Win $300! Kimkins Essay Contest 2009

Kimkins Essay Contest
Win $300! $150! $50!

We're celebrating our 3rd Anniversary with the 2009 Kimkins Essay Contest! The Kimkins diet principles began in 1997. Over the past 12 years many Kimkins diet participants have shared heart warming stories of what losing weight has meant to them. New self esteem, a new social life, improving health conditions or discovering self-confidence are indeed the benefits they reap.

Now is your chance to share how Kimkins has helped improve your quality of life. Tell your personal story and express yourself! The deadline is short to encourage natural and spontaneous writing. Don't over think it. You don’t need to have reached goal weight. Just speak from the heart and have fun!

Not sure what to write about? What diets did you try before Kimkins? How did your life change after (or during) weight loss? Has the Kimkins website helped in your diet journey? Have you experienced health improvements or need less medications? Do you find reading the personal journals, seeing weight loss photos and getting support from Kimkins friends or challenge groups inspiring? Do you feel more confident about career opportunities?

Here's your chance -- tell us!
