What's Your New Year's Resolution?

The new year is a time when we make resolutions to improve our lives. 

People often resolve to eat healthy and hit the gym after the holidays. But for many American families, sheer willpower isn’t enough. These kids and their families face an uphill battle to get healthy.

That’s why this year the team at PreventObesity.net is resolving to re-energize our efforts to build a network of Leaders and Supporters dedicated to reversing childhood obesity by 2015.

Now we want to hear from you. 

How are you resolving to reverse childhood obesity in 2012? Tell us in the box below, and we’ll share our favorites with the PreventObesity.net community.
