many posts were written since the last time. Truely amazing!!!! And a third thread!!!!!

But to say that we are all Ducky followers, OMG, what an idiot. I don't even know who ducky is, other than I know, because I asked, that she is someone who isn't so happy with Kimmer, so she has created a Kimmer Exposed blog. The reason I changed my avi to include a duck, is that I so believe in bringing that woman down. I used to not really care, just hated that she promoted a diet that I felt was unhealthy, but so do others. But after all that has been uncovered, she is a criminal who deserves to be brought to justice.

So that is why I changed my avi, to show my support of all the hard working ladies (and men) that are working so hard to see this happen.

Welcome to our cult. I think you will be very happy here

At the time, one of the women in that group who I had grown very fond of and had begun reading her blog and posting comments back and forth.. well, she wasn't very happy with my comments about Kimkins on my blog and her comments disappeared. It was sad, really...

I'm glad she's come around now though and that I didn't have to "get into it" with her, as I'm sure we never would have been able to become friends if I had, due to her support of Kimkins at that time.

That being said.. This thread here is quite different. This is not a Kimkins support thread, or a "we love Kimmer" thread.. and anyone posting here, knowing full well the intent of this thread, is open to comments by others.

Sammymomma has been posting in these threads for a long time, always with some kind of "Well, Kimmer is wonderful" statement, and now we know her identity within Kimkins and her role of relaying information over there. That doesn't sit well with many people, self included.

As for people still involved in Kimkins apologizing.. I'm not holding my breath. Many people have left KK and apologized and they have been welcomed by many forums across the web. At this point, with all the information readily available about Kimmer/Heidi's scams, there is no excuse for remaining her loyal servant and I won't be buying their apologies so quickly anymore, should they ever come.

Thanks, Morgan Was I ever that bad???

To everyone,

Honestly, I was only politely attempting to reach out to sammymomma one last time. My post was directed towards her and wasn't meant to start any discussions and desention, or divert the focus of this thread. Back to the bigger and most important issue at hand...

I'm begging you to PLEASE read Becky's blog. You will find no hateful, snide or snarky remarks there - nothing but crisp, clear facts and information that she knows firsthand. If that doesn't offer proof enough for you and also open your eyes, then you really have a problem.

Thank you, I am trying to read it now. There must me alot of traffic. I will definitely read it when I can

Tish, you were never bad.. ever

You're weight loss, your pictures, your words, have always been very inspiring for me! You rock and I am SO happy that you're away from the KK craziness!

I vote for Diet Pepsi Jazz - Caramel or Black Cherry Vanilla flavor. Great with a scoop of LC ice cream too.. lol.

The least we can do while doing all this hard investigatory work is to treat ourselves to a nice LC ice cream soda. I mean.. really. lol

[AmyJuli]

Someone wanna pass me the koolaid?

[Katinsac]

OMG...this is great!!

ETA: sorry...the "FAT CAT" pic didn't come through. lol (for CarolynF)

well, obviously, I did something wrong when I tried to quote, lol

[sallyk]

Just a thought---which may have been mentioned before on Tippy Toes. I can't remember where I read it, but someone thought it was strange that she didn't show up until after Kimkins was in trouble.

Someone said money may be the reason. But I wonder, look at all the people who are willing to share their dirty laundry on tv, that if it were me, I would personally be embarrassed to share with close friends, just for the fame and attention.

I don't think she is getting paid enough. So maybe she is starved for attention.

[CarolynF]

Thanks..I hated to use a cat to represent Kimmer (cuz I lub cats), but she was just playing a part..We could have lots of fun with this..

Ok I know that Adjutorium is a declension of adjutor which means to join or connect. Now how to translate the way we should interpret....... I am lost. I think Anas is a form of the root an which means or. I am not good in Latin, my sons are, and they are not home; so I am unable to translate any further.

[Katinsac]

I think someone said that Tippy always wanted to be an Admin here and couldn't...so I guess when the offer came....she ran with it.

Now seriously, if you had *just* joined a diet website or had been a member of a diet site but had never posted before, what would you think if you were approached to become an admin?

Be honest. And no laughing!

I keep thinking I've seen it all, but obviously NOT.

[sallyk]

Your avi is too funny..................

I am loving the many different ducks.

These are GROWN people with a mind of their own. If they are anything like me, the more someone tells me I need to do something the more I do the opposite. The more people told me I was too fat the more I stayed fat.

It wasn't till I was ready to see FOR MYSELF and make a move cuz I wanted to (not cuz 400043934908930480394 other people are screaming at me to do it) that I decided to lose weight.

The more people push and demand that these people wake up, the more they are gonna do the opposite.

Everything will happen in its own time. You can't MAKE anyone do anything. When they decide for themselves then it will happen. They have MORE than enough to read about or investigate. The rest is up to them.

The majority of people don't like admitting they are wrong but I think its a very admirable quality. Heck, we all make mistakes - admit you are wrong and get on with life. I think we should keep trying to convince them that they are not seeing clearly and they will eventually come around (hopefully).

I don't think that's what's happening... I think she is bringing people in from the outside to be admins. Now, whether these people are real or figments of her imagination (or just new identities for existing admins) is another issue altogether...

I'm thinking that there are only a few people and they each have a few different screen names they post under.

Thank you so much, you've gone to so much trouble, you're the best!!! I never took latin, I'm surprised I even recognized it.
