A report by Laura A. McLay of VCU, concludes that Americans now pump 938 million gallons of fuel more on a yearly basis than they were in 1960 because of their increasing weight.

Over 10 years ago, I was borderline obese. I started a low-fat diet and a vigorous exercise routine. Within 4 months, I dropped 30 lbs. One day I was at a supermarket to buy a Thanksgiving turkey. I picked up 2 15-pound turkeys, one in each hand. I wanted to feel what it was like to carry 30 extra pounds. I could barely move. I felt the huge relief once I put them down.

The idea of lugging that much weight around all the time seems so daunting. The sharp contrast between the instant gratification of losing 30 lbs to the instant pain of gaining 30 lbs has since become my main motivation in sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Here is how the Turkey Walk may motivate you.
