  • Miss Phone- That Kimmer Question you asked..

    I don't want this to turn into a circus here- the mods here have been able to avoid the , and there are plenty of other low carb sites that are on this like..well.....white on rice

    Most of us know who Kimmer is- and most of us aren't ...trying to stay politically correct here..... fans of her and her "Kimkins" eating plan.

    Kimmer claimed to have lost 198lbs in 11 months on her tweaked Atkins plan. She developed a cult like following on a couple of LC boards, and eventually opened up a website selling membership access to her boards/plan/support/ebook etc.

    The problems most of us clued in on YEARS ago (I've known Kimmer for about 4 1/2 years on the boards and locked horns with her more than once over her BS-pro-anorexia like plan.) was that Kimmer had no current photos. She had a before and she had an after, but the after was fishy.

    She gained enough notariety with her plan that she landed on the cover of Women's World magazine. She had pictures, the whole shebang. The problem? The "after" pictures she provided looked nothing like the 'after' picture all of us saw...and ironically- the two new ones didn't look anything like each other either. LOL

    She had tons of success stories on her website....befores and after pics.
    She started off getting $14.95 a month for her site access and is currently getting $54.95 I think it is..maybe it's $59.95 (I'd look but I refuse to give her site a single click). Anyway...that was for lifetime membership, personal coaching from Kimmer, menus, e-book..etc.

    She was finally followed here in the last couple of months after alllll sorts of different stuff. (fraudulent collection of donations for supposed adopted kids she doesn't have, etc) - Turns out, 118lb Kimmer is really 350lb Kimmer. Turns out Kimmer is a scam and a fraud from beginning to end.

    Oh it turns out the photos she used for the magazine article were from a Russian Bride Site. Oh.....the majority of the success story pictures on her site were also from Russian Bride Sites and the stories were fabricated too.

    If you google "Kimmer The Truth" or "Kimkins Exposed" you'll get the whole scoop.

    Ms. Kimmer is due in court here in the next week or so to answer for all this stuff. I hope she gets nailed to the wall. I really do.

      Wow! Women's World magazine never wanted anyone to meet her in person for an interview? They're the magazine that always had someone on the cover that's lost 100 pounds magically, right? Very interesting.

      Well, I'm glad she's busted, and since she's been taking other folks money, I hope the punishment fits the crime. It's sad that she exploited and took advantage of other people along the way.

      Thanks for the info Brook.

                    I followed some of this saga. I also had a horn locking with her on the other site a few years ago when I tried the "3 day experiment" with very dangerous results (and yep I should have known better).
                    I noticed the WW pics too. I still find it sad but amazing that someone cound be so calculating.
