I like to blend into the background yet I am mingling in the front row.

I'm beginning to think that I don't know myself as well I thought I did...

With that, I am off to bed!

What tag? I want to see but I don't know where it is.

There were so many things to click on and check out. I did myself in. This old computer isn't what it used to be.

Christin's video has brought all of my Kimkins horror memories back up .

I was only on it for a few months, but I started it after I had reached goal (115). I wanted to lose a few more pounds. I ended up weighing in near the bottom of "normal weight" per the BMI chart, but my frame is between medium and large, so I think I was at the absolute bottom at 104 lbs.

I experienced the loss of ovulation, severe panic and anxiety attacks, rapid heartbeat and arrhythmia. I attributed this all to stress since my personal life was indeed very stressful.

But the worst part was the incredibly painful and scary chest pain. Gallbladder problems were ruled out. I began to have reflux 24/7. I was worried I had esophageal cancer. The mysterious pain was so unnerving that I had crying spells and couldnt enjoy being model-thin. Finally it became evident that I was having terrible esophageal spasms. I also ended up attributing this to stress, and some extended release anti-spasmodic medicine helped a great deal.

It wasn't until I found out about Heidi's lies that I questioned her program. In the course of one weekend reading the first Fascination thread, I realized that I was anorexic while doing Kimkins and had no idea.

And now I wonder if my body's freaking out due to stress was also linked with or was directly caused by my starvation menus. I never told my primary care doctor how few calories I was eating (at the low end of my BMI!). I didn't tell my GI doctor either. I'll never know if it was stress or an eating disorder that caused my health problems.

There's one thing I do know. I was starving and thought I was in safe territory because I believed I had excess body fat, and Kimmer had me convinced that eating little to nothing was dandy if there was excess body fat present. I am actually grateful to be several pounds above goal right now. I'm better off now than I was at 104...struggling to find suits for job interviews because the size 2 skirts slid off of my hips...

Kinda like this "quote" one:

Or Hidey's nose:

Or: Heidi did it!

Or, NO! Kimmer did it!

Thank you!

You poor dear. Looks like esophageal spasms are starting to be a common side effect of the Kimkins diet.........another good reason to warn people of this scam diet.

Hope you are feeling better

[suzieqlcarber]

Yes, I hope you are feeling better too.

Regarding the KK member that thinks its normal to have a bowel movement every 10-14 days - you're crazy. You are full of xxxx - literally!!

I'm so sorry! Please post your story on the Kimkins Survivors blog. More people need to hear this. Hopefully it will stop some who are thinking about going on this dreadful WOE.

I hope you completely recover from any ill effects!

Just coming out of lurk mode to offer my support to all on this thread - I had oesophagal spasms when i was heavily pregnant (the doc said it was due to pressure from the baby pushing everything up). My God - they were the most painful thing I have ever experienced. It feels just like you are having a heart attack - and when they came on I could do nothing but writhe in pain on the floor. If this is the special surprise at the bottom of the Kimkins cereal box you can keep the diet!!!

Yours in solidarity..

Kimmer said:

"My former business partner, Catherine MacDonald, took backup copies of all data before she left a year ago, which sounds like theft to me.

That can in no way be called "theft". That's good business sense! Those records belonged as much to her as they did Heidi Diaz. Nothing in the world sinister or underhanded about that. Any good business person - especially when it's been made clear their partner is a less than honest person - would be an idiot NOT to get backup copies of all data available.

It's my understanding she has posted in her blog (or her husband's) that she would make the names/Paypal email addresses of members during her partnership available to anyone, any attorney.

So? A class action lawsuit is in the works, and they have a need to gather the names of possible participants. That is standard operating procedure. Would you prefer the attorneys run ads in newspapers across the country similar to what they've done with the phen-fen suits? "If you've been scammed by Kimmer, call 1-800-KIM-KINS", complete with the red dress and the slamboard pics side by side? You don't really care about people's 'privacy', you're worried about more bad publicity. As you should be.

Oh man, first of all welcome, second of all, that was flipping awesome. My dog may have just had a heart attack, that was really an outloud chuckle! Thanks.

Ok back to catching up.

OK, this is wildly OT, but that gave me my first laugh of the day! "Dur!" is an expression I use quite often, LOL.

"Now back to our regular program, already in progress."

Well let's see the easist way to explain this is to say that my username is a combination of a name I use basically everywhere and the first letter of my fiance's name (online/lifestyle).As for my name Tarvos is an ancient Gaelic (or possibly Celtic) God. I don't recall the specifics of him, but the name was suggested to me by a friend several years ago. Since my fiance and I are both practicing Wiccan's these names are also our magical names. As for the lifestyle reference, some will understand more if I print it correctly Tarvos{k}.Be well and safe all

Oy talk about giving us decent Pagans a bad name. He ain't no real Wiccan. Hey Tarvos! What part of "Harm None" do you seem to have forgotten"? By being part of this scam you are harming plenty, and you know how that pesky rule of three is.

[missis36]

It's my understanding she has posted in her blog (or her husband's) that she would make the names/Paypal email addresses of members during her partnership available to anyone, any attorney.

Um the best part of this quote is Marti NEVER said he would make paypal address available. He said any of the info he had, however paypal addresses was just heidi's way of getting another zing in there and an attempt to cause widespread panic. You think martin is dumb enough to put financial info on the net? DUH!

Also, wouldn't it be great if we all could go for the trial? Talk about a party, all of our ducky butts sitting in the courtroom to cheer! I'm in. Solidarity ladies!
