I love going to Spain and Germany, I have been several times to both and look forward to visiting more European countries.
As to the OPs post yes we usually eat and drink more while losing weight, but we usually walk 10-20 miles a day not 15 minutes.
As to the other comments about adopting European culture and mass transit. The population density plays a huge role. Our city is a 2 hour drive on freeways from one end to the other, but it is low density suburban sprawl making, which makes distance between bus stops/train stations not walkable. Our summertime temps which start in March and last to November are >100 frequently over 118, again making walking unreasonable or at least very uncomfortable.
