I also don't think the pic is of Heidi...there are some similarities...which has me thinking that it could be a relative. Unless she has some reverse orangutan weight loss secret, it's damn near impossible to lose 56 lbs and GAIN 7 inches of ARM length!!!!!

I wish I knew how to post the actual link, but for those interested, just go to YOUTUBE and search photoshop......

I think you are all amazing.

I'll post my KIMKINS story soon. I've been stewing for months and months.......

I'm happy to hear you are feeling on top of things.

There was something a page or 2 back about the lunar eclipse and new beginnings?

NancyElle ~ Welcome. We're glad to have you here and you can tell your KK's story whenever you like. I'm a refugee from that place as well and while they do sometimes make fun of me here it's not because I did Kimkins!

Anyone from Kimkins, help me figure this out, please
There was a major poster at KK's who was almost as funny as Cleo (hey, I said almost, settle down!) I can't for the life of me remember her screen name or where she was from, but she had a lot of health problems before she did KK's, she talked about her surgeries (due to semi-handicap?) and her small children. She also posted avatar pictures of herself often. She was cute, young, and had reddish-blonde hair.

Someone refresh my memory! If anyone can come up with a name, I'd like to know if she still posts and how she's doing. She's seriously a hoot!

TIA!

We're so glad you "delurked" I know you're not a troll....because they just smell different! Us ducks, have nose for that!

Thanks for coming out and joining us here and I'm thrilled you have been inspired -
I know, for me, that's the goal - to help as many people recover from the dangers of Kimkins, as possible.
I just wanted to tell you - I'm GLAD YOU'RE HERE!

Maybe her body was up against those arms, but got shaved away on the computer?

I pulled her blue dress pic and added it to compare. It is difficult to really see because of the dark color and angle. But it still gives a more natural look to the hands and arms in that picture in my opinion.


Yes, I'm convinced the space between her arms and body was photoshopped.

Here, I trimmed her body/arms some more, making a bigger space between arms and body.

I have been to so many sites, I cannot find it. Since I don't have the proof I was looking for, I will just continue to say I believe it is her.

Look at the small chin. The fat on the face now will change the look of some features, but the chin is still the same. It is the angle of the picture that is throwing people off. The same for the arms, fat will make the illusion of shorter length. Anway, it does not matter in the long run. Medussa agrees with me too!

WOW

It's been a long while since I've been here.
Fell off the LC WOE (but that's another post)

And this morning, while cruising through the Yahoo news....there's the story about Kimmer

Just want to say you guys are amazing!

I never followed Kimmer's advice since I was losing just fine the traditional LC way. But I read her posts with interest. So now the truth finally comes out.

Just WOW!!! You guys rock

Just looked at the nightgown picture and the others of Heidi~ the gal in the nightgown has eyes set much farther apart than Heidi's. I can't see how weight loss or gain would affect that. Add to that the difference in arm length, I would have to say that it is not Heidi.

Oh~ and directly behind nightgown girl's right arm is the toilet tank~ so I concur, it's a bathroom, probably at home since there seems to be some decorative item on top of the tank.

Oh, please DO share the link to the Kimmer story in Yahoo news. I'd like to see what they had to say about the whole thing.

I'm so glad to hear that you didn't follow Kimmer's advice.

And yes, it's nice that the truth usually does find a way to come out, despite all the efforts to keep it hidden.

Ducks ROCK!

Does anyone know if Dateline is still investigating KK? I was googling again and found this from a few months ago.

I emailed Dateline myself and never got a response.

Oh it just came to me! The person I am looking to find at KK's is AllyMarie. Is she still there....okay...doing well... Anybody?

And...I have something in common with Kimmer today. I ate a cookie. But, I had just donated blood and felt lightheaded. I had to drive home to the next town, so I felt like it would be okay. If I lived around the block, I would've skipped the cookie!

I wouldn't suggest Kimmer give blood to justify her sugar cookie habit, though. People who need blood have enough problems already!
