This group is dedicated to positive discussion, on weight loss, exercise and health issues. We do NOT allow Flaming of our members.

My name is Steve Vaught, an obese man who walked across America to lose weight and regain my life. I chronicled the entire journey on my website www.thefatmanwalking.com detailing how this is my pilgrimage for salvation. This group is for the discussion of that walk, the members lives and issues, and hopefully to help us all gain a better understanding of our own personal lives.

Obesity in America is an epidemic and I don't want to be a casualty of that epidemic, or my own failures. With the help of friends like those on this group, I stand a better chance of not winding up statistic, and it's my sincere hope that the same support helps all the members of this group in some way.
