Steve Vaught, who’s walking across American in an effort to lose weight, says on his thefatmanwalking.com home page today that he will appear on NBC’s “Today Show” on Wednesday, Jan. 18. There’s no mention of what time slot.

On for his journal, he writes that he’s been dealing with physical problems (that mostly have been fixed with an adjustment to his backpack), illness, erratic weather and state troopers. But he keeps walking.
