Why the fascination with Kimmer? #7

[MissMerize]

Sheridan,

check again about the trademark. I mentioned it. I have good reason to believe this is true, I just cant tell you how I know as it may be too revealing.

Lurky, did you see my articles? Kimmer sucessfully maintains at a petit 200lbs!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

You're at least 50-100 lbs off there....sorry

I can't be snatching up juicy bits for you if I am BANNED.

Wow, just typing the word banned gave me a tingle up my spine, like bonnie and clyde, like I was doing something bad but it felt sooooo goooooood

Take the plan as originally written to your Dr and let them tell you why it's bad. Maybe we can't convince, but maybe your Dr can.

Wanted to add something here. When I saw my GYN, he and his assistant couldn't get over the fact that I had lost weight after struggling for a few years with it. I got to pee in a cup for him that time. At the time, I thought it odd. When I went in for the results last week it was normal except for the ketones which were only slightly elevated (because I drink a ton of water), he has ordered a full blood panel "just to check".

I told him I was doing low carb because I was too ashamed to admit I was eating practically nothing.

Smart man though- he suspects something or wouldn't order a complete panel. So I should know by the end of next month if anything has been messed up because of KK.

*back to catching up*

Three cheers for your doc!

He's obviously a good one, and you're fortunate to have him.

I can't see how Dr Mark can be anyone other than an outsider. There is no way in heck that anyone who has an inkling of understanding of what kimkins (or any low carb diet for that matter) would EVER recommend sugar laden gatorade.

Very under researched person if you ask me. And that in itself should scare people off his advice even more.

And yet.... he's an "Admin."

Dear, dear, just hold my hand, and help me get this. Seriously, I have looked everywhere possible for the "smile" icon that you said and cannot find it at all, much less any paperclip icon or symbol.

I have the message box here showing (that I am typing in now) as another helpful suggestion that was offered, but there is nothing to be found about attachments at "the bottom of the box" whatsoever!. Since I am new today (and regarding details of a previous post, interestingly, at this moment my "last visit" does STILL show that same 6:31 a.m. viewing, despite that I was NOT even a member at that time, as I browsed in and signed up hours later, and have posted several times since then!)

I wonder if I don't have availability, or access, to post photos (can a senior member of the forum address this?) until after the initial 48 hours mentioned in my welcome e-mail.

Or another thought is that my server is limited? That I doubt, since spouse does a lot of high-tech business from here. Anybody still there, a kind and patient soul? I just hate to be any nuisance, so I don't mind a bit if you ignore this post. Just sincerely wanted to show these pix. Am I overlooking something?

I think you might be using the quick reply box at the bottom of the page. If you click on "quote" in the lower right hand corner of a post you want to reply to, that will bring up an "advanced" text box. Or, you can just click "go advanced" (right under that box), and that will bring up the text box with the attachment options.

BTW, we know how this conversation moves along... several people have probably already told you this in the time it took me to finish reading the page and type this out.

Someone needs to send him the 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet article. That gives a very concise breakdown of the scam and the health problems associated. Also, they need to tell him that Kimmer is being investigated and has already had a news program do a series on her and her scam.

Yes, then if he doesn't care - Sayonara Doc. You've missed the Mark!

Okay, people, I got it! Here is BOTH photos of the supposedly-same person, all within a month's time. Introducing Danielle Hauck. Now I ask you?

First pic is the full frontal facial as her ADMIN entrance as a newbie, and the second is what is now replacing it after she vanished, then reposted with a new knowledge and new writing style, then seemingly-dropped off the face of the forum, yet apparently / supposedly she still (even now) "checks in" while suddenly "remaining silent" and not answering direct queries?

Guarded and objective, I still hold some degree of thought that the first Danielle was the stumbling-n-bumbling person who first came on new and asked some sincerely innocent questions, then continued with display of some admitted ignorance. It just seemed too obvious that the 2nd Danielle replaced her, same full name and user name, etc. , and a bit insulting to those who have any shred of intelligence. Did the original person leave, and then the role was assumed, as speculated? If indeed it is all the same person who has been doing her postings all along, then they keenly 'used' this and 'played' both roles of the 'first' Danielle AND the 'second' Danielle? If that be true, they must be quite a (sick?) character who clearly has very SEVERE (and likely potentially dangerous) mental problems.Throw in that this could possibly be coupled with a split personality, to be able to play-act so convincingly with clear display of DUAL profile and personality, to any observer of her posts!

As we know, her last post showed a distinctly different person, without question, not only to the reader, but in addition to the SECOND photo being replaced then as shown in the attachment here. Who are the gals in the photos, then? And did the 'real' Danielle Hauck (of California, yes) know, live, go to school, or be associated in some manner with the very person who may have falsely used her name and persona? Can't say she stole identity, but certainly poses many questions.

That second photo looks like a stock photo. Way too slick.

My doctor explained that my body went into a starvation mode and started shutting down nonessential functions. It was using whatever calories I took in to keep my organs warm and therefore my extremeties were cold. This made perfect sense to me and as soon as I stopped the diet, I returned to normal, my hair stopped falling out and eventually grew back. I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, this guy is "fair game". If he doesn't stop dispensing this bogus advice to unsuspecting people, he's no better than Kimmer, Tippy and SingingAss.

You know what though? I don't see ANYTHING in her question that tells the guy that she's been starving herself. Maybe he should have asked her exactly how much she was eating, but I'm going to guess that he's assuming she's just reduced her carb intake. She's eating low carb. That's all she says. This guy doesn't know what we know. If someone here asked why they were cold, I doubt anyone would jump to the conclusion that they were in starvation mode. Eating low carb doesn't normally translate to starving yourself unless your doing Kimkins, and he doesn't know that.

I'm not defending the guy, I'm just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt for now and see things through his eyes.

THAT IS AWESOME!!! At least we now know who the lady in the red dress is. Irony is that as much as those ladies would love to get out of Russia, Heidi probably wishes she was in Russia right now
