SL, I don't envy the position you are in, but I have to tell you, I find it rather patronizing and perhaps even insulting when questions get ignored (or rather erased) to "protect" kimkins members -- to keep them "focused" on their weightloss. With all due respect, yes I am fat (as you keep reminding me), but I am not stupid.
Still pretty unhappy members

The only reason I believe the members DID complain was because A.), they responded to my posts negatively and B.) I received my own PMs in regards to them not liking my posts. But you guys could be right, not all the blame is on them, I know the Admins get ban-happy when they think people have the potential to start trouble.

Oh well, looks like you guys are stuck with me now.

I saw it this morning, after not looking at any pictures all night (and not dreaming about them!), and I instantly thought that if this wasn't the red dress woman, I'd eat my hat. I've always thought she reminds me of Ashley Judd, and this woman struck me immediately the same way. That's why I'm curious of her name and the site. I think we need to follow this one a little closer.

You think, with all the changes and everything, they'd just ban everyone on the roster and start with newbies--unaware of anything....

Come on, flippyKippy, think! You gotta start thinking like a criminal!

People PMed the Admins like mad because I was, I guess, "disrupting their diets." Yeah right. I tried to help them.

I sent a ticket into the help desk requesting my membership be reinstated. Because I hadn't done anything wrong. To my surprise, Kimmer responded and actually complimented me! She undid the ban. That's when I first started to doubt, just a little, about the things that were being said about her. Because she replied to me and brought me back.

That's right, this is TURTUL. Now ex-Kimkins member. I tried to stand up for you people (kk members) and I was stomped on and ridiculed multiple times. Enough is enough. I don't want my membership back, not after I got screwed over TWICE arguing for THEIR rights.

I'm going to stay here at LCF and look forward to a refund of my money. Enough. Is. Enough.

Sorry for the rant, guys.
I posted in one of your threads right before I was banned. I can relate to being upset after it happens. I am not 100% sure why I was banned it was the next morning after the TOS thing with SL but I had just commented to a member who was upset and depressed.
Kimmer said. Great Ideas HoneyBee and then I got banned so I got banned and punked.

That's interesting. Kimmer told me "I was one smart cookie." She mentioned several other things as well, mostly positive. I never had a problem with her, as in, we never confronted each other.

But now, times have changed. While I appreciate her letting me back in, all of this is too much for me to handle. All these poor people are so...confused. I hope they come here.

WOE: Thin So Fast
Start Date: March 2008
Just found the e-mail in my inbox...I sent back a "reply" that I'm sure no one will see or read or respond to, but it felt good to type it.


Hogwash! I demand a refund of my "Lifetime Membership" I paid in June. Yes, I know it was in June, but nothing has been delivered as promised. And I was "banned" a month ago from the site for TOS violations when all I wondered was why the diet was so different from the one printed in Woman's World. I have never been confronted with such lies and stupidity. I have signed every petition and law suit I can get my hands on. I have documentation for everything wrong and deceptive you have done...no matter WHO owns this thing, and if I don't receive a full refund immediately, I'll continue to do more. I have my receipts from Paypal ,etc. I'll mail you my reference number to the Paypal account I used to pay my $59 if you need it, but you should have it in your records with my e-mail that you still obviously have. You do know that this is going to get BIG and will go down in internet history as one of the biggest scams uncovered! Shame on all of you involved in this, even if you just backed into it. Oh, but I guess that doesn't bother any of you. How could it...you'd not be involved still if you knew or could feel shame.
Okay, okay, I'm stepping back from the keyboard.

Why then, if Kimmer isn't Heidi, is Heidi the registered owner of the site? And if Kimmer isn't Heidi, why is she saying she'll be back and posting after saying the site has been sold?

Heidi, Heidi, Heidi. I've given you so many pointers along the way. To be a successful scammer, you must remember context, remember your lies (in fact, I'd recommend a database that you can easily cross reference as needed), and above all, scan your after photos from a 5-year old magazine or catalog that is not electronically accessible. I'm rather disappointed in you.

I hope you don't mind if I put the bolded part in my signature - that's just too, too funny!

Okay this is hard....

(seriously wiping tears here... I miss Kimmer, there is NO ONE like our Kimmer) hugs....

BUT I have to trust her that she is doing what is best for US, somehow, somewhere....

She did NOT abandon US here... she left us a form of contact so we can reach her directly.


I cherish her dearly and will alwaysssssssssss defend her and the Kimmer plan.


I am having withdrawals already and truth be told I wanna go buy a pizza and eat the whole pie by myself and sulk,

but I know she wouldnt want that of me or anyone here.....

please trust that we know in our hearts that Kimmer did what was best for US,

I believe that in my heart and I hope you all do too.

Please continue to love and pray for her, please.

sincer
