Well I'm off to bed. Thanks again for the warm welcome! I recognize many of you now. I can't wait to get started on a new healthy WOE.
I will go to bed content, and unburdened...I am no longer a KK'er!
I'm free....(isn't that a song by The Who?)
...whistling as I sign off

When I started KK, I thought Kimmer/Hidey lost the weight and kept it off, no ill health, etc. A true success story.
FF to now. Who is the success story? Who do we(they) look to when maintaining? How do they know it is safe, as there is no one who's done it with no ill effects, and they are all gone! It's crazy scary! I guess there might be a few still there, but the ones I looked up to are ALL GONE! And it was more than just Becky, Deni, and Christin. What about Curlygirl, and ScrappinHottie, and TenaBodena just to name a few. They are ALL GONE!
And the new admins are gruff and scary looking MEN! And they're mean! Nothing like the loving and caring crew from the "glory days".
And THAT is a great and supportive community?!
I'm so glad I'm no there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scrappin Hottie is over at Amy's forum, as well is Amy and if you read Amy's blog, she's been banned--"member complaints" (yeah right!). Don't know about TenaBodena. There is a new hottie thread over there if you want to find ScrappinHottie, though... She hasn't complained about any side effects, though...

Have to say I am proud of HogsFan! He does an Arkansan proud!

There was a quote in the last thread posted by Leashy...something to the effect of Kimmer saying if you had those health issues you'd be at goal by now. That is Kimmer's way of saying--ha ha you're not at goal. AS IF--has Kimmer looked in a mirror lately? That was emailed to a friend and I have no idea how it came to be in the thread, but that is just Kimmer being NASTY. But we aren't suprised are we?

Well, it has taken me the better part of the evening to catch up from where I was on the last thread...and I just have to post one thing:



I have Quaked and I am NOT going back!

I've often wondered if she was still there.

GonnaBeHot is over there (Amy's forum) as well and is banned, for NOTHING, I might add, other than linking to Deni's and Christin's blog...

Paranoia will destroy ya....

I'm doing GOOD, except trying to play "Catch up" on this thread. lol I'm starting to panic. Hubby and I are going out on the Houseboat this weekend. All I can think about is how many pages I will have to read when I get back!! LOL

That ricotta pie is one of my FAVORTIES. I'm so glad you have enjoyed it.

Oh well, there ya go! LOL

[DuckFeathers]

Methinks "Melt" could be Hidey?
Who but Hidey be THAT mean?

Posted not long ago on that thread:

Re:I FEEL HARRASSED BY MELT
I have to agree to that! I don't why Melt has to be so nasty!

[Sheridan]

This is Melt's response to a heartfelt plea:

You forgot to tell us you were our mommy.

We'll be fine. Really. Get back to your own plan and stop "worrying" about the rest of us.

melt

Can ya' feel the love?!

ScrappinHottie and GonnaBeHot are both at Amy's forum. GonnaBeHot was banned within the last week or so.

ETA: I should try to catch up before posting. Tenabodena is also at Amy's. I think that's new info.

Long story short...I've changed my tune, come to my senses, smartened up....
When I saw those PI pix, I just knew in my heart, it was HER. That was tough for me to swallow. But I told myself it was okay, I can still use the plan cause it works for me.
I continued to lurk here and other places, and it all finally started to sink in. I can't explain it, why I couldn't accept the truth. I kept trying to "make it work" in my head. I finally admitted to my dh that my hair is falling out, and has been for about 6 months. So far, that is the only side effect I have experienced. I emailed Christin, and she is such a beautiful and caring person, and it all fell into place.
I got in touch with a couple of other ex-kimkinites. And it really is a difficult process to remove yourself from the mindset. It all finally came crashing down the other night at the Kimkins site when Wonderwoman started spouting off. I was there, watching it happen. And again, another lightbulb moment...I knew that it was HER. I was typing my response when the screen went blank, and the whole thread was deleted.
I wanted so badly to chat with someone, I was livid! And of course I had burned my bridge here. I have since repented and the admins here kindly reinstated my priveleges. So here I am. I am not very outspoken. But I apologize for being so hard-headed, and thinking so badly of everyone here. You have done an awesome job of getting the word out that KK is not a healthy diet. And SHE is just beyond words! I felt sorry for her at first, but no more. This has got to STOP.
Anyway, thanks for listening. And again, I'm sorry for being so judgemental of everyone here. You were right...all along. I'm just glad that I finally came to my senses.

JC

I'm so glad you've gotten away from there and that WOE. I'm sorry that you're losing your hair. Please make sure you get yourself checked out thoroughly by your doctor. It's so important to do this.

[DuckFeathers]

Re:I FEEL HARRASSED BY MELT
i did not sign up for people to delete every word I say, and I haven't even made any negative comments about the plan. I also didn't sign up to read Melt's BS posts - Melt is all about bashing people who dare to use their brains for one second. I did not sign up for a cult in which members get banned for asking questions. You get banned if you ask Kimmer for a recent picture, but you can spread your BS as much as you want to and you can offend people as long as it's in defense of the plan.


dsds is describing "melt" aka "hidey" aka kimmer aka aka etc ad snatty!

I don't have the article (or the magazine), but the cover is on the KK website for anyone to see. I'd bloody well like to know how much it costs to advertise as the main story on the cover page of a National Magazine.

I am a long time member who was an active Atkid until my Dr. bribed me to try South Beach. I did pretty good, until I hit the "adding in those healthy whole grains" phase! Went on a binge for about a year and a half and now have gained about 3/4 of my weight loss back! I came back to LCF to find my way again. Almost got caught up in the whole Kimmer "experience" because I actually thought about giving it a try...from what I remembered a couple of years ago! That is one of the reasons I came back here. Can you say dodged a bullet?

So glad you are all speaking up! Now, I just have to find the motivation to "do it all again"...

You guys rock! Chris

The Kimkins story was actually a real story, but half of WW magazine is paid advertisements that look like stories, which is probably why this person made that comment.

I believe WW is free from liability as they were scammed (as is Catherine and others), too, but it would be in good taste for them to print a retraction (although these are usually in teensy, tiny font buried beneath the editorial and magazine staff listings and are rarely read)...

Now, had they accepted the paid advertisement without research into the company they would have some legal responsibility here...
