How to Keep Those New Year's Resolutions
It's the beginning of January, and I'm sure many of you have made resolutions to get healthier — some of you are even blogging about them for our Get Fit For 2010 challenge. Whether you want to kick your smoking habit, exercise more, lose weight, or eat more green veggies, here are some tips to help you follow through.

Kickstart has the support of veteran vegan Alicia Silverstone, author of The Kind Diet, and she will be offering tips and advice on eating an entirely plant-based diet.
