Welcome to the Buddy Blog, the online journal for CNN's New You Resolution. Join us here over the next eight weeks as the New You participants discuss their attempts to forge healthier lives.
This year's theme is the "Power of Pairs." The participants include a military couple, two lobbyists and twins. They were chosen from among thousands of entries and will chronicle their New You journeys here on this blog.
I hope the pairs will see some significant improvements. They may also face some struggles. Whatever the case, you can track their progress here on the Buddy Blog and on CNN's
American Morning program from 6-10 a.m. ET. We're doing TV segments with the pairs Monday through Thursday this week and on Tuesdays in the following weeks.
As you read this blog, please feel free to leave comments in the space provided or
send us an email. I know the New You pairs would love to hear from you. Hopefully, this site will be a valuable resource for you and perhaps even an inspiration.
