I checked in on the Kimkins webpage earlier today, and saw that Heidi is reporting a total weight loss of 50 lbs thus far. What she's actually lost, if anything, is debatable, but let's just assume for a moment that this is true. She's been "back on track" since she was exposed as a fraud on national television during the Mike and Juliet show back on 12 November 2007. That's the day she posted a notice on her website that she was not in fact a lithe 120 lbs Russian Bride named Kim Drake who lost 198 lbs in 11 months, but rather an 300+ lb conwoman named Heidi Diaz. She said in that same statement that she had "lost 100 lbs in six months" though no mention was made of when that supposedly happened (like after that weight loss surgery she had).
We know the 198 lbs in 11 months claim was bogus, and I doubt the 100 lbs in six months claim is true as well. But, let's give Heidi the benefit of the doubt, and say she did lose 100 lbs in six months, which represents a weight loss of ~16.7 lbs a month (198 lbs in 11 months is ~18 lbs per month). I am sure this is just a coincidence, but Kimmer has been "back on track" for nearly three months, and guess what her average weight loss is based on her alleged 50 lb loss? That's right -- 16.7 lbs per month!
And do you know what else? If she continues to lose at a rate of 16.7 lbs per month (unlikely), in just nine more months she would be down to around 120 lbs, approximately the weight she claimed to have been for years. Total time on this (imaginary) weight loss journey: 12 months, just one month more than her original imaginary weight loss journey.
The coincidence is impressive, even if the alleged weight loss is nothing special. Seriously, people lose like that all the time on Atkins. Heck, some people do even better than that, *I* lost 21 lbs my first month on Atkins. And I ate bacon! My weight loss slowed as I got smaller, which is to be expected, and I wasn't that heavy to begin with. I didn't starve, and I lost the weight anyway. Lots of people do.
It's just too bad for Heidi that those ongoing court appearances get in the way of posting more fake after pix this time. She's forced to be somewhat honest now, though reports from people forced to be in the same space as her indicate that whatever weight she's lost isn't all that obvious. Given that she's started a pinky-swear challenge in response to her admitted cheating, I suspect she's looking for excused to explain the pictures of her she knows will eventually leak out, and will blame her lapses on the lawsuit and the antikimkins bloggers.
Whatever.

5 Kerfuffles:
We're all at the stage where we say to Heidi's supposed weight loss - prove it! Nor is her claimed lost poundage anywhere near the original claims for several months of Kimkins. Now it's apparently limited to 3 months. Time to stop, Heidi. Oh, you already have? And nobody told you? In the real world, that's known as a plateau.
When she started, she said she would reach goal by her birthday in May. Guess her goal is no longer 118 lbs. I always found this number ridiculous anyway as Kimmer always claimed to be big boned.
Oh, Anonymous. Silly, silly anonymous. There are no plateaus on Kimkins! ;)
Elle, the only thing Heidi is losing is brain cells. The Cap'n will do that to you when you hit him as hard as she does ;)
As always, a great post, Elle!
