Well that had nothing to do with the story.

The store was about kimkins founder being a fraud. Stating that the pic in the red dress is a fake and she is still at her start weight. And since the report the red dress pic was taken down.

You know what??? I DON'T CARE!!!!! This diet WORKS!!!

They continued to say people are charged the 59 dollar lifetime fee and are ripped off....excuse me? 59 dollars for the rest of my life?!?! We've all seen the comparison chart for the other diets monthly and yearly costs let alone lifetime, 59 is a BARGAIN price!!!

There was a gal featured, I did not catch her name, but she gave a report with her experience saying the diet didn't work. Well girly, did you quit? Give up? Cuz I, along with MANY others are losing weight here DAILY!!!!!!!!

This is absurd and people like to bad mouth the unfamiliar, find anything they can to say yet another diet did not work.

I don't care if the founder is a size 26 or a 00 if you work this diet it works!!!!!!!!!

I watched it on Ktla channel 5 in Los Angeles, their website is www.ktla.trb.com but I don't know if anything is on there, I say we all write them and say this diet WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

how can you all say you dont care?

I was the BIGGEST personal supportr of Kimmer...the woman herself.....all the lies...how can you blindly say "i dont care!"

(posted by tnvol) Re:Kimkins bad news story 5 Minutes ago
Don't care? I was lied to. I am worried about my health, is the "founder" is not real, then how do you believe the diet is?!! I CARE!!

Does anyone know the actual date that the reporter was trying to interview Heidi- and has she been around since then. I would think she would be afraid to go back to her house.
I believe it was Monday when they contacted her..and yesterday they interviewed OUR HEIDI.

I think the damages of the diet will be on tonight.Probably with some of Christin's blog and phone interview..SO it should be great..and the lawsuit part..

I think that was bought up in Jimmy's podcast?

I posted the video link (with a short summary) to our local Fox4 news station here in Southwest Florida. I just worry about people in our community who purchased the Woman's World magazine who don't know about this site or have internet access. If I hear anything back, I'll let you know!

Since you mentioned it, by the way....

In light of recent events, if you have hesitated to sign up for the lawsuit, but now want your money back, check out the kimkinslawsuit blog in my siggy to join as a rep. There's still time to sign up!

Thanks Doodle, they are ok just really banged up from the air bags. I am sure they will feel it more today.

Sitting on the edge of my seat wondering when part 2 is gonna happen with the newscast. I need to try and get a little sleep but hate to miss any thing.

Oh shew rebel, I was thinking oh man poor girl some one hacked her. But a good way to go out! I do have some one that is still a member and not banned from there keeping me informed too so if any thing new arises from the Tippykins site oops I mean Kimpire, I will inform you all, that is if I am awake

Several times, Kimmer has said her brother ("little brother" if I remember correctly), had brittle diabetes, never took his insulin, and had died in a horrible hospital accident.

I think it's safe to say that I have been contacted. I will stand beside HBGal in that regard. I will not be on the air, though, I believe John (the attorney) will.

Did you send all of your info (name, addy, etc) in? If so, you should have gotten a confirmation e-mail at least.
