Harry Siegmund is a German author, cook and developer who currently weighs around 200 kilos, down from 307. He is not a finished success story telling you how easy it was. He walks the same road as you, just a few steps ahead in some places and behind in others.

You came from a video. Good.

Welcome. This place is about you.

Q: Is the AllyouneedisHarry community free?

Yes. The forum, the recipes, the Info Board and the blog are free. The shop sells digital books and guides, but you never need to buy anything to be part of the community.

Q: Is this another lose weight fast program?

No. There is no plan that promises a new body in ten days. AllyouneedisHarry is about losing weight slowly and calmly, with food you enjoy and movement that does not bring you close to a heart attack.

Q: Does Harry build software too?

Yes. The first app is Markdown Drop, a Windows tool that converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other documents into clean Markdown. It runs on your own machine and never uploads a file. One-time purchase of $9.99, no subscription. More tools are in the making.

Q: What are the videos about?

Cooking, health tips, gentle exercise for people with obesity, body care like foot care, and small tricks that make everyday life easier. The things used in the videos appear under Needful Things with affiliate links.

Q: What does the newsletter contain and how often does it come?

About once a week: recipes, calm weight loss notes, community news, book updates and everyday tips. You get a free PDF guide when you sign up, and one click unsubscribes you.

Q: Are there affiliate links on this site?

Yes, under Needful Things and Cool Stuff. If you buy through those links, Harry earns a small commission and you pay nothing extra. They are marked, and Harry only lists things he actually uses or honestly rates.

AllyouneedisHarry is a community for people who want to change something in their life. Slowly, calmly, without noise and without shaming. Everything from the videos lives here: the community, the recipes, the tips, the things I actually use, and the software I build.

Who is behind this

I started at 307 kilos. Today I weigh around 200. I am not going to stand here at 65 kilos one day and tell you how easy it was. That story bores me. I would rather walk this road with you, share what actually helps, cook real food and have some fun on the way. That is the whole idea.

200kg: where it stands today
107kg: gone, without any circus
