Steve Vaught of thefatmanwalking.com departed Route 66 after walking through the St. Louis area and now is strolling on U.S. 40 in central Illinois. He’s dealt with bad weather, a close shave with a concrete truck, and a gentleman who recently was released from a psychiatric hospital.
He’s at 320 pounds, which is about 80 fewer than when he started his trek, and he’s optimistic about losing more weight because his eating habits have improved and he’s sticking with it. You can read about his latest adventures here on the Jan. 5 entry.
