Oklahoma City has a problem.  According to Men's Fitness magazine, there are only fourteen cities in the entire country that have had more trouble battling the bulge.  There are supposedly 1.5 million adults in this city who are overweight and half a million of those could be classified as obese.  The problem is so bad that Mayor Mick (who has shed quite a few pounds) put the whole city on a diet.  His goal was for the city to collectively lose one million pounds during 2008.  As of today, OKC has rallied together to lose 137,987.

Geesh!  Well, let's see, we're13% of the way to the goal, unfortunately we're 66% finished with the year.  To step it up, several prominent Oklahomans have offered diet plans to get us on the right track.  Check them out after the jump.
