1) You have to want to lose weight and you alone have to do it. So don’t look to anybody but yourself to make it happen.
2) Exercise is non-negotiable. Move it!
3) You have to balance your eating habit with exercise. Eat less and exercise more!

The "Drill Seargeant's Guide to Weight Loss" is a motivational, hard hitting, no-nonsense, common sense, hilarious weight loss and diet book for anyone overweight that is serious about getting fit and staying fit! Get it on Amazon.

I agree with step 1. However, Step 2 and 3 bother me.

Step 2 bothers me because while exercise is good for cardiovascular and muscle development, it really isn't good for weight loss. Why? When you exercise, you become hungry. This defeats trying to eat less. As well, picking up two new habits at one time is unreasonable. Pick one or the other to go with first. Exercise, or eating well. Don't try to do both at once. It is a recipe for failure, especially for those who really do want to lose weight.
As for drugs.. I would never trust what someone tells me from a site that sells drugs on whether or not the drugs are actually helpful. If you want an opinion, ask a real doctor.

Hi,

One simple guideline for losing weight is to adjust your daily caloric intake to equal ten times your weight in pounds. For instance if you weigh 180 lbs. your total daily food intake should equal 1800 calories. This would create a sufficient deficit in calories for gradual weight loss.

I've never heard of just using your weight like this to estimate your daily calories, but it's not too bad. I think it may not work as well for some people like myself (short and wide) because it doesn't take into consideration height, but all 'n all if someone's looking for simple way to calculate daily calorie needs then this is one place to start. Thanks for the tip.
