    Guys first off she is doing this as a result of all the newbies flocking to her asking for personel lessons in how to lose weight like she did.It can be overwhelming the amount of PMs and emails folk wanting it yesterday will send asking the same question over and over teach me how. I know Brook and I, and I'd bet Kent and TTDriver get PMs as well as other big losers and if you list your email them too asking for personel lessons on how to do Atkins. I know Brook set up her melting site to help folk for free. I just tell them to read the book, post questions on the board, and join our 14 day induction form, exercise challenges, and (for commandercuppycake ) start a chat journal so they can get lots of support and help. Serveral folk have proposed over the yrs starting a for fee site but for me it is about paying forward the debt I owe the low carbers who came before me and blazed the trail sharing their knowledge and support of how to do it right. Kimmer started out doing that too and was breifly a memeber here in 2003.Somewhere along the line she decided her time was more valuble and set up her for pay program.
    while none of us since we are well educated Atkineers would use it it could help some others get a start.
    2big she started with atkins, then created a low carb, low fat plan of her own. She's not offering Atkins support, she has created her own 'diet'. I researched it out of curiousity...the first couple of days calls for pretty much only lean protein , eggs, coffee tea and sweetener...and not much else...not very Atkins if you ask me? I think that's alot different that just 'paying it forward'.

      sadie I know what her plan is and how rapidly she lost her weight doing her low carb plan. she has stopped paying it forward and now pays her bank account. She was here when we had the low carb other as a sub forum and just popped in for a few support type posts. I was jsut saying she is doing what many many newbies want personel lessons in how to lose weight like she did, which is fine just not on our board as a bilboard for it.

        That is EXACTLY why I stay on this board, nearly 5 years into maintenance. I know Atkins works and want to inspire others to make it their lifestyle as I have done.

        Thank you, 2BIG!

          sorry 2big, i misunderstood your post..i took it as you were defending her saying she was just paying it forward like many on this board,which is not at all how i was seeing it (i see it as her own weight loss plan). Guess it was the way i read it.

            I agree 2big. I know this is not a 'kimmer bashing' thread... but I do have to mention that her not drinking ANY water - not healthy in my opinion. Just diet drinks, ugh. But the main thing is, no this board isn't a 'billboard' for her plan.

            Great thread!
