The Got Your 6 campaign is a Hollywood-backed veteran campaign that just launched American Icons at an even in NYC last night — and the celebs were OUT for it!

Got Your 6 is designed to show that veterans and military families should be seen as civic assets and leaders who will reinvigorate our communities.

The event was hosted by Tracy Morgan, and Sheryl Crow even performed! Celebrities Alison Sweeney, Camila Alves, Marcus Samuelsson and others also showed up to support the cause!

Sounds fab — more pics (below)!

Alison Sweeney has now been on the cover of Shape magazine TWICE!

To her, that's a very important thing — it's a marker to her that she has changed her life and is now living it in a healthy way, instead of just playing around in a healthier lifestyle temporarily!

If you watch the video (above), which shows a lot of b-roll of her INCREDIBLE body, you'll hear her talk about what it was like to make the decision to change her life and how important being able to do things like triathlons are to her!

So freakin' fab!

That's not all, either — we've got her cover, pics, article, AND workout synopsis for you guys (below)!!

Looking amazing, Alison! We're so proud of you!!

Alison Sweeney is looking good these days!

The Biggest Loser host is covering Fitness' January issue, and since she trimmed down from a size 12 to a tiny size 4, she wants to share her workout strategies with YOU!!

In her interview with the mag, Sweeney talks about working out, her body and her weight.

Here are the HIGHlights:

As the host of Biggest Loser, Alison Sweeney knows a thing or two about eating healthy!

So of course she'd be the perfect choice to help kick off the Green Giant "One Giant Pledge" event in NYC!

One Giant Pledge is an initiative to try and get families to eat more veggies!

We know Alison Sweeney pretty well around these parts!

She's the host of The Biggest Loser, and has twice battled the dreaded extra baby weight!

Oh, and she ran the LA Marathon, and is heading to the Malibu Triathlon — so she know's what's up when it come to fitness.

In other words, we trust her when she says things like this:

"Each time you make a healthy choice, it's easier to make the next one. [It's about] being the best you you can be today."

Absolutely!

And if you have thirty todays, Alison says you can make over you body:

Picking a big event to train for can be a great way to fire up your workout routine. I know doing the LA Marathon this past spring got me really focused on running and finishing the race was amazing. It was definitely a bucket list achievement. My next big race is the 2012 Nautica Malibu Triathlon in September. I've been working with my trainer and getting advice from accomplished triathlon participants and here are a few tips to keep in mind when training for something like this:

1. When you have a busy schedule like I do, you have to make training sessions a priority. You can't just plan for occasional killer, over-the-top workouts and let it go the rest of the time. Consistency is key.

2. If you are ultra-competitive like I am, you might be tempted to push yourself to the max and beyond during every training session. Don't do it! This is a marathon, not a sprint (ha), and you have to give yourself time to build up strength and endurance. And, you don't want to get injured - then there's no way you'll make it to the finish line.

3. Stay hydrated. I'm not great about carrying water while I run (I do carry it on my bike, though) so I drink a lot of water before and after and on longer runs, I try to have someone meet me on my route with water.

4. Train by racing. One great thing to do is compete in shorter events as part of your training regimen. It's fantastic mental preparation and there are water stops so you don't even have to carry water! I ran a half marathon in Pasadena with my brother as part of my marathon training and it was one of my favorite runs. A spring triathlon is also a great warm up.

5. Set reasonable expectations. Of course you want to be the best at everything you do, but if you're working your training time in with the rest of your hectic life, be realistic about what you do - aim high of course but not out of reach.
