Kat I agree, people keep asking what I'm doing to lose weight, I answer: Putting kimmer out of business haha. This is a full time freaking job.

Ducky's post of Christin was awesome and very informative. I'm shocked!

Shelly I'm in dialup hell so I can't do chat as it won't load

Just wanted to post a quick note....I've been following (as I can) from the beginning and I applaud what is being done here. I've been travelling a lot and have not been able to keep up. I agree with the earlier poster....as alot of us are following this story with avid interest and support. An occassional recap post would be GREAT for us who unfortunately can't get here everyday. Kudos to all of you who are fighting the battle to get this fraud exposed.

That is funny and good. I couldn't figure out what you were saying at first. A little slow, but once I got, couldn't help but laugh.

39,961 minus the banned members are all over here checking what we have to say as well as the other Kimkins Exposed blogs...... Sounds good to me! Our forums are more interesting! Does anyone have an exact count of banned members?

The link for Epinions is in the quote and here is the link to my review- Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Woman's World Magazine at Epinions.com

I contacted the California Medical Board and the Pharmacy Board today just to speak with them on the issue of the medical advice and diet that Kimkins gives out...but it is not a complaint they handle. In case anyone was thinking along those lines don't waste your time with that....I already did.

This was posted as a comment to your review over there by one of the moderators "Was this a story or an advertisement? I read what I thought were stories, only to finally see the fine print off to the side that reads... Paid Advertisement" Does anyone still have the article? Is this true? Was it a paid advertisement?

Ok about the cruise, I've got the 15 yr old who loves kids, she'll be coming with us for your enjoyment

And Shelly darlin, your duck came from Freya, my twin hehe

A recap post, that's a great idea, we will start doing this, I'm sure Honey is working on it as we speak. She always sums it up nicely!

eta: CC where is your head? There is no time to vacation right now. We are working here! Oh ok if you have to as long as you have access

This was from one of her 'friends" on myspace to me.
Hey,

So how did you find me to let me know about this?

Were you a member or a myspace friend of Kimmer? Just curious. I have done a ton of research, I just wish I could find something on Women's Worlds take on the situation. Have you been banned? I am going to do a little more research then ask some question on the site, making the point blank statement that if I am banned from the site I expect a full refund because banning me voids the lifetime membership I purchased, since I didnt die...

Would you like to be friends on myspace?

Can I believe her??? What do ya'll think??

Go for it buff, email her back. Hell it can't hurt. Give her all of the thread links including the Exposed site that should be enough. If she does her research it will work.


Oh yeah and I'm outie, it's Greys time!

This one was sent to me on myspace also. Must be the one who thought I was harrasing.
Here is what she wrote after I told her to google kimkins and posted the class action lawsuit link.
RE: kimkins
Body: Well I think Kimmer is awesome and I have lost a ton of weight, so sorry, I cannot agree with you on this. It's just a group of people getting together to try and shut something down that works for other people. There is no fraud, just lack of willpower for those that it didn't work for. And I'm not banned, so I'm not worried about it.

Well you will be lady when her site goes KABOOSHKA!!

I was thinking, again, how about the instead of The Red Hat Society, we form The Red Dress Society (with ducks, of course). We will make that the theme one night.
Oooh! I love it!

Invite her over here! She'll get good advice and support, just for starters.

Whattt?!?!? Oh I will have to get online and check it out. Are they asking whether the Kimkins story in Woman's World was a paid advertisement or whether I was a being paid....
***scrambles to find editors name and email address***

Whether the KK article was a paid advertisement, not your review. We need to find out if they had "PAID ADVERTISEMENT" on the side next to the article.
