Seriously, how did we miss the news that Houston and New York City are competing in the America Takes it Off weight-loss contest? This is huge! (No pun intended.) ATIO is a joint venture of AOL, Good Morning America and eDiets, and it's being billed as the largest online fitness program ever — though we don't know how much of a distinction that really is.
