Everybody, I am going to lock the "Ask Kimmer" thread. Part of the idea for the management group is "less Kimmer more Kimkins" and then I can focus on the behind-the-scenes stuff that we do.

Questions? Ask in Kimkins Cafe or Newbie Support. The admins are busy bees zooming around to answer as quick as they can.

Thanks for the emails about a Kimkins Gathering! We've had suggestions for locations including Las Vegas, Atlantic City or spa resorts in Arizona. We'll be talking more about (maybe a vote?) and get planning and info to everyone!
Please note, although no boardcode and smiley buttons are shown, they are still useable

Bold added by me....yeah, they're busy bees alright. Busy banning people and deleting posts. That's the "behind the scenes stuff" that they do. Incredible. These people are absolutely incredible. How can ANYONE on that site believe that this isn't a scam? Isn't Kimmer what Kimkins is based on? So now the management group wants to focus on the diet and not on the person who developed it? How convenient, for the person who developed it anyway. In other words, don't ask Kimmer anything. Just do as you're told.

We forgive pretty easily around here once people wave a white flag, don't we gals?

I was wondering:

What about tippykins and singingass....should they be forgiven?

I say NO!

Just about anyone else I would welcome with open arms.

What say you?

Gosh. I feel so bad for that poor Heidi Diaz woman. I thought she *was* Kimmer. How could I have been so wrong?

shelby7851 · 10-03-2007, 10:25 AM

wow....thus the quiet Kimmer exit isnt it? putting the 'management team' in charge, while she slinks off in her new Nissan. so i guess they took the 'personal access to Kimmer' out of what you get for your money?

golite · 10-03-2007, 10:26 AM

I can't believe all y'all haters! You should feel sorry for poor Heidi!

Kimmer made her keep up the pretense of who she is and now Heidi will be hauled into court and have to give up the real name of her BFFL, Kimmer, against her will or go to jail for contempt.
She won't get no sugar cookies in jail and y'all know what those carb withdrawals feels like!
That poor, poor woman is going to suffer and y'all are clapping.............sheesh!

sammymomma · 10-03-2007, 10:27 AM

Why get rid of Ask kimmer thread......because ther IS NO Kimmer???

Der De Der?

The idea of posting it on any forum you belong to is a good one, because even though it may not be a diet forum we all seem to try to lose weight at some point in our lives.
I honestly thought about trying to handout fliers with the link and a brief summary after the next PTA meeting.
The name Kimkins needs to be associated with the fraud it truly is and I say even if someone was not doing Kimkins they could consider it in the future if not warned.
Put up a flier on the local library bulletin. I know that a lot of woman put up items there so would see the information.

You could send it to those still advertising for kimkins and/or affiliates.
I am sending to Google Adwords. I think Kimkins Dangers had a list recently. I check and post a link.

But keep spreading the word!!!

kiwi8 · 10-03-2007, 10:33 AM

I started KK about Aug of last year, I never really followed the diet 100%, and I know I was in here saying you should listen to your body blar blar...I have a confession to make now, and as I write this tears well in my eyes because for the first time I realize that I may have some kind of an eating disorder now, and to even admit something like this is so so very hard for me. When I joined KK, I was thrilled to see that all these people were eating so little, it was the conformation I was looking for that eating next to nothing was OK. I had gone to many diet sites and the mods there would always say " you need to eat at least 1200 cals a day" and what not...I always struggled to lose weight, my thyroid and metabolism was so screwed up, and still is. When I got the conformation I needed ( eating 300-400 cals a day was ok ) I literally went whole hog. I water fasted for 10-12 days at a time, I would simply put it back on after a month or 2.....but I learnt something that was really cool ( I thought) and that was how to vomited my food back up ( please nobody attack me here, this is hard for me to admit as it is) I always used to joke about how neat it would be if I could like go on a binge and then puke it all back up, but I never could do it, and I did try it, but I hate puking. Anyway's what I discovered is that when you lower you cals so so low as I did on the KK diet, that SNATT feeling you get, well it helps ever so much to bring on the vomit, your body starts to reject food. For the first time in my life I was able to go without food for up to 12 days and just water fast, allowing myself a cup of back coffee in the morning. I think what happens is that your digestive system shuts down, then when you try and eat, it all gets stuck in your throat and you don't even have to put your fingers down your throat to purge, it just comes out all by itself.I have also been using laxative teas, I even went a step further though, and when lax teas weren't working, well I went and purchased an enema kit, it helped to see a the numbers change on the scale, now how obsessed is that. Now for all you KK people listen up....I was here but mere hours ago defending this women to the end.....WHY.....because in all fairness I was protecting myself, protecting this form of eating that I have adapted and didn't want to admit I was wrong....this is one hard pill for me to swallow, because now I AM SCARED....I am scared of food, food has become an enemy to me......The reason that I have not lost a lot of weight on KK is because I simply put it all back on.....I have had a cycling type of diet going on, where I eat like crazy for a month to 6 weeks, then I starve myself for a month or so, and it all starts again......I started a personal journal which you can all read at KK, its called " come high or low waters" in there you can see how I am fasting, and how others were cheering me on, you can see how some were also telling me to be careful and I was like" heck no I can do this, I am focused" They took the fasting thread down, but there I had pictures posted of myself having lost 12 pounds in 8 days, I was so so proud......I hope that someone reads this and listen's to that little quiet voice in there head telling them THIS IS THE TRUTH, THE LIGHT......I am faced with learning how to eat again, eat without vomiting, eat without feeling guilty......I am not laying blame totally on KK, but for people like me that have been desperate to lose weight, this is the conformation they have been looking for to starve themselves. I too have been suffering with side effects.....losing handfuls of hair, having heart palpitations,I strange tingling down my left arm, a total loss of energy, I went and got blood test because I had lost my short term memory, I could not remember my sons birthday even and it was scary, I was suffering from insomnia and all kinds of different things. When I got my blood test back, everything was screwed up, all my female hormones, it put me into early menopause, I am 37 years old, my human growth hormone was at the age of a 97 yr old women, I kept getting rashed all over my body and I would go on antibiotics which didn't help, then I started getting all kinds of yeast infections, which I have never ever had, just a long list of things. I have many different excuses I have mustered up for these things. To come clean about the KK diet, is to come clean with yourself, and admitting I have a huge problem with food is extremely hard to do because what it means for people like me is WHAT NOW......for those who feel they haven't adapted this bad identity with food yet, just know if you continue to eat even 800 cals a day, you soon will. I want to publicly reach out to all of you who are still stuck in this place, I know how lonely and scary it is, come make that first step with me, I am scared too.......I knew full well that everyone here was trying to get the message threw, but I could not except it. This has been the hardest thing for me to admit....I am sorry

Rose1271 · 10-03-2007, 10:33 AM

Just wanted to say GREAT JOB to everyone involved in getting that on the air and a GREAT JOB to everyone who either directly or indirectly got everything rolling: investigations, lawsuits, questions, questions, questions. Everyone's persistence really paid off.

Unfortunately, I could only see the video as I'm at work. No speakers!

I did read the transcripts, though. I'll have to check it out when I get home.

I have to admit, I skipped about 25 pages of posts just to get to the end because I kept seeing a link in someones siggy (sorry, can't remember who...katinsac or honey maybe?) saying Kimmer was on the news. Had to check it out as I'm too impatient!!!

Keep up the good fight fellow low carbers!!!

Also, the way HBGal was portrayed in the news story could be seen as a subtle advertisement for Kimkins. HBGal is hot enough that I could see people be willing to pay the $60 for a chance to look like her, regardless of how Kimmer looks.

This obviously isn't HBGal's fault or anything. I just really hope that the news story hits the health issues hard tonight (other than the typical "low carb is bad" BS

).

Aww, you guys!

I'm sure they're airing the side effects tonight, whether what I said will be included in that or not, I don't know, so that would definitely be enough to turn anyone away, no matter what! I know I never would have done it had I known better. I really should have known better.

I wanted to change my name so that no one in the Kimpound would pick up on my posts and ban me. I loaned my username and password so that a "littlebit" of information could be posted at KK's some time in the early a.m. I understand that by using it and possibly some others, the news story was posted about 75 times.

Thanks for listening!

P.S. I have now been issued the white screen of death. Thanks Tippy Toes, SingingLass, Kimmerwhoeveryouare, etc.

Thanks Rebel.. we've tried very hard to keep in mind that a lot of people have been hurt by this and need to get it out

Apology accepted, Tracy. C'mon in and soothe your damaged heart and feelings. I hope you'll forgive the unseemly exuberance today ; we're not happy to cause any KK'ers such damage, but the Scammer is getting busted!

You might just want to hide out in the Main Lobby for a while if you need peace and quiet to regroup.
