Hi, my name is Kevin and I lost 30 pounds in only one month using the
AT weight loss plan. All you do is consume 5000-6000 calories a day
in any form you want. I usually eat a mixture of Little Debbie snacks,
protein bars, and try for one all you can eat buffet a week. Sound too
good to be true? Well it's not, as long as you carry a 35 lb pack 15
- 20 miles a day!

From April 5th to August 5th 2009, I hiked the 2,175 mile Appalachian Trail (AT) with my friend Kevin and his dog Lucy. This blog highlights our adventures for the students of Groton and the rest of the world.

For every mile Mr. DeVoe hikes, he will be donating a penny to the Groton environmental science club, Generation - Z. Kevin will be donating to The Nature Conservancy. If you are interested in helping either cause, please fill out the form below:

Wow, Kevin, what a great sense of humor you have! Make sure you make Mr. Devoe laugh at least twice everyday. How long did it take you to adjust to carrying around that much weight on your back?
Hey, Kevin, you are looking great. It's good you lost those 30 pounds to make up for the 35 lb. back pack you have to carry. Lose 5 more and it will be like not even carrying the pack weight. For whoever has the poison ivy, might want to take a Benedryl occasionally to take it away and keep it away. You guys are doing great - keep on trekking!
hi,Kevin
did mr.deVoe lose those 30 pounds to on hiking trail with you
from,Brenna
I need to lose a bit of weight, and I walk one to two miles a day, but I eat. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I guess I need to walk more and munch a little less!
Good to meet you Kevin. I teach, or can be found yelling a lot, right down the hall from Mr. Devoe.
Hi it is Emmilie O from Mr.D's room.WAZZZZZZZZZZZZZ........up?Our announcement have you in it every day.WOW!You look like you are haveing fun on the trail and he has lost a lot of pouds.Have you to?
Sup Kevin!!!!! It's the totally awesome Emily H. from Mr. D's class!!! Ugh LITTLE DEBIE SNACKS!!!!!!!!!! You can do better than that!! They have like 500 calories in ONE of them!! No offence but you should eat fruit instead. Or even granola bars because cakes and sugar will make you tired and will slow you down!! But polution is even worse. My sister and I pick up the garbage on the side of the road when we take walks. I'm really pumped that you guys use solar power energy! Keep up the awesome work!!!!
See ya!!

Hey It's Jake you lost 30 pounds, that is a lot. Little Debie snacks are so good. Would you get tired of doing that every day, that is a lot of walking. We learned how coal is very bad to the invirment when it burns. Good luck on your guests.
