My bet is they are just new names for past LCF Kimkins fans who perhaps recently went over to the Dark Side with TT. Or, possibly already other Kimkinites from the Kimpound who have been excellent at doing their Master's bidding.

I don't think Hidey is gonna stick someone in Admin under the current paranoia unless she or Tippy Toes feels they are worthy minions.

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.
Allie - you are so right. When I first heard the rumblings of trouble, I didn't really believe it. Then I started reading and figured it out - thanks to all of you. Now, I've come over to the dark......er, duck side.

I wish I could help. I download mine to my picture file, then copy it under the user control panel under avitar. I am sure someone who is more computer saavy will jump in with help soon.

But welcome to the ducky crowd.

Kimmer suffers from anatidaephobia.






















Anatidaephobia: — fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you (fictional, from a Gary Larson cartoon published in The Far Side Gallery, 4).

Click on 'User Control Panel" up at the top of the page and then click on "edit avatar." If you don't want to use one of the site's avatars you will have to find one that you like and then (and this is just what I do) save it to your computer (I save it to desktop) and then choose the upload feature in 'edit avatar.' Hope it helps cause I'm not so great with this stuff.

I think it's sad that Tippy and Singinglass are so needy of attention and power that they are willing to prop-up such a nasty person as Heidi-Kimmer.
Criminals and co-conspirators always play the 'poor me' angle and try to make people feel sorry for them. Both of these grown women know better by now and their involvement is inexcusable, IMO.

I've been gone off these threads since April, and when I first signed back on this week I noticed the "fascination with Kimmer" thread and thought it would be the same old debate stuff - should you really eat that few calories, not exercise, etc, etc... You can imagine my absolute shock when I realized what everyone was talking about. You know the old saying "if it sounds or seems too good to be true it probably isn't" - well, that's what I always thought about Kimmer. All those weekend water fasts, losing so much weight so fast without exercising and looking so GREAT in her after pic, etc.

I've read alot of the info I could find googling and looking at links, and I must say that Becky's is well written, factual and not sarcastic at all. I'm very impressed.

I've also been thinking as I've read these posts that Allie Cat is right in not "forcing" anyone to read the articles and admit to their errors. First off no-one is going to do that. The anonymity of the internet allows people to avoid guilt with the anonymity. If they feel uncomfortable they will just sign on as a guest and read but not post. I think by posting the info and the links these people will certainly read them and come to the same conclusion I have - there's no doubt in my mind that Kimmer is Heidi Deitz and is guilty.

I do have a question though - we know why Kimmer isn't coming forward with proof of her likeness to those photos, but who are they really, and why haven't they come forward? Perhaps there's some way to get those photo's circulated - on you tube or something that doesn't necessarily attract only us overweight people. Both those after shots show skinny girls, so maybe they wouldn't ever see their pic on here.

Oh well, too long, I'm sorry!!!!

Admins - we need a duck smiley face to attach to our signatures!!!

Eventually you were convinced and hopefully other Kimkin members will be. So that's why we have to keep up these anti-kimmer/kimkin threads.

WOE: Read em all. Doing it my way.
Start Date: May 2007
This is your periodic recap so new people will know why this thread exists in the first place.

1. A woman who goes by the name of Kimmer (real name Heidi Diaz) claims to have lost almost 200 pounds in less than a year and kept off the weight for almost 6 years.
2. She posted very actively here at LCF over a year ago and even has her own "Ask Kimmer" thread.
3. The plan she claims led to her weight loss calls for a daily calorie intake of approx. 700 calories.
4. Daily calorie intake of under 1000 calories a day in considered to be a very low calorie diet and should be only done under direct doctor supervision due to potential risks.
5. These risks include thyroid damage, gall bladder damage, metabolism damage, hair loss, and loss of muscle.
6. Despite these risks, Kimmer has recommended cutting calories even lower than 700, told members to constantly cut out fats, have diet coke fasts and told members to use laxatives on a daily basis.
7. Women following her plan have suffered hair loss, gall bladder attacks and thyroid damage. One former Kimkins member was hospitalized after fainting. Dizziness and weakness are common complaints, and being in a constant state of nausea is celebrated and encouraged by Kimmer and Kimkins members.
8. Kimmer herself has NOT lost nearly 200 pounds on this plan and is actually a 300 pound woman. Her identity and photos have been confirmed by an independent investigation.
9. Kimmer claims to have foster children and has even recently accepted money for their care, yet county records show she has not had foster children for many years.
10. Kimmer offers lifetime memberships to her website for $60, yet has banned several members without refund.
11. Kimmer managed to get her story printed in Women's World magazine, yet supplied phony "after" pictures to bolster her claim she nows weighs 118lbs and is a size 4.
12. Another Kimkins dieter shown in the article has now left her organization. This woman suffered health problems due to Kimkins though she did lose weight.
13. Kimmer has lied about a number of things including her weight, her age, her foster children, the health risks of her diet, her photographs and more.
14. She has used celebrity photos and implied that people like Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba and Paris Hilton are using her diet. There is no evidence these celebrities are actually using her plan and their photos are most likely being used without permission.
15. She has publicly trashed other low carb plans, such as calling the Atkins' diet "Fatkins" while she steals and distorts its principles and cashes in on the Atkins name.
16. She uses several online aliases to publish articles and is suspected of hiring freelance posters to promote her site who have never used her diet plan. Kimmer is also strongly suspected of using "sock puppets".
17. Kimmer has no medical training yet gives people potentially dangerous medical advice.
18. She denies the existence of "starvation mode" one of your body's natural defenses to a lack of food which results in a slower metabolism and reduced weight loss despite cuts in calories.
19. Kimmer lacks an understanding of the role of essential fatty acids in the diet and keeps telling people to lower their fat intake to dangerous levels.

Did I miss anything?
