Cheryl, I bet she would preach the domino effect.
That theory had me scared to eat even one Cherry tomato???? I actually popped one in my mouth and then remembered it was a no-no on K/E and spit the thing out.

Hmmm..Maybe Melt had a real Meltdown with Kimmer..That would have been an interesting conversation, huh? Maybe she will show up HERE.. Be nice, ladies. Protect your kittens/puppies, though.

Really that is interesting, this just gets more and more addictive.

[CarolynF]

Is that you, Melt?????

[jlshields]

Strange, I noticed the avi too. And in her profile it says her last visit date was 9/30/07 at 15:33. But there are no posts for today. Last post was yesterday.

DH just called.

according to the homepage of kimkins:
so, according to this, by 2001, she was 120 lbs. so, if she said she was overweight, then I am curious as to when she said it.. seems like that is conflicting information right there if she started posting in 2001.
does anyone know when she started posting and how she presented herself initially?

Hi I had posted this a few days back when we were discussing some of the dates. It may help or it may just show that Kimmer was setting up her lies when she first came here.
]-Kimmer came to LCF in Nov. 2000 : according to her date under her avatar
"Join date" Ask Kimmer!

-She started her Fitday in Dec 05 2000- That is her earliest entry in fitday and fitday didn't come out until nov 2000 so that sounds correct
FitDay.com - Diet and Fitness journal for Kimmer

-Her story was that she lost the weight during 2001 while here at LCF-
Her weight according to her fit day was really telling that she was trying to set up a situation to where it appeared she lost a lot of weight fast
Dec 00 and Jan 01- She has fitday showing highest wt. of 290 lbs in Dec 2000 BUT then it shows 160 lbs in 1-01 which would be impossible
FitDay.com - Diet and Fitness journal for Kimmer

8-07-2001 -Then fitday where she tried to set-up her weight loss on fitday it shows her going from around 150 pounds on 8-7-01 to 240lbs on 8-8-01 then 138 lbs by the end of the year 12-01

I'm in pictures and - while I don't love the way I look - I love the people I'm with. I love me. Anyone want to see a fat woman swim? Have a gander. Want to see one go walking on a trail? I'm up for it. Play soccer with a bunch of preschoolers? Rolls and all, I'm there.

I don't know if that attitude helps or hurts, though - because while I am not a spectator in my own life, I don't have the same daily incentives that others do to lose weight.

Mommy, that is exactly the right attitude to have. Good for you! Those "incentives" the rest of us have/had are negative ones, due to hate of oneself. Jeanessa also put her finger on it - we have to love ourselves no matter what weight we are. Once we're in the proper mindset, we don't have to beat our bodies into submission, following an LC WOE isn't more deprivation (poor little me), and bingeing isn't needed as an antidote to feeling bad. Instead of curling up in front of the boob tube with a handful of twinkies, you're out there having fun. Do you know you're halfway already to being thinner? Because you do control your mind. And the other half of the equation is to get educated as to what your body really needs, follow it, and watch as the pounds evaporate. It may include allergy testing, checklist of missing nutrients, diabetes or thyroid medication, but eventually, with that positive mindset, you will succeed.

When I go off plan, my only incentive for going back on it is because my husband will use me going off as an excuse for him to go off.. that, and I really miss a single digit 6 - without a 1 or 2 in front or an X in the back - KWIM?

I do. But you have to realize he's a big boy now and needs to take responsibility for himself. If you research, cook and prepare LC snacks and meals so that he has no excuse, he'll still find one until HE decides to lose for himself. Just keep him steered away from Kimkins.

I guess where I'm going with this is that - while you may not necessarily like being a given weight, you should always like yourself - and never let your body or your appearance turn you into a prisoner, IMO.

That is one of the most mature and helpful posts I've seen lately. Needless to say, it's easier said than done, but I agree. Too bad I couldn't wrap my head around this many years ago. Now I can.

I'll talk to him about it the next time we go in... Thanks!

Elbowitis!!!

Gives new meaning to the term, "WHOOSH!", doesn't it?

How funny!!! It sounds like the best Whoosh I have heard on these threads yet.

i can't say for sure since i'm not there to look around...but i was told that many who have been banned have the yellow pawn avi.

If that's true, there must be many bright and shiny yellow avatars at KK. Could that be their Fall 2007 avatar color before they all disappear? Pooof...

My mother should never have been a mother and on top of that, I watched her struggle with her weight and learned so many negative things from her. I know I have to try and change all that in my head, but it's so difficult when it's been engrained in your head for so many years. But it's SO true. I can care about any of you no matter your size, but I can't do it for myself. Something is wrong with that picture. Possibly I think you all deserve it and I don't. Wow, being on this message board is like having my own personal therapist. LOL I hope I am helping you all as much as you've helped me already........and in such a short amount of time. You're all the greatest!

Blessings,
Lisa

I am so glad you decided to post here ... and I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. It sounds like you are on your way .. sorting it all out! You are right - these gals are the best and are always there to help anyone asking for encouragement and help in sorting out problems.

Again I just wanted to welcome you!

[CarolynF]

Maybe the yellow pawn represents the Mark of Ducky..LOLOL

Haven't you heard that the "in color" for 2007 is purple. I want PURPLE on my avatar. I can't believe she is keeping those banned avatars on her website. I can only imagine what those remaining members think! It's like a company/store going out of business and they don't want to let their customers know beforehand.....

[CarolynF]

MARK OF DUCKY...THE YELLOW PAWN

[ixtapacheryl]

I think that all banned KK members should have the same avatars ...... or at least similar. I'm willing!

I was thinking the same thing. Why would she want to show off with all the members that have been banned? Makes no sense. But then, I didn't know that banned members turn yellow (symbolic - helloooo ) after they get banned when I was there.

P.S. Is that your picture? Mamacita.....

[CarolynF]

That is a great idea..I'm sure they can band together and choose one. They we can tell them apart..

So any ideas? I'm one of those banned members and for the life of me can't figure out a cute theme..... Maybe our friend Jeanessa has an idea.... I'm tired of looking at my ugly picture...
