How 'bout we add THAT up and have FT and SA reimburse everybody? What gives them the right to be so careless with someone else's dollars? Or with someone else's LIFE?
I certainly hope they are named as co-defendents in the lawsuit. What right do they have to grab people's money and then ban them for asking a simple question?

Check out Marisol's bog. She has a tutorial all set up for you on how to use spell check. I would strongly suggest that you stop spending so much time lurking on this site and spend more time learning how to use the spell check button. As the PR person for "your site", you wouldn't want to come across as someone stupid, now would you?
Oh, one more thing, how come it took you so long to catch on to the "little set-up" that Kim and I had for you? Were you too busy cleaning?
Lynn
Okay, what set-up?

Hey there!

Did you know exercise doesn't work? Nope. I know you're shocked! It's the most common fallacy in the diet business -- work out and lose weight. Are they serious?


Check any exercise calculator. A 200 pound woman who walks 2 miles a day will only burn 175 calories! This means it will take 3 weeks of daily walking to lose only 1 pound!!! Just 1! Walking 2 miles every day!

Here's the math: 175 calories x 20 days = 3500 calories (1 pound)


This is why the Kimkins Diet is a weight loss Super Star! Kimkins is thermogenic. You burn more calories than regular "slow" diets -- and it works without exercise! It's true! Kimkins members typically lose 5% of their total body weight in the first 10 days! Wow!

It's your choice: Depend on exercise to lose 1-2 pounds in 30 days or pick thermogenic Kimkins and lose 10% of your total body weight in 30 days! Hmmm, I know what sounds better to me!
Jeanessa!!! How the heck are you?

Hi, I was banned from KK on 10/04 and I have been trying to get a refund since then. No luck, so now I'm going through my CC company. They want some of the links showing Kimkins/Kimmer is fradulent in order to refund my money. Where do I find the links for the tv expose', 300 lb Kimmer pics, BBB listing etc. Is there someplace where all the pertinent links are?? Many thanks for your help.

Dr. Mark's answer to the question if he is on staff...

"Rer. Mark - About Constipation 2 Hours, 14 Minutes ago
On Staff - not really, just contracted to post a few sessions a day.

It may take me a day to get back with you on some things but I have notice that you are in good hands.. The kimkins community has lots of knowledgable people in it... .....Are you sure you guys really need me?"

Maybe the realization this is a bad thing he's gotten involved with is sinking in?

WHOA! HOLD THE PHONE! Just 2 posts down from the quoted one, Tippy said Dr.Mark IS a staff member; so who are you going to believe? And that little zinger about other good advisers and were they (Kimkins, Tippy et al) sure they really needed him? This sounds suspiciously like he is reconsidering the whole loss of privacy and credentials thingie that goes with Kimkins territory right now. How much do you want to bet that he makes the excuse of too many other pressing responsibilities in the near future and BACKS OFF? (Or maybe the flea that someone put in the State Licensing Board's ear came back to nip him!)

The water and juice diet is fairly harmless for normal people for the 24-48 hours he recommended. But let's get back to the INTERESTING STUFF! Does this mark the subtle sliding away of Mark? Stay tuned for more developments.

well if they don't want to sift it out of all 7 of these topics Kimkins Exposed has it all with links to all the blogs with the other folk working on it too like the lawsuit the survivors etc,

oh and don't forget it is wordpress .com not just .com or your CC will not like you.

Quote:
e:Stalling 2 Hours, 19 Minutes ago
8 oz glass of juice..

Only water otherwise.

No food

24 - 48 hours.

(The body actually does not suffer real detriment from full water fasts up to 30 days!)

I think Dr. Mark will need time to through all the material that was forwarded him and to come up with his own conclusions. He's no fool, despite the typos - having worked in hospitals for 25 years, secretaries spend a lot of time tidying up our boss' spelling and grammar. fingers and toes crossed......

Latest from Tippy on the water fast

"Re:Stalling 1 Minute ago
Amy, I am not a fan of fasting personally. But I do think a day or two of a juice fast would be better than 30 days of water by far. Still, I am no expert for fasting nor have I (or could I) even do it. I did note something in an Atkins book though about ketosis being a temporary state and that I believe. I don't think I can get into ketosis anymore myself no matter what. Just been at this game for too long and I think the body caught on. I say this because DH doesn't gag trying to kiss me anymore, lol. Also, in another Atkins book he does mention reversal techniques for stalls and one suggestion was to eat only fruit for 2 or 3 days. That really surprised me!"

The BBB has them at F now and has numerous negative reviews that the CC should find good reading. They can also contact the FTC or other agencies and inquire about an investigation or add their complaint at having to refund a members charge. I would say that by you filing a complaint with the FTC, the BBB, signing the petition etc...would show your CC that you are serious and not satisfied with Kimkins service. IMHO

IMPORTANT LINKS:

Sign the petition
