[HoneyBee2]

Well I am going to get some sleep. Again thanks to all who have helped move the case against Kimmer/Heidi Diaz forward. I'm sure it has not been without bumps along the way and there were those who wanted to divert the efforts, but thank you for keeping your focus!
BIG HUGS

It has been worth staying up until almost 5am to get a glimpse of her on video. I really feel relieved that she is now out there past our internet dieting world. Oddly enough I feel like it will be ok now that others know she exists. Just something about the media that makes it seem like it can't be swept under the rug as easily now.......WHEW!
Well goodnight!

[Sherrie_lc]

Its only 6:23pm for me

Something good actually happened whilst I was awake!!!

Goodnight

I just want to say that it is amazing what you have all done. I only came back to look on LCF after a few years away - didnt expect to find all this. I just wanted some recipes

I took a peak at the boards - and Ive been stuck here since (5 days - and im sorry but I have had to skip so much of of it).

I hope you are all immensely proud of what you have acheived so far - much of what I have read over the last few days has had me close to tears (and occaionally that has been from laughing). To say I'm gobsmacked at how the whole "Kimmer" thing turned out is an understatement. I always just thought she was a bit rude. I didnt even realise she had her own website till a few months ago when I found a link on an Aussie website. I had a look - but wouldnt pay the money (THAT was a good call it seems!). However, based on what I read on these forums way back when, I did start cutting down on the fat - and it hasnt suited me that well. I feel for everyone who was convinced to do the same and then some. The only reason I havent re-read DANDR yet is because ive been so busy reading these boards and blogs.

However this ends up - its gratifying to know that there are people out there willing to stand up and fight for themselves and for others. Thank you

Hugs

Please don't say it was from mine, I'd hate to think mine sent customers her way!

(or in your case almost)

Whoo hooo, I got the best birthday present ever.....

[Reesie]

I hit Becky's blog and I saw that video,, i was thought I had woken kiddo with my WOOOOHOOOOO!!! I can't wait til the next one!!

[robsrib]

Happy Birthday Michelle

That video is GREAT!!!!!!!!!! I wonder if there is a way to download it and get it on YouTube? I hope someone with more computer savvy than me can do it.

Looking so forward to installment #2!

I sent the News Station a KUDOS email. Also stated I hoped they could push it affiliates in other places since the scam is so far reaching.

The Private Detective's report is interesting too...sugar cookies on the car seat! I think that's called "tweaking" the plan?

[TammySue]

Awesome video! Great work, everyone!

[Hxxx]

Oooh - just checked - and it wasnt an Aussie Site - it was Sugarbane - and ive no idea where they are based Sorry for besmirching the Aussies!

She has to spend all that money you know. Probably put the car in her sons name. Along with any extra funds that were in her paypal account wiping her out to $0

It aired on the prime news which goes from 10-11pm in California, they then put it up online just after the news segment finished.

Ok I've typed it all up for those poor people on dial up lol.

Images from the news piece:

ETA: Sorry guys, exceeded bandwith so just incase the pics dont' show for you I attach them below Everything in Italics below is added by me.

Leila And now a KTLA exclusive for you. The founder of a popular internet diet is facing tough questions. Is she actually who she says she is?

Emmet Chip Yost has been investigating this intriguing case joins us now with more, Chip.

Leila and Emmet, the kimkins diet has taken off on the internet. It’s based on a mixture of a couple of diets, most notably the Atkins diet. Its success can largely be traced to the amazing claims of the diet’s founder. A woman known as “the Kimmer”. But what we and others found, is that "the Kimmer’s" claims may not be all they’re cracked up to be.

Chip:“Ma’am can you look at this picture I’m showing you.” [kimmer in the car]

Why is this woman in such a hurry to get away from us? The answer starts at this website, kimkins.com. It’s a website that says if you buy a lifetime membership for $59.95 and follow the kimkins diet, you can lose more than 2 pounds a week, with no exercise. The diet is named after the website’s founder. A woman known as "the Kimmer". This was supposedly "the Kimmer" before the diet. This is what she says she looked like 11 months later. After dramatically losing 198lbs on her diet. [images of the website and her blue flowery before shot, and red dress shot ]

Heidi (HBGal) And I was really happy for her, cause I felt like I kinda knew her. Umm, So I went over and I joined. [Heidi (HBGirl) interviewed ]

Heidi [HBGirl] who lives in southern California was sold. She signed up, and thousands of others did too. [Heidi(HBGirl) walking outside] Especially after many of them saw the diet featured in a woman’s world magazine cover story. Inside the magazine, Kimmer’s story was told again. Alongside the story of another woman who lost weight on the kimkins diet. But unlike the other dieter, who posed for pictures, Kimmer wasn’t interviewed in person. In fact, it seemed no one in the dieting world had ever really seen her in person. [shots of the ww article] Even heidi [HB girl] tried to meet up with her when she found out they lived only a few miles apart.

Heidi (HBGal) “She always had an excuse, something with her kids, or she was doing something or another.” [Heidi (HB Girl) at computer]

Suspicions began floating. Is kimmer really that lady in the red dress? [red dress] A former business partner of Kimmer who also had never met her in person, decided to hire private investigator Bob Charlton of Alliance Investigative Services to find out who Kimmer really was. [images from surveillance of green van]

Charlton knew Kimmer’s real name was Heidi Diaz and that she lived in Corona. But when he finally found her, he was in for a shock. He realised she wasn’t that thin woman in the red dress. Charlton’s investigation found that Heidi “Kimmer” Diaz was really this woman. [images from surveillance of Kimmer at petrol pump, and at store]

Chip: “And is Heidi Diaz as far as you know the Kimmer?”

Charlton: “Yes, from kimkins.com” [charlton being interviewed]

Charlton’s pictures were posted on the internet. [images of slamboard] Kimkins members were in a huff, they thought they had been taken. The Better Business Bureau offered to meet with kimmer to settle the dispute. But they too were turned down

BBB “Because she claims that she’s ahh you know, a bit shy” [BBB guy being interviewed]

Finally we decided to go to Heidi Diaz or Kimmer’s apartment ourselves to see if she would clear things up [garage underneath kimmer's apartment trying to interview Heidi]

Chip: “are you actually the person that’s been claiming to be kimmer on the kimkins.com website.”

Heidykins “No comment”

Chip: “Ma’am have you been lying to people about who you are. Ma’am, we just want to clear some things up. Are you actually Kimmer? Have you been telling people this picture is you? Can you look through the window Ma’am. Ma’am can you look at this picture I’m showing you? [Heidi gets back in car and drive's off to avoid reporter]

She didn’t answer our questions, but Heidi Diaz may soon have to answer questions before a court. Tomorrow night we’ll tell you why a class action lawsuit is about to be filed against her, and why some members claim her diet is causing them all kinds of health problems.

And one other note I should mention Emmet and Leila the picture of the lady in the red dress was taken off the website over the weekend.

[Diana]

WOW.... Look at her unable to look at the camera!! Can we get this on NBC nightly News?? LOL

[stardust1]

:c lap:

I was soooo excited when I watched the video. Finally!!!

But wait, was that regular milk that I saw in her shopping cart? Hidey, it's not ON THE LIST. What are you doing, girl?

[Violet Skye]

Whoo hooo, I got the best birthday present ever.....

Michele, Happy B-Day!

This was my best prezzie, too, and my b-day's in February. Now all the other media outlets will be peeved that KTLA broke the story. BTW, this is major - I get this channel as one of my Superstations in my digital cable package in Canada, so people across the continent are able to see the footage.

Seeing The Kimmer in her nice new car (that many of the people here subsidized), hearing the same voice that was on the Jimmy Moore interview, and seeing the interview with the PI were great. But I also must comment on our very own Heidi/hbgal, who not only looked great on camera but gave a very polished and composed interview. You are mahvellous!

And a special note to The Kimmer, who I am sure is reading this - you are nowhere as cool as The Fonz. But the participants of this thread, and our wonderfully patient Mod Squad, are!

Posted on KK within the last 30 minutes:

The TV said "Internet Diet Scam Exposed!"

Part 1 about Kimmer was on the TV Tuesday, Oct. 2, at 10 PM on KTLA television in Los Angeles.

Part 2 will be on Wednesday, Oct. 3.

Watch the video of Part 1 here.

Heidi Diaz' voice heard saying "No comment" is definitely the same as Kimmer's voice heard on the podcast with Jimmy Moore.

More confirmation has been promised. There is NO doubt that Kimmer has lied over and over again and is still lying to all of us. The 'red dress' lady isn't her, and never was. Her diet did not help her get slim and stay slim. She couldn't do it. It damaged her _meta_bolism, and she can't maintain. It is hurting LOTS of people! That is why so many have left. How do we know it's not hurting us, too, and we just don't know it yet?

Even if we feel fine right now, we are helping a fraud continue. It's just not right.

Things keep changing around here, because Kimmer knows she is in bad trouble. But it's too late. I don't think this site will be here much longer.
