I am getting a little peeved that SOMEONE has tried to hack my old abandoned weight loss blog 3 times now in the past 8 days. In most circumstances, I admire determination and persistence. For example, if someone actually intended to lose weight instead of "FAUX Dieting", then persistence would be an excellent commodity.I guess that when it comes to scheming and conniving, some people really just don't know when (or how) to quit.

OK, sometimes coincidences are just coincidences. Sometimes, they are more. Which is which?A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I started a WordPress blog to chronicle and hold me accountable for my weight loss. Pretty good idea --- except I couldn't figure out all the ins and out of WordPress at the time and eventually forgot my password. When I decided to renew blogging, it was easier to start all over here on Blogger than to retrace my steps on a barely-begun blog. Two and a half yea... Read Full Story

As for catching up on the lawsuit: Let me 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.An obese but clever sociopathic narcissist gained footage at a popular established low carb diet site, where she claimed to have lost 198 lbs. in a year and to have maintained for 5 years. Her drastic claims and caustic passive-aggressive personality sparked flame wars which ultimately provided excuse to stomp off and open a paid membership site with impressive success stories and before/after photos.All s...

OK, I know I have a lot of blogging to do to catch up. Let's see . . I need to post about: - weight loss, low carbing, good food, some recent victories in that area, etc. --- the original purpose of this blog - the Motion for Summary Judgment in the Kimkins case, filed by Tiedt and Cohen --- Go, John and Michael! - the attempt by someone claiming to be Diaz' attorney Peabody to ask for my personal info via blog comment (as someone named Interested) so he/she/whoever could issue me a Cease a...

Yesterday, Donnie and I and one of the sons decided to use these scratch-up coupons from California Pizza Kitchen that had appeared at our house. I remembered having a great garlicky chicken caesar salad there, and figured I would get that, sans croutons.I also remembered lots of delicious wood-fired pizzas there, too, but I am low-carbing, so those were out! I have learned not even to look at the menu section for things that are off-limits for me, so I contentedly checked out the salad sect... Read Full Story

Here it is, another perfect day in May, and I am doing GREAT at sticking with my eating plan and exercise routine. A few months ago, I was struggling, at best. What's the difference? For me, I wonder if it is the sunshine that puts me in a more optimistic frame of mind. I feel like the whole world is hopeful on a pretty summer day, and anything is possible.Maybe it is just that I'm outdoors more, and more physically active. I work in the garden, take the dogs for longer walks, generally move... Read Full Story

Results are in! Once again, the court quickly certified the case against Kimkins as worthy of Class Action status. As always, John Tiedt rocks!Apparently, Mr. Peabody's arguments didn't impress much. Then again, how could ANYONE defend what Heidi Diaz has done? She did what she did, repeatedly, flagrantly, and has already admitted to the entire basis of the suit against her under oath during deposition testimony. So now, officially, she is being sued not by a mere handful of individuals, as... Read Full Story

I haven't posted here or been online much in a while after all --- long story.But I have access to a computer this morning, and had to hop on quickly to say that the motion to certify the lawsuit against Kimkins/Diaz as a Class Action should be underway NOW.Many people have put enormous effort for countless hours into this, wanting to see Heidi Diaz held accountable for defrauding them. Attorney John Tiedt has valiantly done some amazing work, all without recompense so far. Here's hoping th... Read Full Story
