Hello Everyone,

My name is Dr. Mark and I have come here to help. For 20 years I have worked with all types of people, helping them achieve their physical goals:

¡ The athlete that cannot seem to take it to the next level.
¡ The housewife that can not lose the 20 lbs she gained over the years.
¡ The woman who wants to exercise, but the discs in her back give her such pain.
¡ The person who sees food as her only friend.

You can achieve your goals. You can succeed in your weight loss. You can especially succeed in regaining your health!

Sometimes we get caught up only in the goal -- I want to be in that size 5 or I want to lose 60 lbs. Remember that it is the journey and the destination. With every day that you eat better, every week that you lose a pound, you are making your body work better. Your endocrine system, your muscles, your brain … That is what I want for you.

Bring to me your problems and excuses (yes I said excuses). Let’s work on a solution together. I KNOW there is one. Your life is worth finding it.

My name is Dr. Mark and I have come here to help.

Yours in Health,
Dr. Mark


I don't think trotting out a Chinese Herbalist without a last name or a website to link to for credentials or success stories is going to give KK anymore value or respectability. Nice try though to the admins over there...

Compare her calories/carbs with the supposed weight losses on the graph on the bottom of her pages. Look at the great length she went to trick us that her diet made her thin. SO many discrepancies!! Look at how low her calories are THIS year, and she gave us this FitDay link to "encourage" us so that we too could be THIN like her. All we had to do was just read & follow her lead! Compare the weight losses to what she said in her recent KK homepage (the one she deleted) about her starting weight and ending weight. She simply couldnt keep it straight, thank God this was a PUBLIC page! This sick woman put in 6 YEARS of bogus reports on her fitday, I think this speaks mountains about her mental state. This is a SHOUT OUT to any KK members reading this. Go to her FitDay Journal, look at what she encouraged us to follow. Look at the LIES she spoon fed us.

Whoever is keeping tabs for legal purposes might want to screenshot those. More lies.

And she didn't spoonfeed. She shoveled at an alarming rate!

But now, for consistency's sake, Tippy and those nasty KK-ers need to scold and berate and shame Kimmer for eating 277 or 175 or similar calories per day. Didn't she know it was DUMB of her to do that? I mean, man, she's really STUPID, say the high-minded, enlightened posters at KK, huh? And Tippy advises no lower than 800. Stupid, stupid Kimmer for not knowing better as Supreme Leader of the Diet Cult. (Tippy may want to revise history, but history persists in showing up online.)

Oh, hang on. Nah. You don't look like the woman in white stretch pants eating 175 and 277 calories.

Any thought that this was an accidental fraud is a delusion of mad dimensions. A fake series of Fitday posts is nowhere near an accident. That's calculated. That took planning. That took ongoing, cold, clinical lying.

Did she ever post the sugar cookies, I wonder?

The Princess off to blow-dry her royal tresses

He was thinking the Zoloft might help with the headaches too but alas they are not. Now I cannot take Imitrex or anything else except T3 which does help take the edge off and keeps me from vomiting. I will not be on Zoloft forever (hopefully) so what are the side effects and experiences from both verapamil and the topomax meds? What do you take for the breakthrough migraines?

I have no side effects from the Topamax. Also you should go to a good allergy doc and have a complete allergy screening. My neurologist also sent me for this and you would be surprised at the things that can cause migraines.

That whole "Dr. Mark" thing looks mighty suspcious to me. No last name? Or is Mark the last name? He sees patients? Where? What city? Where are his degrees from? You think people would want to know at least some of that information before taking online advice.

I'd be curious what he looks like too ... maybe gungadinn can find him on the allgrooms site!

I wondered how long it would take after my journal posts and a forum post telling members to do the research and stop supporting the fraud. Of coure, it could have been me posting here and doing a post on Kimkins in my blog.

I've filed my 5th request for a refund of my $29.95 but I doubt that will go anywhere. Paypal already turned me down so I'm probably SOL on the money.

Now, where do I get a badge?

GinaC reporting for duty!!

Want a badge? Just let me know the name you want on it and the division you wish to join.

So far we have:
Lurker
Fraud
Undercover
Special Ops
Russian Bride
or you can make up your own division.

If you have a color preference, I'll also do that.

Sorry I've been AWOL, but unlike MrsM my hubby don't do dishes! He does windows though so I let him hang around. I did pop in last night to catch up and respond to Bluebonnet or whatever her name was.

to all the new refugees and my condolences to all who have suffered a loss and also to those going through difficult times with loved ones in poor health. I lost both of my parents within 6 months of each other and my heart aches for them every day.


ETA-her name was bluebrooke

One pound a week. Heidi/Kimmer would have told him off in technicolor as a wuss for being satisfied with one measly pound a week. (Which, btw, happens to be my weekly goal. I'm a wuss.)

Did Dr. Mark ever post his credentials, his full name, the location of his practice, where he's licensed, etc. Or, you know, is he a doctor the way Heidi is 120 pounds and a size four?

I see that the BBB has lowered the rating for Kimkins to an "F"!!!

I just think its hilarious that some woman in Russia has been on the cover of a popular magazine and has no clue. I think she should be able to get her hands on some of the kimkins cash.

At this time it would be best NOT to contact them.
The site that had the fake pic that Womens World used, immediately removed it from their page after they were contacted.
If we want people to be able to link to these sites to see the placement of these pictures for themselves, we need to avoid having them removed from those sites.
Many of their pictures were bought as stock photos. Some of the photos were taken under false pretenses and those women don't even know their picture is on the site. Some photos were part of a casting call and the women signed a release and again, they don't even know their photos are on these sites.

Dr. Mark!! What a riot! Well, if he knows anything about anything, he will hightail his credentials out of there..before he ruins anyone's endocrine system. I can't believe this is anyone but a desperate quack..Ducky will have fun with him!!!

Yeah, that'll happen when a news station does a scam artist story on you and a bunch of hater detectives find nearly all your success stories are bogus.

[HoneyBee2]

I'm behind y'all but wanted to post some and I am going to update the lists and regroup.

For all the Newcomers or those who have not done so yet PLEASE sign the petition!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE BEEN A KIMKINS MEMBER OR EVER DONE KIMKINS-if you feel she needs to be investigated. You can also do a BBB review but she is now a "F" so that is great. But do a review if you want your words out there. I would also say a complaint to show that you did attempt a formal process for a refund. REVIEW first then COMPLAINT because you have to wait 30 days to do a complaint if you do a review first.
AND WELCOME!!!! ALL BANNED MEMBERS!

And when you tell the BBB representative you can't meet up with him to clear up things because you're too shy.

Re:Hello Everyone! 6 Minutes ago
Hey Dr. Mark,
Nice to meet you. Are you a real Doctor? Do you mind sharing with us what type of Dr you are. I know many of the ladies here will enjoy getting the chance to ask you questions.

They really need some help & guidance over there. Look at what this persons eating and calling it Atkins.

Vallina Whey Protein Powder ( 2 serving ) 240 4 2 46
Diet Sodas ( 24 fl oz ) 0 0 0 0
Lettuce, raw ( 1 cup, shredded or chopped ) 7 0 1 1
Beef, bacon, cooked ( 1 slice, cooked (approx .8 oz, raw) ) 29 2 0 2
Egg, whole, boiled ( 1 large ) 77 5 1 6
Cheese, Muenster ( 1 slice (1 oz) ) 104 9 0 7
Beef, sliced, prepackaged or deli, luncheon meat ( 1 thin slice ) 25 1 1 4
Mayonnaise-type salad dressing, low-calorie or diet ( 3 tablespoon ) 113 8 10 0
Total 595 29 15 66


Adding a cup of lettuce & some low cal dressing is not Atkins-she's trying Tippy's cycling plan. WAKE UP TIPPY-these people need your help on how to do Atkins correctly and why they should be doing it correctly! Geesh you claim to care so much...
