Ok, you ready for this? I’m going to give you THE proven secret formula for losing weight.
Eat Less + Exercise More = Lose Weight
Really, that’s it.
Eat less, exercise more, and you will lose weight.
Ok fine. I realize it’s not that simple, and really not all that much of a secret. I mean… honestly, this is like saying the way to win the Super Bowl is to score more points than the other team. Yea, it’s true but it’s nowhere near the whole story.
So when it comes to your weight loss, what is the whole story?
I have no friggen clue.
Really.. I don’t.
What I do have is a story, a story of what has worked for me… and well obviously if you’ve been reading this site at all you should realize by now that for me it included weight loss surgery.
See, that whole forumula thing is true, but I needed help with the eating less part, and that’s where WLS comes in. It’s the whole “WLS is a tool” thing you’ve likely heard about. and its true. I just physically can’t eat anywhere near the quantity of food I used to before surgery, I would get seriously sick before I came close.
And thanks to the eating less helping me lose some weight, it’s helped make it easier for me to increase my physical activity, which is the other part of the equation that helps increase the odds of not just losing weight, but keeping it off.
Now if you can do the whole eating less, exercising more without having surgery like I did, more power to ya dude. I really thought I could… or least that I should be able to do so. But after twenty-some years, I finally admitted to myself that I needed some help.
And that kind of leads in to why I started this blog, why I put the stuff up here that I do. It’s an aid for me, help keeps me motivated, helps me keep focused. It’s my ongoing story.
And if by chance it helps someone else either decide they need this tool to help them, or helps keep them motivated to keep using their tool effectively – well, so much the better.





I love this blog. I just found it and cant wait to sit down for a solid length of time and read the whole thing. Are you on facebook? or youtube? I would love to follow you there as well. This is going to be a great tool no doubt. Thanks.
Thanks!
I am starting to get in to some video stuff… part of me wishes I had sooner, but I wasn’t ready to put myself in front of the camera yet. Check out the Former Fat Dudes YouTube Channel at http://youtube.com/formerfatdudes – right now it’s just me, but in the future… who knows?
I personally am on Facebook… not sure FFD is quite ready for it’s own page on there though… still debating that.
But you can also find me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/mcnee – new blog postings are announced there.
