Fat Man Goes Gump. Steve Vaught, a 39-year-old former marine, had put on a few pounds over the years. Hey but at 410 pounds it was nothing an x-jarhead couldn't fix with a little walk, right? So Steve decided to pull a Gump and walk from San Diego to New York City. He's in Ohio now with his weight down to 296! 2300 miles down, only 600 to go. We're with you Steve! Link to story. Gotta love his URL: www.thefatmanwalking.com. Some more pics here. 3-22-2006. Add CommentPermalink
