I had emailed Kimmer aka Heidi on the raising of her price. The following is from the email response she sent me....
Hey Linda!
Sorry for the delay in answering, we've had a zillion new members since New Years!
We had planned to raise our price a modest $20 on January 1st to compensate for our increased expenses. Our credit card processing fee rose from 2.9% to 14.5% plus web hosting, tech support and administrative increases. We're still far cheaper than Weight Watchers or South Beach that charge $350+ per year!
Since you had the eagle eyes to spot the change, I'll make you a deal. Go ahead and join at $79.95 then write me back with your receipt number & home address. I'll mail you a certified check for the $20 difference. Fair enough?
Welcome!Kimmer

Sounds like a screaming deal to me! Sign me up....NOT! Such a crock of crap! Notice that she says she has had a "ZILLION of new members sign up" why don't I believe that??? If I have my way, her website will be closed down and she will never have another person join!

I have found a cause to fight and boy let me tell you! Everything that I have found out about this woman and her website, I am hopping mad!
Kimmer or should I say Heidi, Karma is a b_tch, and boy howdy are you going to get spanked! If I were you, instead of raising your price twenty more bucks, I would be bailing for the nearest border. Obviously, you are not a intellegent being.
My promise to you Heidi, I will be telling any one, every one about you and your site. I will be focused on making sure your life is going to get VERY uncomfortable......
