Why the fascination with Kimmer? #13 - Page 53

beachfires · 01-17-2008, 07:52 AM

I hate to be a colossal pain here but...I have sort of been away (sitting here but certainly under the influence of great pain meds). Can someone please point me in the right direction for the complaint contest. I'm not that interested in the contest aspect but now that I'm feeling better (although now incredibly sore thanks to Honey's youtube!!) I am able to focus and do this thing, is it too late to go back and do the first couple of days??

Oprah wants your show ideas, so be sure to let her know, folks!

And while you are at it, maybe ask Dr. Oz what he thinks about the Kimkins Diet? Ask Dr. Oz: Submit Your Question

Good for you!

I have written everyone I could think of starting back in Sept. and nobody so far has so much as acknowledged my emails.

I really think once ABC does it's segment, the other networks and other programs will sit up and take notice.

Katinsac · 01-17-2008, 08:25 AM

thanks barbara...yes, yesterday I got the one but consumer reports won't let you find it so I'm only down one...

CarolynF · 01-17-2008, 08:27 AM

Yes, I agree with you, Lo. However, we don't want to give Kimkins any "positive" publicity.

They did get a few peeps after the M & J show aired..I don't think as many as they wanted, but we certainly don't want to "help" people get sick or give more money to Kimmer..

That's what prompted me to write to Oprah's directors again. I thought the timing was real good.

WildAngel6 · 01-17-2008, 08:38 AM

Ok folks, it's Day 4! Tell the Attorney General about Kimkins!

How is everyone doing so far?

Yes, please DO remember to take screenshots so you can document your reports.

Yes, you CAN catch up and do the previous days assignments, so if you missed one, no worries, just do two (or more) today!

Take Down Kimkins Contest–Day 4 Kimkins Scam

Don't forget to double check to make sure you have done the previous days as well:

Day 3

Day 2

Day 1

Keep up the good work, Everyone!

Keep pressing Kimmer's buttons!

CarolynF · 01-17-2008, 08:40 AM

Hey..just some thoughts on the GMA Saturday Show..Let's hope Dr. Tim looks at the plan..He will definitely "rip it to shreds"..and alot of peeps listen to him.

Thanks, Laura for the update.

I tried to ask Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD LDN, about Kimkins and she avoided my question completely.

If anyone has watched the show, "How To Look Good Naked" on the Lifetime Network, she is on there giving advice and tips. She's helped me out over the past year.

Happy New Year! How are you? I know you're busy with your new work.
Quick question for you. Have you ever heard of Kimkins and what is> your take on it? Also when you get a moment check out "Low Carb> Friends". I'd love to talk about what you've done for me! Although,> I must admit I am more of a clean eater now! > > Thank you! Have a great day!

LoraJR72 · 01-17-2008, 09:26 AM

Cut and pasting stuff is tough work in here! I gotta be careful! Geesh!

MissMerize · 01-17-2008, 09:41 AM

Anyone looking for anything here?

If I have it, I'll put it up on ebay.

Also will do video edit for you.

I'm having an anti-kimkins fire sale.

beachfires · 01-17-2008, 09:53 AM

ALL 4 days done...woo hooo!!!!!

MaryN · 01-17-2008, 09:55 AM

I have lurked here through most of the Kimmer fascination and may I tell you once again that you all are AWESOME.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I've read through each of the FWK threads and thought it was about time to say congratulations to the duck brigade! This is fascinating. I've never posted much here at LCF (except for on the now-defunct political forum) but I still lurk to get advise and tips. Anyway, I always thought Kimmer was bizarre when she was here and didn't believe most of her claims. But I would never have guessed she was such a scam artist! Wow!!!!! Great job.

And here I thought my 2y.o could throw a tantrum. All I have to do is watch that kid and I see how easy I have it in comparison.

His laugh is scary, but funny when he gets to play the game...then the...

escape key goes flying across the room...

....he pauses as if concerned about the key...geez that is so funny. I laugh out loud every time!

I didn't get them to do the program. I don't know who individually was in contact with them. I just helped a teensy bit, probably much less than some others, but we'll find out on Saturday!
