PHILADELPHIA - The best way to stay on track with your new year's resolutions is to have external support. It is not unusual for us to fall off track at least 14 times during our first week. Having a solid network of family and friends will keep you accountable for your resolutions and help you succeed. In addition to this, you can also ask your loved ones to check up on you. By sharing your goals with these people, they will feel obligated to be truthful with you.
