Plus those two posts are the only ones he has ever done on the board.

Are you sure his user name wasn't Derek88?

How do this guy's attached before and after pics look? Suspicious?

I don't think they look suspicious, but I guess I just have gotten where pictures now don't mean too much to me. I think I would need like a birth certificate, DNA sample, posting history, name of first born...before I believe a Kimkins success story in the future. LOL
But here are the two pics for y'all to see-

*covers eyes*

NO MORE PHOTOS !!! (not until I find patio chair)

Nady · 11-08-2007, 12:00 PM

Wow~ even I can tell those are photoshopped~

~~~N

Melle's_Sweetheart · 11-08-2007, 12:11 PM

Yep, because if you've ever TRIED to take before and after photos, you'll know that it's near IMPOSSIBLE to get into the EXACT position the second time around...

Shame shame ....

I was going to post that it is a marvel that he managed to get the exact pose on his before and after. Notice the eyes and nostrils, and the same head tilt. Absolutely amazing. Not to mention that he managed that in two different locations!

This guy must be a model to be able to pose the same way twice!

Lucky that he turned up just in time for the big TV thing. Oh, I do hope that he can make it to New York with some of his fat clothes. Maybe he still has that blue shirt.

Don't forget the oddly pale skin at the base of his neck where the T-shirt used to be~

I agree, how many times can you get the exact same pose?

My Heavens! you are a suspicious one!

Having just managed to lose all that weight, you don't expect him to appear bare chested in public, do you? After all, he's shy...um...I mean....his body image hasn't caught up to his body....yeah, that's it.....so he wore a T-shirt in public....That's just a tan line....yesss, that's it.....a tan line!

*snicker*...... That's just the lighting !

Barbara B · 11-08-2007, 12:25 PM

Wow! His pupils are in the exact same position in his eyes and his head pointed in the exact same direction. Do you think he sat there the whole time he was losing weight, sitting in the same pose?

TerryC · 11-08-2007, 12:33 PM

At least they saved us the trouble of searching through all the Russian bride and groom sites since it's obviously the same guy...No wait...we still do have to find him somewhere. Darn - time to get out the Hater Detective badges again!!

TerryC · 11-08-2007, 12:41 PM

I don't know anything about photoshop - but how is it possible to take the first picture and turn it into the second? It's so obvious that this is what happened but I just can't fathom the process.

Even his hair lost weight.

The thing is, you don't have to exercise with KK, so perhaps he did.

ixtapacheryl · 11-08-2007, 12:44 PM

I know nothing about photoshopped .... how does that work? Can you actually make a heavier person's face look thinner? Anytime I've tried to delete something on a picture you can see a distinct line where I deleted. I know you can copy and paste a head on a different body ... but making it thinner? Gosh I'd sure love that software!

I just sent this picture to my husband's cousin who is an expert photographer and editor. I asked him what he thought .... so will let you know his answer.

I don't mess with photoshop really, so I thought the pose looked to similar but can you get those results with photoshop? I mean Heidi photoshop...

I attributed the paler chest to just the way a person would naturally have a paler area directly under their chin if their sun exposure was just when the person was outside or in and out of the car. In other words not a sun worshiper.
Then the shadow looked correct on the after picture, to the right behind his head.
Hey, don't get me wrong I think the story is a fake but I couldn't photoshop that but I am sure others could. Can someone do my picture for me so I can use it for inspiration?

Seriously!

The beauty of photoshop is that there are features that will take off pounds, change the hair, whatever...it's a very powerful program! I can barely use it, but from what I've seen my Husband do, I'm completely amazed.

Most of those "wow" photos you get in your email are photoshopped.....y'know like the ones with the soccer players BITS hanging out of their shorts and etc....

ShellyW · 11-08-2007, 01:03 PM

can you send me some of them bits emails

can you hun???

JustKim · 11-08-2007, 01:04 PM

I find it ironic he has the exact same amount of 5 o:clock shadow in both pictures too

I'm looking forward to his expert opinion. That was a great idea to send it to him.

It is amazing, isn't it?

gibster · 11-08-2007, 01:14 PM

Wow! I've seen that face before - just can't think of where. It's gonna drive me nuts.

Also, the before doesn't look like 320 lbs., IMO. I'd expect to see a much bigger difference after that much weight loss.
