What Happened to Ducky??

27 05 2008

Ducky just decided to fade away into the unknown. The blog was pulled, the photos were pulled. The account wiped clean. Even the email no longer works.

Why??

Did ducky feel like all the work was done in bringing Heidi down??

Did Ducky get cold feet??

We will probably never know why they decided to pack it in. Our many questions will most likely go unanswered.

I may ruffle a few feathers but I’ve got to say my piece here. Many of us have busted our rear ends doing things to further tighten the noose on ol’ Heidi, adding one more nail in the coffin. Does Ducky not realize how much valuable information was lost when they decided to pull the blog. Or do they just not care any more.

I fully understand possible activist burnout. I’ve hit the wall many times over the years in the fight for various causes. But I never just gave up. Deleting the blog was childish in my opinion. If they weren’t interested in the fight anymore it would have been very easy just to leave the blog dormant or pass it on to someone who would use it.

Were they afraid someone may find out their identity??

I say so what.

The fight is long from being over with. The truth STILL needs to be told. Oh yeah….one more thing to say…..

WE AIN’T DONE YET

Oh my Oh my they finally found the picture. So is Kimmer gonna say this is her real name and the real her. Man I hope the remaining few see this and see what a liar she is.

NOW this should be taken to KTLA. And Dateline. And MSNBC Investigates.

No, she will simply try to say they stole all her pictures, or else she will admit sooner or later that she is obese but she DOES know people who lost from Kimkins and she was just ashamed she couldn’t. Perhaps her baldness has something to do with her not being able to lose? While we are all right in our exposing her, I have felt through this whole thing that perhaps she is just UNABLE to lose…at least this way….and she has other health concerns.
Then, people will pat her on the back and hold her because of her health problems and Kimkinites will still say they don’t care who she is.

Yeeeeeah.

it would be hard for her to claim it is really her since the pic is a 27 yr old russian on 2 different websites the one posted here and this one http://www.onewife.com/girl_profile.php?id=16077

From past experience with “KimCon” we know that she will take the Truth that is staring her in the face and try to “shape” it into some logical (laughable) explanation.
Honestly, Kimmer, you should try your hand at writing fiction. No wait, that’s what you have been doing. Nevermind …

The *Lesya* know, the *more-ya* understand.

Kudos to the duck-tectives at LCF, who were so determined in tracking down this fraud. I am honoured to have been even a peripheral part of this group – it’s not often that a person has a chance to help people and the sinking of the Kimtanic will rescue a lot of good people from living a harmful, if not deadly lifestyle.

I KNEW that had to be a fake picture. That woman (at the age of 27) looked much too young to be Kimmer, who should be in her 40’s (if you can believe anything she ever told us). It was the red dress picture that made me go hmmmmmmmm…….

Gee, Tippy. Are you STILL defending this mental, lying, scamming, self important, fraud? I think that both TT and SL have known for quite awhile that Miss Heidi/Kimmer were one and the same and taking advantage of people.

October 6, 2007 at 9:08 pm

Loli

Why is it soooo damaging to one’s perception of people that many of you have latched onto and keep repeating this idea that Heidi Diaz suffers from some sort of mental problem/instabilty? Quit it. All you’re doing is giving her ideas and the notion credibility.

Does it allow you to sleep at night to think no one could simply be that callus and uncaring? Calculating and manipulative? After all, you’d have to be mentally ill to do and say whatever was needed to to separate people from their money and actually take pleasure in puppeteering people in their Dance of Guilibility? Please. People do and have done so for far lesser and rewarding motives.

I’m sure there’s more than a smattering of needing to feel needed and stroking the ego thrown into the mix. But that a crazy woman does not make.

Another question…. we now know that many of the success stories’ “After” pictures are from the various Russian Bride websites… but where are the “Before” pictures from? Are these real Kimkins dieters’ before pictures she used? Or?

Thanks to all who have tirelessly searched until they could barely see anymore and a very special thanks to HoneyBee for keeping it all organized and sacrificing much needed sleep. By the way, did we crash the LCF boards??? I’m in need of an “update fix” and there are more Russian brides (and grooms) that need finding! Help!!!!!

What happened to your ethics Ducky? The girls at LowCarbFriends.com are doing all the work exposing Kimmer and you just copy all the information to your blog and don’t even give the girls credit and a courtesy link to their work in the Fascination thread?

If you read the various posts, a thank you to those at Low Carb Friends is included. Without their hard work, the faked photos would not have been found.

Truth- Since the Doc can practice acupuncture through the World Wide Web maybe the lobotomy is not a far stretch on his abilities and apparently his license qualifications. Since he states it can be used for a multitude of skills and titles that I was not aware of as well. (Wink, Wink)

Which has a real ring of truth to it. Folks, this pause in Ducky’s and Truth’s blogs should tell lots of scam-o-nites something. What there isn’t there to report, they don’t report.

The cards are on the table. The red dress picture is the final piece. Check and checkmate. If the KKinites don’t get it now, they never will. I’m sure when there’s more reporting to be done, Ducky and Truth will be right out there telling it like it is.

The “Time Worstall Tabloid Edition” says:

November 12, 2007
Kimkins
Kimkins, or the Kimkins diet has been shown up to be just another scam on the unsuspecting.

Heidi “Kimmer” Diaz, the founder of the Kimkin’s diet – a low carb, low calorie diet – is schedule to appear in a Southern California court on Monday, November 12th, 2007. 11 former users of her Kimkins diet program filed a complaint against her one week ago, claiming fraud, false advertising, and unjust enrichment.
The Kimkin’s scandal began when Woman’s World, a popular women’s magazine featured an article on the Kimkin’s diet.

Ms Diaz, who was claiming to have lost 198 pounds in 11 months using her diet plan, refused to meet with the magazine in person, instead corresponding through email. She went so far as to send the magazine before and after pictures that looked nothing alike, which makes sense when people found out that the before pictures were Ms. Diaz, however the after pictures were taken from a Russian ‘mail-order’ bride web site.

The kimkins diet advised eating just 500 calories a day. That less than concentration camp victims were getting:

Kimkins diet followers reported hair loss, menstrual cessation, irregualr heartbeat, fainting spells, and liver damage from the starvation diet scam.

No damn wonder! Let’s hope she’s jailed where she can get a decent diet!

Happy 2008 All…Don’t become a stastic of the Kimkins Diet Scam in 2008. I have faith in people and I know that there are a lot of people out there that will do the research and find the horrors of the Kimkins diet, the bannings of “lifetime” members for no reason other than to take their money from them, the no feedback from Kimmer herself on the site as promised and the dangers of the starvation diet that Kimmer (Heidi K. Diaz), who never even lost the weight herself, promotes. Ban Kimkins in 2008 and find a free and safe diet site to support your weight loss efforts in 2008. The year you will succeed WITHOUT Kimkins starvation diet!

New Year’s Resolutions….
When the New Year comes upon us, those of us with excess weight, start to think of a way to try to get off our excess weight, one more time. If you are computer savvy, you start searching for a fast and easy weight loss plan. Recently, the Kimkins.comdiet has come into the lime light as being a fast and easy diet. Don’t be fooled. Do your research! Kimkins.con is nothing more than a low fat, low carb, low calorie, unhealthy starvation diet that is causing Eating Disorders (EDs) in many. This diet was started by a lady who calls herself “Kimmer” and never even lost the weight herself on her own diet. Kimmer even charges $59.95 for her unhealthy starvation diet and offers a “lifetime” membership that gets you banned from her website with no recourse if you question her about her diet or after pictures. There are a lot of good Low Carb diets on the market that are a healthy way of eating that you can get for free on different websites along with the community support you need. Try them first and see how much better you feel losing your weight in 2008!!

Where the weather is always damp.

You may think that this is the end,
Well it is, but to prove we’re all liars,
We’re going to sing it again,
Only this time we’ll sing a little higher.

Wow Kimmerexia, it’s nice to see that those of you who so frown upon those of us who are “juvenile in mind” are yourselves so mature. Way to go with the p.r. there.

March 25, 2008 at 5:13 am

yustyucky

man oh man I totally forgot about posting that harsh comment to the blogger formerly known as Truth. I’m sorry, Truth, that was really unkind of me to phrase my honest disappoint in such harsh terms.

What I mostly was feeling so upset about was that in blogging about the contents of Heidi’s pm system, you blew an unprecedented access that could have, if kept totally private and reported solely to the authorities and to JohnTiedt, still be bringing in a wealth of information.

Since I’m entirely obsessed with my self of course and since my personality is revelatory and confessional, I’ll say right up front (or wherever this is) that I’ve been guilty at times of indulging my egotistical urge to blab. But never have I had access to Heidi’s pm system.

eh, if I had, I’d probably have done exactly what you did — blab about it, and thereby blown a priceless resource.

When you first started posting the inside info, I chimeed right in with the applause and the ooh’s which were entirely heartfelt. It was only later, in hindsight, that I realized what it all actually meant in relation to the big picture. And I was more than a bit annoyed.

Still, it was rude of me to post that harsh comment to you, and I’m truly sorry for being so hateful.

Of course I don’t expect you to forgive me and hey, that’s ok too.

theTRUTH

Mimi/yucky,
I can’t really talk about the PMs too much, but when I first revealed them, I no longer had access to them live, so I figured no harm in releasing them for the general education of the public. After that, I gained access again for a time.

I can’t imagine messages of this sort being admissible in any way to the court case though. In fact, I’m positive John’s response would have been, “I don’t want to hear about those messages and I don’t want to know how you got them.”

So what do we do with information that is begging to be shared but isn’t useful in a legal sense?

With all that happened yesterday and last night, you may have missed that theTRUTH posted private messages between Kimmer (Heidi Diaz) and Tippytoes (Jeannie Baitinger) that detailed the salary negotiation that occured prior to Tippy accepting a paid position on Kimkins.

Read full details here.

We know for a fact that the salary Tippytoes accepted was less than previous paid staff, but Kimmer played it that she was paying Tippy well.

Okay, so it’s lame, I know…I knew Susan was a fake even when I signed up because the before picture was in NO way 290 pounds and looked 39402 years older…but I still hoped maybe I was completely wrong and she had tons of plastics done since I’m a college student too and had the same stats nearly.
I was so pathetic to keep hoping, though I kept arguing and telling myself that it was impossible that was teh same person.

October 4, 2007 at 8:23 pm

Ooooooooooh and what makes me more mad is Melissa! I knew her after picture looked funky. I thought she was WAY beautiful in the before picture and didn’t get how her after picture was so much better.
Being the same faith as ‘Melissa’ and some of the same sorts of symptoms (PCOS), I knew it was too good to be true.
I think Heidi would sift through forums and see what people were talking about and create stories to cater to their needs to suck in more people!!!

Besides all that, you can always tell when it’s fake because the beginning of the story is some lame-o introduction that sells the product, just like the lame-o ebook!

I’m just cracking up here… “Lucy” is still on the site but it appears as if she’s taken the others down (as far as I could tell). What was making me laugh is that all the people who claimed to lose quite a bit of weight are now replaced with the 20-40 pound losers.

Here’s Genevieve:

Age: 32

Starting Weight: 148
Final Weight: 112
Total Loss: 36
How Long: 3 months

36 Pounds Lost & New Life After Divorce!

Hello all! I’m Genevieve.

If you notice my “before” photograph you’ll see a pudgy and depressed woman. That was me. I was comtemplating why my life felt so out of control. I was making bad food choices and using every excuse under the sun to overeat.

I had recently separated from my husband of 9 years. We live in a community property state and the cutoff date to avoid long term alimony payments is 10 years. His reason? He needed a change. He also earned a six figure salary as a sales manager that he wanted to protect. It’s amazing to think that the person you think you know the best turns out to be a total stranger.

During our divorce I found out about secret affairs he had with many women. He had been paying one woman’s rent and car payment! My life felt like it was cycling out of control. Nothing made sense and I was afraid to make any decisions. My sister finally asked me to meet her for lunch (yummm, more food) and sat me down. We had a sister heart to heart and I told her everything. She suggested I do something to take my power back.

Good idea. I began seeing a divorce therapist to help me deal with my growing sense of loss and devastation. After listening to my complaints about gaining weight, she suggested I get serious about finding a diet plan. I had no idea where to look because I had never had an obesity condition. I knew the diversion would be good for me.

After calling the diet plans I saw advertised on TV and the high prices involved I realized that the diets worked by not leaving you enough money for food. I went to Barnes & Noble to look at diet books. As I browsed I saw a diet brochure in a woman’s purse. I hadn’t heard of it and asked what she thought. She raved! Turns out she was a sales affiliate and answered all of my questions. She also showed me her before and after photos. Big difference!

Once I joined I kept in touch with the affiliate (thanks Nikki!) The diet was easy enough to follow, but sometimes I did have questions about whether a food was “legal”. My high school students noticed my weight loss after the first week and gave me extra encouragement!

Now that I’m at goal weight I’ve got a new outlook on life. Being overweight doesn’t stop your life, but it sure slows it down. Thankfully I’ve got the tools I need to maintain my weight and I’m spreading the word to others!

Laura Dolson from About.com Banned at Kimkins

4 10 2007

In a post yesterday, Kimmer Continues to Lie, “I am not Heidi”, Kimmer wrote:

The news clip me of the “diet review” done by About.com which also only parrots the anti-Kimmer blogs. No medical review. No impartiality. Hundreds of pro-Kimkins members wrote to Laura Dolson (who was impressed with their intelligence she told me), but didn’t change her review at all.

Laura Dolson, the guide for the Low Carb Diets section at About.com replied within the Kimkins forums today, her reply was removed and she was banned.

Laura Dolson wrote:

I don’t know how long this post will be up (I suspect not for long), but I wanted to take this opportunity to set the record straight regarding Kimmer’s comments about my report.

First of all, all content on About.com’s health sites goes through review.

Secondly, prior to about mid-July, I had not paid the slightest bit of attention to the “Kimkins Controversy”, but I started getting emails about whether it was a good plan, so I decided I should find out for myself. I had no investment in it one way or the other. I have given my opinion of the pros and cons of many low carb plans on my Web site. I investigated and gave an honest reporting of the diet, and my opinion about it.

After that, I had long emails with the Kimkins Public Relations Director at that time (Christin) about what were perceived to be inaccuracies in my initial report. They were issues such as whether or not Kimkins is a low fiber diet. Christin said it is not a low fiber diet because it allows foods which have fiber. I countered that since the total carb level (including fiber) is no more than 20 grams, and usually less, the fiber level must be low. That is an example of the type of discussion we had.

I was also given an invitation to visit the Kimkins site, so I was able to look for myself (which is why I am able to post this). During the conversation with Christin and my review of the site, I was only able to find two things that were inaccurate my the initial report. The first is that on some of the Kimkins plans small amounts of dairy products (yogurt and cheese) are allowed. The second is that I stated that a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is recommended, and on the site I could only find evidence that a multivitamin is recommended. (Somewhat ironic because the Kimkins plan is even lower in minerals than in vitamins.) Since Christin assured me that somewhere on the site Kimmer did recommend a supplement that included minerals, I let that stand without comment in my update, which I wrote about 6 weeks after the initial review.

Since then I have had one email exchange with Kimmer, wherein I once again issued an invitation to correct any inaccuracies in my report. I also extend that invitation to Kimkins members reading this. However, I must say that as time goes on, I have only had further confirmation of my initial review, including a physician on the Kimkins TV news report who described it as a starvation diet.

After my first review, Kimmer asked her members to send me “proof that the diet works” (she said I wanted the emails, which was inaccurate). I did receive over 100 emails from people saying that they had lost weight, but this, of course, is not surprising. When people stop eating (or severely cut calories), they will lose weight, no doubt about it. That is not the point. During my emails with Christin, I told her of my genuine concern for her health. She assured me that she was fine – however, two months later that statement is in serious question, by her own admission. I extend my concern to all of you on the Kimkins program, especially the more severe forms. I ask you whether rapid weight loss is worth endangering your health. Is it worth muscle loss, especially heart muscle? Is it worth bone loss? You may think your health is fine, but so did Christin. How would you know? I urge you to at least take the details of what you are eating to your doctor.

I know the lure of quick weight loss is great, but your health is worth asking a lot of questions.

My very best wishes to all who read this –

About.com Picks Up KTLA Kimkins Scam Story

4 10 2007

Headlining the Low Carb Diet area of About.com today, KTLA-TV breaks Kimkins “Internet Diet Scam” Story. Laura Dolson previous warned against the Kimkins diet here, and again here.

In her latest article, she writes:

The story of the Kimkins diet scam has reached the world outside the Internet. Part one of a two-part story aired on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles last night and this morning. Part two will air tonight. Happily for us, the video is available for all to see.The story contains footage of Kimmer/Heidi Diaz, who, when questioned, merely said, “no comment”. A former Kimkins dieter was interviewed, as well as the private investigator on the case, who confirmed the identity of Kimmer and Heidi Diaz as being one and the same. A spokesperson for the Better Business Bureau said that Heidi had declined to meet with them because she is “a bit shy”.

Tonight, it sounds as though they will be focusing on the health effects of the Kimkins diet. This is especially important since more people have been coming forward with health problems, including Christin, the ex-public relations person at Kimkins. Last week, this 28 year old woman had to go to the hospital with chest pains. She was found to have a heart rate that kept going under 40. Although it thankfully doesn’t appear that Christin is in immediate danger, slow heart rate can be a result of anorexia, due to the very low calorie diet. This type of diet is similar to the Kimkins variant which Christin was on. Our community here wishes Christin all the best – she is in the thoughts and prayers of many.

It’s important to note that these health problems can often happen weeks or months after the diet is stopped, as in Christin’s case. Morals of the story: 1) Don’t risk your health with extreme diets. 2) Be careful to check out health claims carefully before participating in any unfamiliar health regimen.

Kimmer (Heidi Diaz) Audio Released

4 10 2007

Today, Jimmy Moore released a transcript and audio of a telephone conversation he had with Kimmer (Heidi Diaz) at his blog Livin’ La Vida Low Carb.The email he released confirms the email address of Kimmer previously presented by others whom she communicated with via email. Jimmy wrote:

I came across the e-mail response I received from Kimmer/Heidi Diaz to my original written blog interview with her published in October 2006 (which I have since removed because I didn’t want to be perceived as endorsing her diet). Wanna see what this woman who claims she is not Heidi Diaz wrote to me in her e-mail with her interview responses? Check this out (the BOLD type is MY emphasis):

Date: Monday, October 2, 2006 3:01 AM
From: Heidi Diaz < heidi.k.diaz@gmail.com >

To: livinlowcarbman@charter.net
Subject: Kimmer Interview
Size: 66 KB
Attachments: Interview – Jimmy Moore.doc (62.9 KB)
Hello Jimmy!You’ve got the patience of a saint, thanks for being understanding. I’ve attached my Interview for your review. I prefer to use smaller paragraphs for readability, but please feel free to edit as desired for your needs.

Now you know my secret identity! Shhhhhhh! ;)

Kimmer

He continued in his post, “Kimmer told me she’s REALLY Heidi Diaz (and if you look at her e-mail address, it’s Heidi K. Diaz…could that be Heidi KIMBERLY Diaz, hmmm?). What’s funny is right before I interviewed her for my podcast show a couple of months back, I asked her if Heidi Diaz was indeed her real name and she told me that was her cousin’s name. HUH? That was just really strange since she clearly admitted in that e-mail to me one year ago that Heidi Diaz was her “secret identity.” She either lied then or she’s lying now.”

Later in his post, he provides a transcript of the telephone conversation he recorded yesterday: Jimmy Moore: “Okay, I am calling Kimmer, otherwise known as Heidi Diaz, right now. We’re gonna see if we can get her on the phone and address some of these issues that were brought up (phone ringing) in that TV…broadcast.” (phone ringing)

Heidi Diaz: “Hello?”

Jimmy Moore: “Hey Heidi?”

Heidi Diaz: “Hello?”

Jimmy Moore: “Hey Heidi? Hello…”

Heidi Diaz: “I can take a message for her.”

Jimmy Moore: “It’s Jimmy Moore, how are you?”

Heidi Diaz: “Jimmy Moore, okay…and, does she have your number?”

Jimmy Moore: “You don’t know who Jimmy Moore is?” (pause) “Hello?”

Heidi Diaz: “Hello? I’m sor…we’re watching kids right now.”

Jimmy Moore: “Oh you’re fine.”

Heidi Diaz: “Can I take a…can I take a phone number for you?”

Jimmy Moore: “Um, no, I want to talk to you.” (pause)

Heidi Diaz: “I’m sorry?”

Jimmy Moore: “I said I’m talking to you.” (long pause) “Hello?”

Heidi Diaz: “I…” (long pause)

Jimmy Moore: “Y-you’re Heidi, right?”

Heidi Diaz:(murmuring away from the phone) “Do you guys know a Jimmy somebody?” (speaking into the phone) “I’m telling you she is out, can I take a number and I’ll have her call you back.”

Jimmy Moore: “Okay…”

Heidi Diaz: “Kedsul (???), over there.”

Jimmy Moore: “I talked to you about a month and a half ago on my podcast show.” (long pause) “Hello?”

Heidi Diaz: “Um…I think you have the wrong number.”

Jimmy Moore: “Uh, no, Heidi, I don’t have the wrong number, I’m just asking you a question.” (CLICK) “Hello?” (long pause) “I do believe she hung up. I think that answers our questions, how about you?”

Jimmy uploaded the audio for anyone who wants to hear the conversation at his podcast website.

You can hear the telephone conversation in episode 92. Play in Popup

In part 1 of KTLA’s expose, you can listen to Kimmer’s (Heidi Diaz) voice to compare when she says “no comment” to reporter, Chip Yost.And you can hear Kimmer’s (Heidi Diaz) voice in the previous podcast interview of her and Jimmy Moore.————————————–

A member at Kimkins asked moments ago,

Re:Back On Track
Kimmer – Did Heidi “step in as you” on podcast with Jimmie Moore too?
Or was that you?

Like snapping her fingers to get someone to get her a pencil quick to take a number.

“WE’RE” watching kids…who’s we? Vanessa Sharp, Nikki Sharp, Brad Johnson, and Kim Drake?

You know…so WW article called her Kim Drake…so when people ask for Heidi Diaz it shouldn’t be a big deal, right? Because Kimmer is Kim Drake, right?

Oh, the inconsistencies.

P.S. I called her number numerous times before and no answer. Just a voice mail…with the number, no voice.
Go figure.

Did Jimmy ever return the tens of thousands of dollars he received from Kimmer for promoting her diet and site?

Shouldn’t he donate it all to charity since he was one of the big promoters of this 500 calorie scam? It sickens me to read about his new iphone and other toys that me, Jeanessa and all the other ex-kimkin members have paid for. He has no other job, right?

Screw the apology Jimmy. Show us da money.





Catherine Speaks Up

4 10 2007

The woman who was Kimmer’s (Heidi Diaz) business partner from April until September 2006 is Catherine. Her husband, Martin Higgins, hosts the Slamboard series detailing the partnership and the growing concern Catherine had over Kimmer’s integrity and business practices that eventually led to Kimmer (Heidi Diaz) buying her out of the partnership.

Catherine, until today has remained silent about what happened, allowing her husband to write about what happened at Slamboard.

Today she broke her silence and posted this on Low Carb Friends:

I’m the Catherine in question and I have been avoiding the boards during this saga, is it three months now? I was afraid I’d get sucked in and spend too much time on it and I’ve never been much of a board poster to start with. You can see I’ve been a member here since 2004 and mostly I lurked.

I don’t have much to add to what Martin has said about my involvement with Kimkins. He had access to my records, and as well I have fact checked all his posts. If you have questions about what happened or what I knew I would encourage you first to read all the posts and really pay attention to the dates. I was done with Kimkins and Heidi at the end of September 2006, before the majority of these success stories and before the red dress picture. Look at the Wayback Machine.

Heidi presented me with the few success stories we had using elaborate back stories in her emails to me about how she knew the ladies personally or had assisted them in PMs here at LowCarbFriends. Other success stories were people we both knew from the boards (Cheryl, for example). I believed that the diet worked and I saw so many people losing weight with it that the idea of faking stories would have been ludicrous.

I thought Heidi was a mean, manipulative, lying piece of work by the time our partnership was over. But even then I still thought she was thin and I still believed that she had foster kids. When I saw the red dress lady in June of 2007 something clicked. It had to be fake and if that picture was fake how much else was fake?

People have doubted and criticized me at times throughout the fascination threads, especially in the beginning when most of this was speculation. When Martin and I decided to go public with the story and try to find out the truth I knew we would deal with some of that and I have tried to have a thick skin about it. But really, I think it has been much harsher at times than was warranted because most of you do not “know” me. However, Jimmy Moore, Becky, and Cutie do know me and I think they will all agree that they have no reason to believe I was in on the deception. Heidi lied to me just like she lied to them.

If you have any questions, go ahead and ask them and if I can answer them I will.

Catherine was nothing but professional in all my encounters with her. She exhibited kindness every step of the way in dealing with me and I never lost respect for her even when “The Kimmer” tried to trash her good name in an e-mail exchange where I was copied in. Catherine, I’m proud of you and only wish I had followed you out the door when you left.

October 4, 2007 at 4:46 pm

itscloudyinhere

I am wondering though, did Catherine or Martin ever answer to kimmers accusations about their moving to Malta to evade taxes?

October 4, 2007 at 5:14 pm

Becky/Littlebit

I stand with Catherine. I can testify to her professionalism and integrity in every dealing I had with her. Looking back, I remember certain questions and comments Catherine made to me privately, that I realize were her effort to find the truth about Kimmer without gossiping or besmirching Kimmer’s name. Catherine behaved honorably, and left when she had grave doubts about Kimmer.

Kimmer, on the other hand, maligned Catherine behind her back to me and to others (Cutie can confirm this) and suggested Catherine had done things that it has since become known that Kimmer herself did.

Catherine’s only mistake was the same as many of us — believing someone who turned out to be a fraud. She has made the effort to correct that mistake, by exposing the truth about Kimmer. Despite Heidi’s ridiculous accusations that this is about money and jealousy from Catherine, I think this is just an effort to put things right.

Anyone who has gotten close enough to Kimmer to get badly burned by her knows how that feels.

P.S. Martin and Catherine have no reason to answer Kimmer’s spurious ‘tax evasion’ accusations. Kimmer is a known liar and scammer, with a long history of distracting unwanted attention from herself by transferring doubt and blame to her opponents. It is her veracity that should be doubted, not theirs. They have both made their real names, faces, and location publicly known in all of this. They are not the ones hiding something.

I disagree with that. That is the same tactic that Heidi/Kimmer uses.

If they even jokingly said or wrote something to kimmer intimating such a thing, kimmer will expose it.
If they use the same logic as she does, how will that make them look “more” honest than she?

October 4, 2007 at 5:46 pm

Kim

I believe that Martin did address the tax question at one point. I’m not sure if it is on this blog or another, but it was something along the lines that they did move to Malta for lower taxes, but that they are not evading anything…they simply relocated for a lower tax base.

There is nothing illegal about that whatsoever.

October 4, 2007 at 6:08 pm

Martin

Itscloudyinhere, Catherine never said anything, even jokingly, about tax evasion to Kimmer. Canadian citizens are only subject to Canadian income taxes if they are Canadian residents. Americans must answer to the IRS no matter where they live — the difference may be what is giving this smear tactic any traction.

Lower taxes was only one small consideration in our decision to move — Malta also has an amazing warm climate (something unavailable in Canada) and a tight knit Mediterranean culture. We got tired of shoveling snow and hearing about drug busts and shootings (yes, even in Canada).

Jimmy, Becky, thanks for your kind words — I know that Catherine holds you both in very high regard.

October 4, 2007 at 7:15 pm

itscloudyinhere

Now that’s what I’m talking about! Direct, to the point answers!

See answers like that make much more sense than avoiding the subject or spinning the tale as we see Heidi/kimmer doing at every turn.

I’m glad there’s no hidden funnies to be made into something sinister.

Thanks for the answer Martin!

October 4, 2007 at 7:56 pm

Stiff

Martin,

I’d move, too. I’m a Mediterranean lover (wannabe! I’m Sicilian), I lived two hours from Canada (also Canadian by heritage!) and most people called my region “Junior Canada”. We get sick of shoveling, drugs, and selfishness.
I’d move to Malta in a heartbeat should my finances afford the move.
I’m glad you’re so honest. 🙂

Wow. I can’t believe how many there are, and from how few sites! I’m sure the red dress lady is out there somewhere. Maybe we could get more people involved in the search. Are there any message boards out there for men looking for russian brides? If so, we could post there, asking if any of them know where that photo is from. (Maybe somebody even married her… 😉

Does anyone know when the photo was posted? Having a timeframe might help the search…

I scoured Globaladies.com (another Russian site) last night, and came across these 2 pics that looked vaguely familiar.

Does anyone recognize these ladies as “after” pics on Kimkins?

I may be way off base, but thought I’d post the links anyway.

I wish I could search those sites at work! Stupid filters. I’m ready to find the red dress woman! It’s like all of this is building up to the mother-of-all-photos. It’s almost like Heidi is sitting by watching and laughing at how deeply ‘hidden’ the mother-picture is as we unravel all this.

Though I doubt she’s laughing.

She’s probably packing. 🙂

As one of the “real” success stories, it’s clear we were the minority. It makes me so mad that the handful of us that were real were (and probably still are) up there with a bunch of russian mail order brides! I feel so used! Seriously, if you have not left Kimkins yet, do it now! This is coming from someone who did lose weight and had no side effects and even I am saying – KIMMER IS A FRAUD! You don’t need her to lose weight! There are tons of other forums that will provide support and these other forums are filled with REAL people and REAL success stories, not fake successes pulled off of russian bride sites.

Hugs for those who have been hurt by this SCAMMER. You did nothing wrong and you are far from stupid, what you are guilty of is being honest and trusting people who believes in others. You could never treat others this way and had absolutely no way of knowing what Heidi Diaz was capable of. My family was infected by someone with this type of personality disorder and it stung us very deeply. It takes time to heal, please surround yourself with those you know who are true and honest and be kind to yourselves I will tell you that your sh*t detector will be on high alert from now on and you will be able to spot garbage a mile away. Heidi/Kimmer is truly is a very sick human being.

Amy (curlygirl) – THANK YOU for coming out and saying this! I am so glad you are speaking up like this, since you have always been such a role model and inspiration to others. I hope people listen to you!

Kimmer’s misuse and exploitation of others is a crime, in every sense of the word.
PLEASE, people, do not have ANY part of her criminal enterprise!

Folks, you can lose weight with friends for support, WITHOUT aiding and abetting a criminal.

Amy is a REAL success, and has her own free forum, http://forum.eatinglow.com/

Eat, People, EAT!

I remember Heidi’s defense about people sending her those photos, and she also said that SHE tried to Photoshop them to adjust the lighting since most people don’t know how to take good photos of themselves. (insert rolling eyes) What are the odds that EVERY one of those alleged members lifted their pics from the same Russian site??? ROFLMAO.

It was also interesting when ALL of those new photos showed up at the same time after the remodel. She got rid of the old ones that people had questioned, and just put up a batch of new fake ones.

It’s so insulting how she just laughs in the face of morality. Some of those pictures clearly looked dated and just embarassingly awkward, we hashed over these at ALC but there was no way of figuring out where they came from. This is a MAJOR coup! Much props to all of the cyber detectives for finding these!

Wonder what she’ll put up now?

I am the person who found the fake “Annette” photo that got this ball rolling,
and even I am shocked that almost every single success story is a fake! I thought there would be a few, sure, but this many? Unbelievable!

I just had a hunch yesterday afternoon, and got lucky right away. The photos would have to be available *somewhere* and there was something vaguely Russian/Eastern European about many of the them. Pay dirt!! I knew once I posted it everyone would dig until every last one was turned up and they did so in record time! Awesome work guys!

the woman in the red dress was actually on the success stories the other week as Nikki?? she lost 60 pounds in 3 months. She was an Italian who loved to cook but changed her lifestyle..it was the same woman who had the dark hair and the brown shirt and was leaning in for a picture. Which I think, is the same as the red dress lady…
