Fat Man Walking
Fat Man Walking
Steve Vaught (aka Stephen James Liller) is a 39 year old, happily married father of two. He claims that he has a "pretty good life" in Southern California, but that he can't enjoy it because he has ballooned to 400 pounds.
Vaught has had enough, and had decided to take action. He is walking across the United states from San Diego to NYC to lose weight and regain his life.
Vaught started his journey on April 10th from Oceanside, CA. He has had some setbacks, which you can read about in his journal.
I admit that the website isn't the most professional, but The site seems to have been redesigned in a more professional manner and he supplies weekly updates on his progress. Don't expect him to finish in six months as he estimated early on . . . if he carries out his mission, he'll be walking a whole lot longer than that.
You can check on his progress by clicking on "Journal" at thefatmanwalking.com.

Whether it is courage or desperation, you have to give credit to a man who even thinks of setting such a task as Steve Vaught has set for himself.
We hope that he finds support along the way. Go Steve.

I have found inspiration in your story and share with you the fustrations of all these different diets that allow one thing that the other does not. I too have had no success…only in gaining weight due to the confusion.
If you came through the state of Georiga I can guarantee that you would have a side kick to walk towards freedom. I too have started walking at least 10,000 in 1 hour and 3-5000 beofe I eat.
I pray that God will bless you with the strength you need to succeed. Go Steve Go.
