Fat Man Walking from Oceanside, CA, to New York City. At 410 pounds and battling depression, he had a long trip ahead of him. From "Steve's Story":

Nuts you say? Well, maybe.

But how nutty is spending a fortune on miracle weight loss drugs or fad diets that never seem to have lasting results or dangerous surgeries that cost about the same as a luxury car?

Living your life without health insurance because you are considered too high risk.

What about the fact that only 3% of weight loss attempts are permanently successful?

What about the anxiety, depression and pain involved in everyday activities when you are fat?

I don’t want to miss out on birthdays, graduation, marriages and grandkids because I chose not to take my life back.

That, to me, is nuts.
Really amazing stuff, as he is only 10 miles from his goal, today.
