P.S. Don't forget the contest! Let's all be sure to let Consumer Reports know how we feel about Kimkins!

Sent another note to Consumers Report. Do you think we should also include some of the addresses that show the surveillance video, the TV broadcasts, etc?

My husband subscribes to the magazine so will keep my eyes open and will let you know if they write about her. I could scan the article and then post it here.

Here's hoping they will look into this.

I just popped in for a minute - /Flowerpower, Sue, Myself and several others have been houseguests of StoneCreek. Stoney has not even been around more than a time or two in the past year, once just the other day to report she is starting Weight Watchers. She is DEFINATELY not the Chicken Lady. Geesh - its amazing how this stuff gets cooked up.

Hello everyone,

Ok, I spent days and days reading all of these Fascination threads. From the moment I opened the first thread and saw the lady in the red dress, I was hooked. I remember when Kimmer was a fixture in the main lobby, I lurked on her threads, and I remember her dramatic exit. When I saw that red dress picture I laughed out loud. I laughed even harder when I saw all of "her" pictures lined up side by side. I told my husband about the lady that kept posting pictures of different women and trying to pass them off as herself, and I showed my husband the pictures and we laughed together.

From there things just got more interesting and I couldn't wait to see pictures of the real Kimmer, and my jaw just dropped when I did. When Kimmer used to post on this board, I remember thinking that she was strange, but never did I think that basically every word that she typed was a lie. I felt sorry for her, but that soon passed. Then I felt anger. Now I feel like I hope that she learns a lesson from all of this and changes her ways, and I hope that she loses every dime that she ever made from this scam.

Back to lurking...

Not to be nit-picky, but the MCD Lady's candle business is: Stoney Creek. not Stonecreek.

Yah, I know, who cares?

Oh yes, definitely include any and all information you feel they need to see to get the BIG picture.

I included the about.com site:

Kimkins Diet Review - The Dangers of the Kimkins Diet

the 3 fat chicks site:

3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Official Website for Weight Loss Support - Kimkins: Anatomy of a Diet Scam

and the casewatch.org site:

"Kimkins" Diet Fraud Unmasked.

and of course, the survivors site:

Kimkins Survivors

Feel free to share your favorite Kimkins informational links for sure, but do also let them know why you want them to investigate Kimkins. If you have personal experience with the Kimkins Diet, share that information with them, if you are comfortable with it. The more we share, the more stories they hear, the better chance we have of getting them to investigate Kimkins.

Feel free to pass this link on to any family or friends who might also be willing to request an investigation.

Thank you, EVERYONE, for sending in your request!

Your request not only is a great way to start off with the contest, but a great way to help make a difference!

Ok, so then I did a "Search" of "StoneCreek" and found where she posted in some threads. Her name you can't "click" on and her posts says "n/a"? Threads are not searchable by clicking on her name.

Hmm....

In a few of these threads it says that people have met her in real life. Would they know if she had any connection to the MCD ?

Interesting. I missed this, just read right through it, until I saw it on Yucky's site.
Actually, if you read many of StoneCreek's posts here, she is from TN. MCD Lady is not. I'm really sure they are NOT the same person.

I have met Stone. She stayed at my house, played with my dogs, met DH and had cocktails with me. She is absolutely, without a doubt NOT the Chicken lady or one of her minions. Period.

Lou! I was just thinking about you last night!

I don't think *anyone* was trying to drag StoneCreek that lives here through the mud (not saying you are saying that at all!) ... it was simply a question that was asked, and of course, a whole bunch of us answered!

As for the person who asked if anyone knew what MCD Lady herself says about how she founded her diet, her story is on the first page of her website. According to her, she just made something up that fit her lifestyle and tastes.

I agree - it's a wonderful idea!

Delurking for a few.....before LCF was LCF it was atkinsfriends.....so I think it is quite possible that 8-10 years would be accurate. Some of the "real old timers" could confirm I would think. Maybe Dottie? I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head that has been here for a really long time.
