Interesting. Great research, Linda Sue!

those people being??? I posted it and took it as a reply to me!! if you have somthing specific to say to a specific person on a specific post....QUOTE it then reply! that is what its there for! I took offence because like I said, I never signed up with KK, I never signed the lawsuit, but I am still trying to help! It was offensive because it was a general comment after several people replied to my post!

Moving to the Playground is an idea worth considering, but I don't want to exclude the most recent members of Banned Camp by posting in a place with restricted access. There's a significant welcoming process that takes place in this thread, which is basically the "guichet unique" (access point) for newbies. The ability to have information plus mega-support in one thread has been helpful for many people, and I'd hate to not keep this going.

There *are* other ways of keeping information on the down-low, however, such as PMs (which are "P" and not just "Ms" here!), e-mails, closed Yahoo groups, and so on. Just sayin'......

Ask my husband hour many hours I was here looking for those russian brides instead of watching a movie with him!!

The walls are not too thin! the only reason to move the thread is to protect the information we find so they dont go change things!!!
How can I say this,.............um you've Soooo got to know I wasn't talking to you girl!

ETA didn't see your last post; Every time the subject is brought up (no fault of yours) there are certain people that comment, not just here, about "getting rid" of these threads.
I wanted my comment out there in general to those people. I never dreamed any of you would take it personal since you don't fit the criteria!
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding!
That's why I added the "thin walls" comment.

Your post "insinuated"...it "alluded to"....it "suggested" that some posters here have no right to voice their opinion because they are not working hard enough, in your opinion, to discredit Kimmer....

Is that close enough?

You didn't actually come right out and say to any person that's what you thought.....

It was sly....it was snarky....it was rude....If you have something to say to somebody, just SAY it.....

I totally agree with Lynn and Conbofan...

No offense, but I kind of took as rude, also. If I was wrong, I certainly apologize. I think that it was taken wrong because you didn't address it to one certain person or group of posters, and there was no quote for reference. The way the post read seemed to insinuate that those who haven't been posting daily on these threads were those to whom you were referring. I think anyone trying to help should have a voice.

I think LeighDear beat me to it.

Errr... about that 800 calorie minimun that Tippy keeps harping that some misunderstood and went below 800 calories. I copied this on June 14th 2007 and it plainly says under the Shake Option "up to 800 calories a day" and under Vegeterian "because of the higher carbs up to 1000 calories a day".


It's easy to see Kimkins pushed you to under 800 calories. No misunderstanding about it:

Copied on June 14, 2007...

Kimkins is purposely designed as a very simple and extremely effective weight loss plan! There's no complicated rules, formulas or food combinations. You aren't forced to read hundreds of pages to find what you need.
Listed below are the guidelines for each Kimkins Diet option. That's it! Pick the one you like, follow the easy rules exactly and enjoy fast weight loss!

KIMKINS DIET
The original Kimkins Diet

As much lean protein as desired from the Kimkins Food List
0-20 total carbs (no fiber or sugar alcohol subtraction)
0-3 cups List 1 veggies or
0-2 cups List 1 veggies + 0-1 cup List 2 veggies
Use minimal fat to make your menu work (careful, calories count!)
No alcohol or low carb products (sugar free candy, energy bars, ice cream, frozen meals)
Your appetite will reduce naturally after 3-5 days
Take a complete multivitamin each day plus other desired supplements


KIMMER EXPERIMENT (K/E)
K/E is used to reach ketosis quickly or as a jumpstart for other Kimkins Options

As much lean protein as desired from the Kimkins Food List
Minimal low-carb condiments and spices may be used sparingly
No alcohol, no cheese, no fatty meats, no fats, no veggies
Your appetite will drop naturally after 3-5 days
Take a complete multivitamin each day plus other desired supplements
You may remain on K/E as long as desired

KIMKINS BOOT CAMP
The most popular Kimkins Option!
30 minutes of intense daily exercies required

Breakfast
Up to 2 eggs (cooked without fat)
Up to 1/2 cup List 2 veggies
Up to 2 oz lean ham or other lean protein (raw/cured weight)
Unlimited non-calorie beverage

Lunch
Up to 4 oz lean protein (raw weight)
Up to 2 cups mixed greens + Wishbone Spritzer dressing (or caloric equivalent)
Unlimited non-calorie beverage

Dinner
Up to 4 oz lean protein (raw weight)
Up to 2 cups mixed greens + Wishbone Spritzer dressing (or caloric equivalent)
Unlimited non-calorie beverage
Take a complete multivitamin each day plus other desired supplements

VEGETARIAN OPTION
Vegetarian products have higher carbs so a calorie limit is suggested
Aim for no more than 1000 calories per day

Daily Limits

0-20 total carbs from all sources, no fiber subtraction
0-3 servings of protein substitutes including tofu, eggs, egg substitutes, protein powders
0-2 servings of higher carb choices including tempeh, Gardenburger and Boca products
0-2 servings of dairy choices including yogurt, soft cheese, hard cheese
0-3 cups of List 1 veggies
0-1 cups of List 2 veggies

Use minimal fat for cooking
Unlimited non-calorie beverages
A serving is per the product label
Use low calorie salad dressings and "light" butter substitutes (no trans fats)
Take a complete multivitamin each day plus other desired supplements
Due to higher carbs in vegetarian products, appetite reduction may not occur


MEAL REPLACEMENT SHAKE OPTION
Designed for convenience, automatic portion control and error proof

Up to 800 calories per day
Up to 16 total carbs per day
Up to 80 protein grams per day 0-4 RTD (Ready-to-Drink) meal replacements shakes per day or
0-4 homemade protein shakes per day (15+ grams protein per shake)


RTD shakes should not exceed 200 calories and 4 carbs each
Protein powder should not exceed 200 calories and 4 carbs per serving
Protein powder may be mixed with any very low calorie beverage
Do not use milk for mixing protein powder
You may prefer to have 2 shake meals + 1 Kimkins food meal for variety
Take a complete multivitamin each day plus other desired supplements

I served my husband dinner on a regular plate and even washed it.

About the gals that are talking about moving/not moving this thread. I know that some people mostly lurk - but like one gal said she spent a lot of time looking at the Russian Brides but doesn't post much. I just want to thank all of you (behind/or in front of the scene) for the posting, research, and alerting the various agencies. We ALL have worked hard at this and we will be successful. Thank you!

Nope - "Quietville" is not allowed here. We value your posts and we want you to be as loud as the rest of us (joke)!

Seriously sometimes we read things into posts that weren't really meant the way they were written. We are all friends here working for a common goal and we need your input! So NO shhhhhhh allowed!

Thank you Cheryl I've been on this board for quite some time, I really just don't post a lot. Guess I'm pretty quiet. But, I'll tell you, I have done a lot things to try and help the cause. And I swear I'm tired of looking at pictures of women!

I have to admit, though, I have been thinking about people reading here. Like the Russian brides. Those would not have been taken down had it not been for people viewing the threads. I don't have time to view every single post here, but someone did take screen shots of the original webpage at kimkins.com, right? (I'm so computer illiterate, I'd have no idea how! LOL)

Anyway, I'm going to make hot cocoa and watch Survivor. Check back later!

Whew, caught up again.. lol

I'm really PO'd that "Dr" Mark cleaned up his website.. that just shows what a con he is, just like Heidi. False and exaggerated claims quickly erased when the truth comes knocking. What gets me is that people on the KK site will take his stupid advice and could end up in worse trouble!

I find it so hard to accept that there are people like Heidi, Jeannie, Mark (dorkusmalorkus, lol) et al, that will put people in harm's way just for a few quick (and dirty) dollars. Shame on them. I'm thoroughly disgusted (as if I wasn't before!).

I know what you mean ..... too bad we couldn't have spent the time looking through thousands of pictures of good looking men.... I would have even spent hours doing that.

It is deceiving and wrong to keep a post of a member stickied up that doesn't support the diet anymore.

The new owners really should take it down.
