I'm lacing up the sneaks first thing tomorrow morning!

And yes, we need Michael Moore to be healthy. He is a national treasure.

Me and my husband started walking again on the same night as Michael. I didn't know it until later that evening when I checked Twitter and he was talking about it.

It feels good to drop some pounds. Good stress reliever too

Here's a little info:

Flint, MI -- Filmmaker Michael Moore has started a virtual movement on Twitter with his goal to get up and get moving.

The Flint-area native started inviting his followers on Twitter to virtually take a walk with him every evening, wherever they're located.

Five days after he began the daily regimen, Twitter users from all over the world -- including Scotland, Australia and Afghanistan -- have "joined" Moore on his walks, using the Twitter hashtag #MikeTakesAWalk.

@MMFlint: "Ok, everyone - 10 minutes before we head out the door. All u need is a pair of shoes. Thousands of us just going for a walk. #MikeTakesaWalk"

Is there a way to register on twitter anonymously?

is to swear off/ban for life a certain food especially that you tend to overeat.

In high school I banned cookies for life cuz I was hooked on them.
10 years ago I swore off bread and wheat, mostly cuz of gluten trouble but they are empty calories so helped regulate weight.
I more recently have banned cheese because I noticed every time I start eating cheese daily I'd start packing on the pounds. My weight hardly ever varies out of 10 pound range.

He always insists he's not walking to lose weight and maybe he isn't. But it's a great side effect. Happy he's taking care of himself. I'd like the guy to be around for a long time.
