Why this place exists
Built for heavy bodies.
Open to everybody.
Most of us here live with overweight or obesity. We know what stairs, summer heat and narrow chairs can cost, and we're done with plans that shout and fresh starts every Monday.
Here, nobody gets weighed, measured or graded. Work on your health at your own pace, ask the questions you never dared to ask, swap honest recipes, or just talk about cats and movies until you feel like more.
And if your body isn't heavy? Come in anyway. Good food and good company have never checked anyone's size.
Small steps count. Slow counts. Showing up at all counts.
Everything in one place.
Eight spaces. One direction.
The Harry part
A real person, not a program.
I'm Harry Siegmund. I live in Bavaria with my wife and four cats, one of whom needs a little extra help getting through her day. I cook, I write books, and I watch far too many movies.
And I carry a heavy body. I started out at over 300 kilograms, around 670 pounds. I'm near 200 kilos now, working my way down slowly, without hating myself along the way. So when I say I know how it feels when a chair is a gamble, that's not marketing. That's Tuesday.
I built this community because I couldn't find one that talked to people like me without a raised finger. No before-and-after pressure. No miracle promises. Honest food, small steps, and company for the road.
I'm not a doctor and I won't play one on the internet. For medical decisions, please talk to people who went to school for that. What I offer is experience.

Fair questions
Things you might be wondering.
Is this a diet program?
No. There are no meal plans to follow, no points to count and nobody checking your progress. You'll find recipes, honest information and people to talk to. What you do with all that is entirely up to you.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The forum, the recipes, the infoboard and the blog are free. The shop sells my books and guides, and some pages contain clearly marked affiliate links. That's how the lights stay on, and none of it is required to be part of this place.
Do I have to talk about my weight?
Never. Plenty of people will be here for the recipes, the cats or the movie reviews. You decide what you share and when. Reading along quietly is a completely valid way to be part of a community.
Who is behind this?
One person: Harry Siegmund from Bavaria, Germany, together with his wife and four supervising cats. This is a personal project built by hand, not a company with a call center.
Why are there cats and movie reviews on a health site?
Because a life is bigger than a body. Motivation rarely comes from another lecture about calories. It comes from feeling at home somewhere. Cats and movies happen to be excellent at that.
You don't have to have it all figured out.
Walk in, look around, stay as long as you like. The forum is where this community lives, and the door is open.
Free. No pressure. Leave whenever you like.
