Welcome To
My (old) Personal Journal!
A bit about me: I started on my weight loss journey back in June of 2006. This web-site is where I used to try & document my experience as a way of keeping myself motivated and focused on my goals and eating plan.
The diet plan I previously did was Kimkins. Kimkins did work for me when I could stay strict and I have to be fair and say that I did manage to lose 100 pounds when I was sticking to the plan and was very happy with it. However I decided I needed to completely break all ties with Kimkins altogether when all the new reports started coming out about the owner being a fraud and all the investigations going on and evidence posted around the net exposing her.. (which at first I didn't want to believe.. but I think it's pretty safe to say now that it's all true?? I am very shocked and upset because I was one who trusted Kimmer and gave her the benefit of the doubt.. I wanted to believe she would come out as a shining star in the end!! But see that is not the case. 
)
I'm not sure as of all the details of what's been going on with it all since then, as I just don't have time to keep up with it.. I never asked for any of this. I just wanted to lose weight & this whole entire mess erupted and somehow forced us into it. So, my main goal here is to NOT knock Kimkins or anything like that - I just feel it is not a wise choice for me to continue with it after all I've learned. I would just like to let folks know that I no longer chose to do the program, no longer support it, and have since moved on with my life.
I also feel I may owe other's an apology..... to anyone and everyone I may have encouraged to give Kimkins a try. I am sorry. Please understand that I no longer feel the same about Kimkins after having the light shed on me.. after doing some hard researching online quite some time ago about the whole controversy and reading about the evidence against her.. what an eyeopener. I feel terrible and please know I am VERY VERY SORRY!! I was (as we all were) completely mislead - believing Kimkins was genuine & trustworthy. Esp because the WOE was working for me when so many times I've failed at losing weight... I wanted to believe it all the more. I am not sure if her program is safe... maybe it is - I had no problems with it.. but who knows.. I am not a doctor and like I said, it did work for me and I trusted her and the whole "plan".. but because of the false ad's she used, that alone has made me make the choice to back away and no longer take part. It's not what I asked to get involved in, and I didn't want anything to do with it.
I decided there is going to be no turning back.. and that I had to break all ties with Kimkins all together -- I therefore removed my reviews I wrote sharing my opinion of the plan (both good and bad) from off my site and removed them from EzineArticles and I will continue to do my best to remove all others that have been posted online as a result of them being origionally posted on Ezine. Please understand I no longer fully agree with them & would never encourage other's to try Kimkins knowing what I know now.. I removed all Kimkins links from off my site. I will no longer be doing Kimkins eating plan or sharing information about it with others when asked about my weight loss - (the main reason I wrote the review in the first place) .. and I would strongly caution others to do research if you're still considering trying Kimkins!! This is what I chose for me.
Which reminds me.. I also really need to apologize to everyone who in the past have tried to caution me through posts in my guestbook or loving emails. I thought you were all being too quick to jump to conclusions about Kimkins and I kinda just blew you off. Esp because one of the hot topics was if the success story pics were real or not.. I didn't worry about that so much because I knew that "MY PROGRESS PICS WERE REAL" and that's all the proof I needed. I knew the plan worked as far as that goes. At the time I didn't have time to do the research to find out the truth for myself so was unsure how to respond.. I am so sorry I did not take you seriously. I see now that you were very right. Thank you for keeping after me. Please please please forgive me.
Anyhow.. I do wish Kimmer well.. and hope all this is settled and put behind her and everone involved. I am sad it ever happened.
Thank you and again, I am sorry.
