When Kelly Preston gave birth to her son Benjamin Travolta a year ago, she knew losing the baby weight wouldn’t be easy.

“When I got pregnant at 48, I didn’t know if my body would bounce back,” the actress tells PEOPLE.

Turns out, Preston had no need to worry. Not only did she shed the baby weight, but over the past year she’s dipped below her pre-pregnancy weight – and is relishing a new figure and renewed vitality as she approaches the mid-century mark.

“I lost 39 lbs., have more energy than I had 20 years ago – and I feel amazing,” Preston says. “I’m going to be turning 50 next year – holy s–––! Hey, 50 is the new 30.”

So besides tennis and keeping up with an active baby, what’s her secret? The Organic Liaison weight-loss program created by Preston and John Travolta’s close friend Kirstie Alley, who cleared her own hurdle this summer when she dropped 100 lbs.

“I was so excited when my best friend created Rescue Me,” says Preston of the diet plan’s organic supplement system that targets cravings and “boosts natural energy,” according to the Organic Liaison website.

“It’s pretty much the most genius thing ever,” says Preston, who recently signed on as the weight-loss system’s spokesperson.

But a rocking a new body is not the only cause for joy in the Travolta household.

“We just celebrated Ben’s first birthday,” she says. “I can’t believe it’s already been a year.”

I’ve always been a big supporter of health and organics. The two go hand-in-hand for me. When it comes to keeping in shape, I’m the first to take up the most natural route: eating well (organic) and staying active.

When I got pregnant at 48, I knew it would take some work to get my body back in shape. I started drinking Rescue Me (USDA certified organic weight loss product), created by my best friend for her weight loss program, Organic Liaison. In short, it’s amazing on your appetite and your energy level. I’ve lost 39 pounds. I have more energy than I had 20 years ago and I feel incredible.

I love Rescue Me and the Organic Liaison program for promoting an organic lifestyle – and for helping me bounce back.

Here are a couple articles on the subject:

Earlier this month, I was in Hawaii and met with some amazing heroes.

It was an honor to meet with Gen. Gary North, the Commander of the Pacific Air Force and Chief Master Sergeant Brooke McLean, along with honored Airmen of the Quarter and members of the Hawaii Air National Guard at Hickam Air Force Base.

I was so moved to meet Airmen and women who shared their jobs and lives with me. I was also glad to share with them our efforts to support the Hero’s Health Fund that benefits those who suffer from toxic exposure.

The Hawaii Air National Guard proudly showed me through one of their C-17 Globemaster’s, which they used to bring aid to earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan and have also used on many other humanitarian missions. I was deeply impressed with their service and commitment and was honored to have been invited to share the day with the General and his Airmen in the Courtyard of Heros, especially on the eve of the 70th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor. This is an extraordinary day to remember and I feel honored to have shared it with them.

I am on the cover of Health Magazine – September Issue. It’s the “Yes You Can” issue. On newsstands now. There are some fun photos with Ben. Pick up a copy… I hope you enjoy it.

I just came across this… It’s really powerful. A friend told me to “DROP EVERYTHING AND WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW!   SERIOUSLY”…I’m glad I did.

Travolta, honored by the Heroes Health Fund, a national charity overseeing the rehabilitation of first responders, firefighters, police officers and military personnel, shared his concern over America’s heroes and the health challenges they face. “After September 11, I observed the ill effects of the chemicals the firefighters, police and EMTs were exposed to.”

“Then I got to do this movie called ‘Ladder 49,’ and with my own eyes I got to see all the friends I made, who trained me in the movie, that they were suffering from ailments,” Travolta revealed.

Through the Heroes Health Fund, first responders can be treated using a therapeutic detoxification regimen consisting largely of exercise, time in a sauna and a diet of antioxidants. “It’s not easy. It’s a lot of vitamins, a lot of oils, a lot of sweating, but you know, the product is health,” the actor explained.

In June we traveled to Paris for a little family summer vacation.

I recently completed the film Casino Jack, directed by George Hickenlooper, starring alongside Kevin Spacey, Barry Pepper and Jon Lovitz. The film is about a hot shot Washington DC lobbyist, Jack Abramoff (Kevin Spacey) and his protégé, Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper) who go down hard as their schemes to peddle influence lead to corruption and murder. I play Pam Abramoff in this dramatic comedy. Now available on DVD.

John and Kelly at the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund Event, June 12 2010 - Johannesburg

I just returned from an incredible trip with my family to Argentina, Rio de Janeiro, and South Africa! It was a wonderful trip!

South Africa truly is one of my favorite places to visit. One of the highlights was attending an event for The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund in South Africa – to help raise awareness of their needs.

To learn more about this great organization, check out their website at: www.nelsonmandelachildrensfund.com

I loved Rio and Argentina! The people were very warm and friendly, the sights were gorgeous, and both had wonderful foods and great shopping!

Disney’s “The Last Song” was released on March 31st. I hope that you all had a chance to go out and see this wonderful movie. It was so much fun working with Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear, and all of the rest of the talented cast! Now available on DVD.

We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences. Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives. We have received many messages of condolence from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us hope for a brighter future.

With love, John, Kelly and Ella

The enormous amount of love, support and condolence we have received from this community has been most humbling. Comforting words, thoughts and prayers of Ocala’s citizens have made an impossibly painful situation, a little less painful.

The actions of Ocala’s community leaders, its law enforcement professionals, our neighbors at Jumbolair and its surrounding communities have offered us the dignity to grieve the loss of our son and Ella’s brother in peace. For this we will always be grateful.

From the people who drove hours to drop off cards and flowers at our doorstep, to the service providers who made Jett’s ceremony so beautiful, thank you. Every person who we have encountered has offered to do anything in their power to help us, but add that they feel powerless to do so. We want all of you to know that you have already helped us. By sharing our grief, you lessen our burden. For all of the people who have kept Jett in their prayers, know that those prayers have given us inspiration and strength. What we have experienced in Ocala transcends neighborly civility. We have been treated as family. Although we lost a good part of the joy and radiance of our family, your embracing us as a member of your own has helped us to contend with our loss. In parting, we want all of you to cherish your loved ones and your friends like there was no tomorrow, to live your lives to the fullest by continuing to help one another, and to be true to yourselves.

Love, John, Kelly and Ella

We have always believed that a person’s true character reveals itself in the most difficult situations. For us, the loss of Jett on the morning of January 2 was the most difficult situation we could envision. The character, love and true friendship of the Bahamian people became immediately apparent during our time of crisis. From the Prime Minister and the former Prime Minister, who immediately expressed the condolence of the Bahamian people, to the management staff and employees of Old Bahama Bay who fiercely protected us from further hurt, at a real cost to themselves. From the police and medical professionals in charge of the official investigation who executed their responsibilities in a private and dignified manner, to the EMTs, Rand Memorial Hospital personnel and coroner whose pain was as evident as our own.

Of special note was the assistance of Keith McSweeney and his associate of the Restview Memorial Mortuary and Crematorium. The grace and accommodation extended by these gentlemen at this most difficult time will always be appreciated. All actions taken by both men were at our direction and pursuant to our express request.

The love, sympathy and protection as a member of your family, which was extended to us during this most trying of times, will never be forgotten.

We remain as one, with the people of the great island nation of the Bahamas.

Thank You.

Love, John, Kelly and Ella
