Time for a checkup!
Welcome back to the New You Resolution.

You'll remember our three couples, who were hoping to get healthy and counting on the "power of pairs" keeping them on track.

The lobbyists: When Donna Watts-Brighthaupt enrolled in the New You Resolution, she enlisted her boss, Frank Purcell, too. Working long hours together meant they knew the others unhealthy vices: a love for fine foods and unhealthy treats and in Donna's case, smoking

The military couple: our husband and wife team from the National Guard in Wyoming, Denise and Pedro Rampolla didn't want to lose weight. But they did want to be healthier and bring some order in what Denise calls "organized chaos" for themselves and their four kids.

The twins: Mark and Stuart Rasch may live in different cities and have different jobs, but they had the same health issues. A little too much weight, high cholesterol and blood pressure and a penchant for not-so healthy food.

When we left them after their eight-week program back in March, each pair was successful in reaching their goals.

Now it's time for their six-month checkup. Did they keep their new, healthier habits or did they have some setbacks?

Joins us and find out how their doing.

All week long we'll catch up with each couple and we'll show you how they're doing now.

You can also hear from them here in this space, directly from their own blogs. And you can tell us and them, what you think about their progress. Did they inspire you to start you own "New You Resolution?"

Let us know what you think, we want to hear your comments.

Boot Camp in the rain? That's some serious dedication, way to go Mark. Stay focused and don't do too much too soon.
