Hi there!! Missed you, too!
It's good to 'see' so many familiar friendly souls.

On the refund, she paid through Paypal, and they sent an email message.

I refused it.

I would rather pursue the suit, to give the other 30,000+ people whom she defrauded a chance to get in on it, too.

Kaly, maybe you'll be lucky like me and the hairloss will stop in just a week or so. I was losing just like you but thank goodness, I started the biotin and other nutritional supplements (by the handful!!) and it's stopped now.

The Kimkins Survivors is a blog. Please, anyone who has suffered health issues go tell your story there!! It's a very good way to share the truth about KK!!

She and Tippy and the desperate members may try to blame it on the former Admins, but there is too much proof to the contrary. Kimkins is Kimmer's baby. She developed it here, took it there, taught her members, and selected and coached her Admins. There are years of posts, emails, and PMs which will disprove her claims that it was our doing, not hers. If anything, we moderated her extremity. When we could no longer do so, we left.
Becky, I can't tell you how valuable your input is on all this. I am SO grateful that you are participating in this thread and telling it like it is. I too have saved many screenshots of advice from Kimmer this summer and I vouch for every word you say.

Thank you a MILLION times over for continuing to shine the light. Same goes for Christin and Deni.

Thanks! Here are some of my favorite parts. How much must these tick Heidi off?
Bolding and purple is mine.
Quote:
TT: Uhm…Kimmer is in fact Heidi Diaz.

TT: Right, right. It didn’t really surprise me. I mean, I don’t think it’s gonna be a big shock for anyone to know that. Asking why she would have hidden, you know, who her real identity was, you see the video, you see the pictures of the woman.

TT: We’re always willing to make positive changes

J: All right, so, but you say, despite the fact that, that Heidi slash Kimmer slash the ya know Russian mail order bride picture person, despite all that, you believe in this diet
M: Still believe in it
TT: I believe in the diet (notice she separates the diet from the founder. She doesn't believe in the founder. She emphasizes that she believes in the diet. lol!)
J: It’s safe
TT: I believe it can be used safely. Do I believe that anyone should stay on five hundred calories a day to lose a hundred pounds in five months? No. In fact, ladies, I went behind you and I read your posts and as moderators I felt you set a poor example for other people. I really do

TT: But the fact that Christin didn’t tell her doctor what was going on tells me that Christin knew it was bad

one of my favorites: TT: The site has changed since I came in. Uh, I made a vow to the low carb community that I was gonna go in there and make every wrong right or I wouldn’t work there (anyone else hear the funeral march when reading this one? lol)

TT: I feel like I’m in the middle of a terrorist attack. I really do (shaking head)

TT: We are nervous having a nutritionalist. Without a doubt, a nutritionalist has (happy sigh. Don't you just love this one?lol)

TT: We know that our plan needs improvement, so we’re anxious to hear what you say (how ticked do you think Heidi got hearing this one? heh heh)
All that damage in half an hour.

I immediately refunded her refund.

When you do that, it gives you space to write a note --- which I did.
They think they're so slick.

Yes, anybody can be a duck. I was a duck, then a sugar cookie, but then realized that a sugar cookie avi on a LC site it just bad, so I went lower carb with a plate of veggies.

hahaha Elloise! Good girl! You must eat your veggies! But try doing it without oil of any kind and maybe just show the veggies the lemon. OK?

You have to remember...How bad do you want it?

Just sayin'

That could account for her brief hiatus from Kimkins, ya know
She certainly had the funds to have it done and motivation too.

No..you can't have a tummy tuck (according the tv plastic surgeons) until you lose most of your weight..She DID claim to have a tummy tuck when she pretended to lose her weight years ago..Of course, this was a big fat lie, too.

Re:New KimKins log in page Hours, Minutes ago xxxxx, thanks. I always photograph better from the front so I thought from the side would show better. At goal I'm planning on studio photos once I talk myself into it.

Good grief..She must think her peeps are really dumb. I'm sure none of those
people believe that she is 294! After watching The Biggest Loser, we are much better judges of what different weights look like. Her picture looks like
she weighs 194..to me.

Mine was kind of weird. They sent me an e-mail asking me to confirm my Paypal e-mail address. They obviously got my e-mail from Paypal, so I don't understand the need for confirmation. Anyway, I responded to them to forget it, that I'd stay in the lawsuit.

If there's one positive thing for Heidi to emerge so far ; it's that, once the jig was up, she's been cured of her agoraphobia! Now she can leave the safety of her computer for trips to town. All that activity may just melt the pounds off her. If not, she can still use her magic wand on studio pix.
