Some of the oldest resolutions, losing weight and smoking, are being accomplished in new ways

First Free Will Baptist Church hosts a weight loss program called “Lighted Your Load” that teaches nutrition with a Christian twist.  They incorporate healthy eating lessons with fitness advice and biblical scripture.

Dawn Ditty says she’s lost 75 pounds with the program and has maintained her new weight because it’s a Christ centered lifestyle change.  Ditty has since brought the program to her own church to help others fighting the weight war.

The American Cancer Society also has new online programs and a 24 hour smoker’s hotline which has boomed in popularity this year to assist people in kicking the smoking habit.
