I think it's a green wristband.

I also believe the current photos of her are current, just manipulated with photoshop.

Nice to see someone else agrees.

I dont know about you guys, but most every diet I went on...I took photos to compare. I especially liked putting an unflattering one on my fridge as motivation. LOL I have 20 years of them, EEEK! Maybe thats an older photo of her afterall, maybe her lowest weight too. Knowing her warped mind, she hoped the "OH MY GOD YOU LOOK GOOD FOR 290!" comments would soon come in.

It also looks too wide to me. From the pic, it looks like it's at least 3/4" wide.

That definitely would place Heidi wearing it within the last 3 or 4 months. So we have to fall back on Photoshop to account for Heidi's newfound sveltness.

't

But isn't there someone willing to share with us how she looked on Nov.2,2007? I understand they can not say much, but we could spend out time on catching her really doing something if we were told. Ducky, will you tell us? Also, has Brandon has his Q/A?

Makes sense.

I feel like I am on a wild roller coaster ride, but there is a reason for it. I was diagnosed with degnerative joint disorder (osteoarthritis) and it has really slowed me down a lot and I have had so much pain for it that I've been indulging in some higher carb "comfort food." On the bright side, I am finding which low carb foods I can substitute for the higher carb comfort foods. Anyway, I have been feeling kind of sorry for myself and I need a good kick in the butt to get me back on track.

My husband's brother tried to commit suicide and when he failed he said the next time he would succeed. They were able to hospitalize him for 4 days. A few months later he was successful! He was only 43 and my husband's only sibling. It truly was sad.

Anyway - just so people understand that you can be overweight and still suffer from malnutrition. Don't listen to any of the crap that as long as you have body fat you don't need to eat..... your body will just use your fat for nutrition.

Oh, that's horrible. I'm so sorry for you and your husband's loss. I can't even imagine.

That seems to offer some sort of validity to the recent picture. (But I wonder how difficult would it be to add the wristband to the picture after the fact?)

Every answer seems to bring more questions.

I believe the wristband was added on to cover up the old watch in the original pic and in a flash of brilliance they decided to make a kk wristband on her to add that touch of authenticity.

But I am a skeptic

If you come across an article by April, please post a link to her blog showing that she has since seen the light and no longer supports Kimkins.

My Weight Loss Progress : Update: Restart! -- October 20th -- Day 1

Also, please PM me with the URL to the article and I will forward it on to April.

Unfortunately, since they started out on ezine, they have sprouted everywhere, like weeds.

The ones on ezine have been removed, so that's a start.

Can she do an update for ezine? Using terms like kimkins diet scam, fraud, con, heidi k diaz the con artist etc?

I think Heidi used paintshop or some other program to cover her watch she wore back then to look like the current wristband(it looks very fake to me in the photo).

The green Kimkins bracelets were posted a few pages back when we were discussing what she was wearing on her wrist.

Yes....that is what a few of us think. Wow I can't believe all the "skeptics" we have on the board against poor Heidi.
Bless her heart!

[WildAngel6]

Heidi is allegedly down to 289 lbs. on the Kimkins front page.

The first two weeks she lost a total of 9 lbs.
Week 3 she lost 14 lbs.
Week 4 she lost 5 lbs.

No new picture though, even though the weight has been updated. I wonder how long it will be before she posts a new picture? Or if she is just expecting everyone to be satisfied with seeing the numbers go down.

Ack! All I can suggest is that you guys are masochists, and my alter ego is Heidi! I didn't make overt moves to avoid photos, but - I don't have many, and few of me standing with all my poundage hanging there barefaced. Or whatever!

Yes I have already seen the photos of the bracelets showing what they looked like.

I was asking if anyone has a closeup of her wrist to see if the wristband she is wearing in the pic looks photoshopped.

Hey Buzzy, I haven't taken mine out lately to have a look, but I am definitely big boned. I'll probably make 2 of any ordinary bag of bones. Which makes me a fat bag of bones inside a fat skin bag.

[Freedom&Light]

Warning- the links are big pics!

Here is the current pic blown up. I think it is the green band, though I still am not convinced it's the most recent pic.

Also, here's an example of the fine photoshopping skills- the arrows are pointed to blocks of color that were cut and pasted. Real difficult.

[tom_912]

Well it looks like she showed up to her disposition and i am sure our lawyer saw her face to face.. if she is posting altered pics then it will only help out the lawsuit as he saw her!. Her pics do look altered and old to me too. Time will tell. Wonder if it will go from civil to criminal after all this????

I am amazed at what you experts can find out and do with photoshop

But we all know how she has faked photo's in the past.. and why not now...

I hope John or someone else at the deposition got a pic or got a court order for a current pic and current weight of Heidi. It may have happened already but can't be released... lets just hope so!

I think the writer of that blog is more like Kimmer than he realizes, but at least he doesn't promote starvation.

What? Not a pound a day? She must have picked the wrong shakes. She must be cheating. Probably measuring whole fistfulls of iceberg lettuce. Probably even used pam on her egg whites. I wonder if she's considered M.O.M. yet?

[CarolynF]

Who can believe ANYTHING she puts down as weightloss..or even the pictures are a lie.

Yes, she was and this picture and information was posted on kimkins meet the team page. This person was found in our search of fraudulent pictures and she was suppose to be an affiliate manager- -
"Vanessa
Affiliate Manager


Vanessa joins Kimkins from an international sales organization where she was most recently managing director for European health services. She brings to Kimkins an impressive depth of direct sales experience and is fluent in Portguese, French and Italian.

Vanessa lives with her husband and 2 daughters in southern California."

The biggest issue is that it was all lies. Vanessa is actually Elena and here is the link- Elena's Link

Another Vanessa was an alleged affiliate. This Vanessa was Vanessa Romero, which is actually the name of Heidi's niece.
Heidi lies like most of us breathe; with little effort.

The deposition was videotaped.

Let's just say her appearance on that day, the same day she posted that photo on her site, will be a sad surprise to the good people of Kimkins, but it will not surprise most people here.
