Why the fascination with Kimmer? #7

I have been lurking since thread #5 and all the drama is so exciting! Woo! I have a membership at scamkins and have been lurking there as well. I was on the diet for about a week until I found out I was pregnant and quit.

Anyway I have no great contributions except holy crap. I cannot believe the folks on Kimkins are trusting and believe Dr Full-of-it! I would be wary to accept medical advice from anyone on Kimkins anyway, PLUS, the man cannot spell. He cannot spell, he cannot write, and his grammar SUCKS. This BOTHERS me. It bothers me when anyone uses "your" instead of "you're," but it's worse when someone claiming to have a medical background does it. Yikes!

Also, he's not really saying anything new to these posters. "Take a vitamin," duh. To the person who posted on ADD/ADHD, he basically said "don't eat sugar and get enough rest." Huh?! And there was an EXCELLENT reply to that by some poster, which was deleted after he replied to the first message. Uh huh.

Anyway...that's all the input I have. Yay for the hater detectives!

Good things come to those who wait
Welcome to the "den of hate".

Well first of all, the ADD post was from over a year ago, which makes me think (like someone else said) that Dr. Mark is just going through and answering whatever because he is paid by the response. I did think that the post that was deleted was MUCH more helpful than Dr. Mark's. The girl who posted it had a lot of experience with ADD and had great advice for the original poster. I also think I have seen other people's responses "disappear" while Dr. Mark swoops in to answer the questions. I'll have to watch more carefully next time.

You're right, the terminology is very off. I do have to wonder if this is really Dr. Mark or if, as has been suggested, his name has just been stolen. I worry that the reason he does not have a last name is so he cannot be identified. Maybe Kimmer/TT stole his credentials from his website and are deliberately talking like he writes so he can't be tracked down for real. It's far out, I know, but so is Kimmer

Happy birthday Honeybee, and thanks for the congrats If anyone wants to diet I have this great plan called pregnancy...it's where you eat anything you can find and throw it all up two seconds later. Yeah, it's been a fun one...

Gut feeling says he is not on the up and up, but a gut feeling is not a reason for anyone to react so I will research a little more. Hey, Dr. Mark should have hired one of us to research for him because if something is out there we will find it.

HB congratulations on your restraint and not rushing to judgment.

It's hard not to considering what we know about the rest of the KK posse. But, the truth will out!

But, I am usually wrong......sigh. Carry on.

Well we have a guy who has a web page with the same intro and stated credentials as the guy on kk and that guy has an address in the same city as TT and......well you get it

It still doesn't mean that he knows he's on kk though!

We don't know LadyJ that he is really the person answering or if someone snagged his information off the net and is using his profile.
We don't know if he is the guy on the internet for sure 100% but close based on the information given that is the correct person
We don't know if he is aware of the kimkins scandal and doesn't care
We don't know if he is NOT aware of the kimkins scandal.

We are just looking at the options, researching the information, watching the posting responses and forming opinions.
So you are not wrong to have an opinion that something could be off,
because regardless of all those "We don't know" above WE DO KNOW

Kimmer is a liar, cheat, scam artist, thief, internet profile stealer, fake pic poster, has many identies, loves to be things she is not, loves to answer questions on-line, loves to have authority, loves her some money, doesn't care if her advice is correct or hurts others AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL SHE HAS LIED TO ALL OF US HERE BEFORE!!!
So you call them like you seem them.

ETA- (I'm too slow Golite beat me)...Or you can read Golite's short and to the point answer that is the same as mine but I took the long way around. Where is that girl Karma

I forgot to introduce myself so that you do not confuse me with a KK plant. My name is Jen and I have been on and off the Atkins wagon since March. My highest weight in May 2006 was 266. In March of 2007, I started Atkins (245) and have lost a decent about 40 lbs. I typically lose 3-5 lbs per week...........which is good except I get bored and go off the plan, which results in 10lbs up.....10lbs down!
I live in So. Cal and have three super cute boys 15, 11 and 9. My youngest has autism and is truly my hero!
As far as this topic goes, it interests me because back in July I read the WW article. I went to the site and was thoroughly disgusted that you had to "pay" to read about someone that received all of her support and advice for free. To me, that is ridiculous.
So that's me in nut shell.

My other concern is that if Dr. Mark is a real person, Tippy will have warned him about us haters and he'll just ignore us. That would be completely idiotic, yes, but so is telling someone they'll get better by drinking Gatorade.

Not that I give much credence to these studies, but even those people aren't doing low carb AND low cal. People don't seem to be getting that that combo is especially unhealthy. Kimmer seems to have stumbled upon the most dangerous way to starve yourself. Way to go Heidi.

My stomach sank when I first saw the lawn chair pic. When she claimed that obviously old white shirt pic was current, I just KNEW she was a liar. I felt so lost when I saw the patio chair pic b/c I couldn't believe I was wrong about her.
(Good to know my sixth sense was RIGHT )

As for Dr Mark. I bet you he is clueless about the controversy. He seems too honest. By responding to that Russian Bride post, he is already standing out amongst the other admins. I would not be surprised if Kimmer and TT TOTALLY DUPED him too! I kind of feel bad for him (but I will reserve judgment until I see how fast he is out of there).

[Mayberryfan]

If there really is a Dr. Mark posting at KK's, he's probably lost whatever license he has and is desparate to make a buck. He would take Tippy's word that everything there is hunky-dory and she could explain us "haters" away by telling him not to waste his time since we're only here because we're jealous of the fabulous and svelt Kimmer.

I think he's being used by Kimmer. Imagine that?! But, that said, he's a dolt if he doesn't research her and try to salvage any credibility he may still have. Tick tock, doc. Time isn't on your side or Kimmers!

That right there just screams "TIPPY". She has a burning need to be some sort of an authority.

Oh Molly you are sweet, but I am judging in my mind but I won't react just yet. Meaning contacting him or making a blog or posting anything as a fact before I know more. But I will still share some of what is odd or off to me and if I find something that could be of use I would post it. I definitely can understand how we all would have doubts, myself included, because we have heard lie after lie from kimmer and the staff there.
So having my doubts about the situation, but not reacting just yet.

BTW- Do you know why certain words in his text would be underscored like met_abolism or pres_crip_tion?
I wondered if it was a copy and paste from somewhere and that it was showing that way due to a hyperlink...
Any ideas ....anyone?

[jenjenjen]

Who is Tippy???

[kakay]

Will some one please ask Dr Mark what I can do about hot flashes? And I wont take the answer Drink some gatorade. I think he must be a friend of tt, maybe even the dr that approved her to do kimkins, that would explain a lot. I am to the point that I wouldnt put any thing past them over at the kimpire. I believe it wont be long until they are going to mess with the wrong person, then they will all find a HUGE law suit on them. If they did steal this mans identity from the web they could be in BIG TROUBLE MISTER. I know if there is any thing to be found on Dr Mark you girls wont rest til you find it. WE can all sleep knowing that the LCF Detectives are hard at work!

[Mayberryfan]

Is Tippy as sick as Kimmer? I never knew her over there and I wasn't here when she used to frequent this forum.

[Krisis]

Oh the broken up text! I was going to ask you guys what was up with t_ha_t!! I have actually seen that in a lot of different posts by different users, so it's not just him. It could still be a copy and paste thing, but I don't know.

Oh my gawd! You know that would be so like this entire situation. Impossible but True.
I can just see it now......
"We took many members from LCF when Kimmer left and started her own website. This caused a tremendous amount of tension and animosity between us and LCF. This has escalated to the point of where the members there have started a hate campaign and are spreading propaganda all over the internet. They have even gone as far as threatening phone calls to the home of our staff and vicious emails. The members here report numerous emails and posts trying to state how horrible Kimkins is for your health. This is an awful situation Dr. Mark and I HOPE they don't try to include you in their terrorist attacks."

BINGO! Do you know if anyone has sent an email to him to see if he is the website Dr. and to advise him of the hornets nest he is hanging his shingle at?
