You are the birthday queen today!!!

sammymomma · 10-08-2007, 11:15 AM

hey...I have an explaination for all of this mess...really I think we owe kimmer an apology

These russian sites liked how good the success stories looked and stole her pictures...really.

I think we should close this thread too/

LJ

PS for all those who said you dont care who kimmer is...you are lying....

I cared about kimmer....she gave me hope that I could finally do this and keep it off... I truly considered her a friend. when i heard her voice in the podcast...i thought see- it is her....yeah it is her when she said no comment, and when she hung up on Jimmy. wake up. You did care who she was when you joined...and you care she was all a fake too!!!!! WAKE UP! Make sure you copy and paste all this before you send to her.

In the spirit of Gray's Anatomy, I'm callin' Dr. Mark "McSketchy". That's alls I got.

You're such a nitpicker, really!

She must be one of those Negative Nancys! Geez... don'tcha just hate em???

The more I dwell on this the more little things I think of that she lied about.

Take for instance her before picture when she was at LCF. People questioned her on it saying she didn't look like she could weigh 318 lbs. She said "she carried her weight well" (snort) I mean she even posted an old picture of herself when she weighed less and tried to pass it off as weighing 318. Why do that???

And her after picture at LCF. It was a 20 year old picture and she explained it by saying she "had good genes" I have good genes too but at 44 I certainly don't look 24.

And using a picture of a 27 year old woman as her after picture at kimkins. Get real. At least use a picture of someone your own age. big ego much?

I can't imagine the hours and hours it took her to come up with all of this stuff...and carry on the charade for years.

So if this member joined prior to that disclaimer she needs to point out that now they have one so the site is acknowledging a risk, thus proving her point which should result in a full refund. But of course I am using logic and discussing a regular business....and Kimkins doesn't use logic and is not a formal business.

That disclaimer should be enough for TT to just refund. The guilt trip (was it TT that posted that?) was ridiculous, irresponsible, and dangerous!

And can someone confirm her numbers. I thought she'd lost the bulk on Atkins (is that posted here on LCF) and then stalled even on Kimkins, and started cycling?

Kimkins rebuttal

I hope they take her up on the pass. There's plenty to see there if someone digs and hangs around long enough.

If you believe that it is my 21st B-day then you know I will be wearing my size 4 red dress tonight when I go to dinner I will post a picture of course tomorrow or I might not because I am shy!
The truth- I'm in my thirties and that is all I'm sayin...

I'm so glad you added this part because if you were turning 21 .. well, I have kids older than that!

I have to comment on this because I am a Certified Nephrology Nurse. No one other than a nephrologist should be giving a CKD (chronic kidney disease) stage 2 patient nutrition advice, since the nephrologist has the best understanding of the origin and pathophysiology of the specific patient's renal disease. I cannot believe that anyone over there would try to give this person advice...well actually, with all that's happened, I guess I can. How irresponsible!!!!

Also, I am thinking that Dr. Mark is the long lost cousin of Dr. Nick (Hello, everybody!).

Anyway, I just thought I would pop in from lurkdom to contribute to a topic I know a little about. Keep up the good work with the investigation!! You are all awesome!

Irresponsible is like first nature over there. I get so mad thinking about all they brush aside, ignore, give crap advice about, and erase just to keep the dang $. blech. makes me sick.

We are in the process of investigating this matter and appreciate your concern." I personally realize that Kimkins isn't Atkins and that Atkins response to me is a blanket response. But Atkins has deep pockets. I figured if they get enough emails about it, they may start issuing formal statements discrediting the Kimkins diet and disassociating themselves from it to protect their public image (which I think they should do!).

Hey, they called it a scam. Sounds like they've already been looking into it. I know others have emailed them as well.

Welcome

out of lurker status!
I know it so frustrating isn't it.
That is why we want that site stopped before someone loses their life following that WOE and the advice given there.

I just recieved my order today! Tippy reminded me to place my order!

Alrighty! I've done a review on BBB and filed a complaint, filed a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, got on board with the class action lawsuit, filed w/ paypal(denied since it had been over a year) and sent a semi-snotty email back to KK's dumb customer service when they denied my refund.

Anything else?
