Since last March, Michael Moore (yes, that one) has been walking 30 minutes a day and had people all over the world "walking with him" via #IWalkWithMike on Twitter.

He finally "came clean" about the reason for doing it ... and it originally started just from a comment someone made to him on Twitter.

Read what he wrote (you don't need to be a facebook member to see link) ... it almost goes hand in hand with your OP.

PS: Not included in the blog entry, but he mentioned it elsewhere is that during this time, when he stopped dieting and "thinking about" his weight ... and going for the walks ... he lost 60 pounds.
