You know what you need to do to lose weight, so why can't you do it?
Morbidly obese and desperately unhappy, Gregg McBride asked himself this question for years, until something different finally "clicked," and enabled him to embark on a weight-loss journey of 250 pounds that has now lasted ten years and still counting.
Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking in its honesty, Weightless is Gregg's story, but it is much more. It's an exclusive weight-loss plan with menus, recipes, exercises, and motivational techniques. Weightless will move, educate, entertain, and inspire anyone who is ready for change.

09/29/2014After a lifetime of binge eating and morbid obesity, L.A. writer and producer McBride (Just Stop Eating So Much!) began to take responsibility for his own weight, and ceased blaming it on his unhappy childhood. In this funny and candid memoir, McBride reveals without shame the psyche of the fat person who learns to "eat his problems away," beginning as a small child sneaking money out of his Air Force officer father's wallet for afternoon binges of candy. As an army brat, moving around constantly as a child including stints in Singapore and Germany, McBride (along with his younger sister, Lori) became acutely aware of his father's drinking problem, his mother's promiscuity, and the fissures in their marriage. Indeed, his mother enlisted him in her romantic entanglements by making him foil her phone calls, and when he grew embarrassingly fat, passed him off as an adopted son with a health problem. Brazen about lying to other people and stealing money for binge eating ("in the world of junk food, I was safe, warm, and loved"), McBride grew huge, taking on the clown characters in drama productions, learning to surround himself with beautiful people and act "foxy for a fat kid." But the moment of truth had to come, and there were many: when he blossomed to 464 pounds and watched his doctor cry; when a child in the store asked loudly why he had "boobs"; and when the therapist ceased buying his excuses. McBride unrolls an excruciatingly honest tale of becoming thin. (Sept.)
From the Publisher
"Gregg's life has changed so much for the better since losing the weight. And there's a lesson for all of us in his story. I've often said, because of our unique experiences, those struggles with our weight have created a unique bond between us all. We really are kind of like family. I mean, even though each of our stories have different plots, we can see a bit of our own lives in everyone else's weight-loss fight. I'd like to invite you to take a look at Gregg's story, Weightless . Yes, it may have some different twists and turns from your own struggles. But I can guarantee, as you read his story, you're going to see a little bit of your own life in his. Like I said, the plots may be different but we're all truly so very much alike. Just like Gregg, many of you have battled that weight for most of your lives but, believe me, you don't have to. There is a way out. You've just got to do like I once did, like so many of the people I've worked with have done and...like Gregg has done. You've got to stop ignoring the elephant in the room!" Richard Simmons TV Icon and fitness guru “Weightless is a delicious read in every way. In this funny, wise, and emotionally honest book, Gregg McBride offers hope and inspiration to weight-challenged people longing for change and acceptance without sacrificing their true selves.” Catherine Whitney, Coauthor, Eat Right 4 Your Type
“Only Gregg could tell a story that’s this dark with this much humor. He brings hope to the most desperate situations in a refreshing and inspiring way.” Regina King, Actor/Director/Producer
“As someone who has struggled mightily with my weight and feeling “not good enough,” I can proudly say that this book has helped me to find my way again. I’m sure it will do the same for you!” Matt Hoover, Winner, The Biggest Loser
