Ahh, but it's all done with a purpose, and that purpose is to distract. Isn't it convenient that Heidi made sure the camera blocked the one area that was highly altered in the last couple of photos (her neck)? Very convenient, but not a coincidence. It was quite deliberate. Is it just me, or does she look bigger at the "258" photo than she does in the "317" photo?

cleochatra · 03-24-2008, 07:25 AM

I don't mean to sound 'not nice' but she looks puffy and doughy in her face? That should never be a side effect of ketosis. The face should thin out quite a bit after 50-odd pounds when one starts out weighing what she did. Hers looks the same as when she began. Though I could be wrong.

Mariasol · 03-24-2008, 07:27 AM

Tasjon apparently had a bad hair day so she pasted a hair do onto her picture. ETA: I looked again and it actually might be her hair. Just looked fake to me at first.

And, don't all cameras come with self timers?

I dunno but I still think instead of her neck looking too long, her head looks too small...

I'm thinkin it was Witch Doctor Mark shrinking heads....

"Doughy," Cleo? You've been sniffin' too many Oopsies!

pooticus · 03-24-2008, 07:59 AM

This just in...live (still live...assuming she's living) photo comparison:

1. I made the faces the same size.
2. I aligned the photos from the top and right...meaning I put the left edge of the "boob" in the same place.
3. I placed blue and red shirt side by side.
4. I placed red shirt made 50% transparent and laid it on top of blue shirt photo so you can see the size difference from blue to red shirt.

In doing it you can now see on the blue shirt photo, she photoshopped (not only her chin/neck area) but also her right side. See in the overlaid photo where the red shirt is bigger by about 2-4" in real life?

Also look at the red shirt photo, she just couldn't resist...she photoshopped an edge off her left "boob" so she could create white space in there to look smaller.

She just can't resist. I almost think it's a game she is playing with LCF. I

Wouldn't that be a side effect of too much Captain?

cleochatra · 03-24-2008, 08:36 AM

pooticus-- you are a master. She looks exactly the same.

Chloe (lol) I think it's more a side-effect of me wondering if she's lost weight at all? I mean, I'd like to think she's being honest this time around. I don't want to kick her butt with quick weight loss, only to find out she wasn't really even losing the weight!

The same as what Cleo? Her blue shirt photo? Or her private eye "before" photo?

I think she looks bigger than in her blue shirt photo. I think her blue shirt photo makes her look like she is around the 200 pound mark. I think her red shirt photo looks like she could be in the 280s or so...

~Drakette sends the following from Kimmer today, with a few wise words of her own.

Bold are mine......Just in case anyone is losing heart in the cause; here is a very blatant reminder of why the ducks do what they do.

KIMMER RESPONDS:
You make me smile! Why are you shocked?

This is exactly what I mean by "put in the time" now (Kimkins) and then enjoy yourself.

I'm not being unkind when I say I don't see the valor of 1-2 lbs a week. I'd much rather get to where I'm going, then relax.

Too many people take the l-o-n-g road and it's unnecessary.

Absolutely unnecessary.

Drakette : All this while she was probably typing one handed while she shoveled sugar cookies into her pie hole! I am soooo irritated right now!

I agree, Poot. I noticed it before you did your comparison shots, but I thought your comparison shots proved it well.

Don't they have somebody who could snap the photo for them: A neighbor, a real or imaginary friend or sibling, foster children, a CVS employee, a son who sleeps standing up? Anybody?

I was wondering the same thing...I could never figure out why someone would want to hold a camera in their pic....cheesy

Mayberryfan · 03-24-2008, 09:30 AM

So Heidi once lost 58 lbs. doing Weight Watchers?

Sure. I believe ya, Heidi-kins.

Just because I'm curious, I'll ask - what are the exchange rates at WW for sugar cookies and Cap'n Morgan? How many points is that?

Oh, and where are the pictures of you down 58 lbs.? Hmmmmm???? Oh. Right. I forgot. We're supposed to take your word for it.

Yeah.

I can try but they are low res and small to begin with. Generally the larger they get, the lower the resolution they go (fuzzy)...

pooticus · 03-24-2008, 09:35 AM

Basically, the member is TELLING KIMMER, Hey! Your plan (KK) isn't working for me and then Kimmer turns around and types in the WW food plan didn't work for her?

Why do they pick the most horrible pics to use on the KK homepage?

cleochatra · 03-24-2008, 09:44 AM

O2BME-- LOL. I agree. I guess looking like the cat who ate the canary is supposed to shave pounds off if you have a big enough camera and position it in the right spot.

pooticus-- thank you! Now I can more clearly see!

maui--whatwhatwhat?! You were a member?!

I was sent to banned camp, but I can still look at the front page. Uhmmmm. Singing Lass has lost a lot of weight, but doesn't she realize the tighter your clothes, the bigger you look?

Tasjon - No freakin' way she's lost that much, unless she had a ghetto booty to rival any you've ever seen! WTH? Can't Kimmer at least teach her a few photochop techniques?

Kimmer - seriously. Who do you think you're kidding? I'm sure all the socks lying around the kimpound tell you that you look awesome. But, lies, just like socks, have a way of unraveling!

Why is SL wearing layered clothing and Tj a jacket? They add so much bulk and are not flattering at all.

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just wondering why you'd hide your light under a bushel basket?
