I have never made resolutions.
No, I did not. It is too much stress to make sure I follow it.
My resolution is to start my journey to a new career!

My resolution was to make and stick to a budget
Well, that’s another one of my downfalls!
I made a resolution to eat healthy foods I’m trying hard to stick to it.

My resolution is to lead a more active lifestyle! I didn’t wan’t to pin myself to a particular thing like going to the gym or so many steps so just an all around change!

That’s awesome!!!!!
My resolution is to challenge myself more!
demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com
My New Years Resolution is to try not to eat too much sugar products.
My resolution is to eat healthier.
Way to go~
I have a new year’s resolution and that is to read more books!
I love to read, but I just don’t have time to anymore.
I didn’t make any this year. I never keep to them, so it was easier just to not make them.
My new years resolution is to lose 25 pounds.
I “wish” I could do that~
My New Years Resolution is to be more active and make sure to do my exercises.
I needed to make this and to (actually) stick to it.
I stopped making resolutions years ago, since if it was something I really was going to do, I would and didn’t need a resolution to do so.
i dont make new years resolutions never did. i dont see the point in it
I know, but some people just see it as a tradition. My family never really did it. Sometimes I do, but the older I get, the less I do. I never keep them.
I didn’t feel like doing a resolution this year. I never keep them anyway.
I didn’t make a resolution because when I do I never follow through anyways. If I would have made one it would have been to add exercise in to my daily routine.
I’m just trying to eat a little healthier. I gained a lot of weight last year!
I did too Becca, I really did.
My resolution is to Lose 10 pounds.
No, I didn’t make any specific resolutions this year because I always feel pressured by them in a negative way.
I’m trying to work on having more patience, better posture and to stop smoking.
Michael tried to quit smoking, it didnt’ work. It’s such a hard habit to break.
Pray more… more one on one with kids
I made one. But it’s so hard it is to not be so negative about myself
Oh Julie,
I know what you mean. I am the same exact way. Trust me.
I didn’t make a New Years resolution because I never end up sticking with them!
My resolution is to be more active.
I decided to not make any New Year’s Resolutions this year. I felt it would be better to try and be a better person year round, and also be faster about keeping house!
House keeping is my COMPLETE downfall!
i didnt make any because i never seem to keep them
I don’t make any resolutions. That way I don’t have to break them!
I made a resolution to eat better this year.
I made a resolution to try to reconnect with friends I haven’t seen in a long time.
That is a great idea. I have 2 friends that I get together with about once a month. We talk daily by text. We have been friends since grade school.
My new years resolution was to save money and eat healthier!
I just said I would try to eat healthier this year. So far I have really been doing it.
I didn’t make a resolution, because I’m already doing the things that most people make resolutions about. I don’t drink soda, the only times I eat junk food, sweets, sweetened beverages, etc. is on holidays and at parties… we’re trying to get out of debt this year, etc. I’m not going to make a resolution to lose weight (I wear smaller clothes, but the number on the scale always stays the same) because the only way that I could do that would be to eat almost nothing, and that would probably just mess up my metabolism and make everything worse. So I decided a while back just to live as healthily as I can and not worry about the number on the scale. I hope to one day walk into a doctor’s office wearing size 0 clothes and then have the doctor tell me that I need to lose weight because I’m morbidly obese.
Sounds like you have it all together.
I did. I’m going to try to make sure I don’t break my New Year’s resolution. Putting aside money for a big purchase
I did not make a New Years Resolution because I never keep them.
I don’t make New Years resolutions because I don’t see the point in waiting for the new year to get things done. Thank you for the chance to win!
I did not set a new years resolution because I am already making the changes I want in my life
I plan on staying active and loosing my last 10 pounds. Thank you
Yes it is a strange one. It is to get rid of all of my unread emails. I do have to go through to make sure there are pics etc. I have over 33,000 & probably get between 200 & 300 a day. So I am also unsubscribing from several.
Oh Shelley! That sounds like something I get myself into. Good luck girl. I’ve been there.
I really need to exercise more often this year!
Started early, it was to drink more infused water!
my resolutions are to read and walk more.
I am also going to explore some new recipes.
I plan to be more organized and not waste so much time on the internet.
Instead of resolutions, I set intentions!
I don’t make resolutions, they are just silly to me. I do, however, always promise myself to try and live a better year than the one previous.
My New Year resolution is to quit smoking.
I plan on trying to lose more weight this year.
To get outside the house more!
I made a resolution to get my house in order, because, when I was going 24/7 taking care of my mother, everything in my house was neglected. I’ve started chipping away at this particular iceberg.
I did make one and that is to spend more quality time with my kiddo’s! I vowed to put down my devices more often and read, play games, and just talk to my children more, who are growing up way too fast! I don’t want to miss any of it!
Time does pass by so quickly. Faster than we think.
No i did’nt.
My resolution is to continue on my weight loss journey.
No I did not make a new years resolution. I am not great at sticking to anything.
I never make resolutions anymore. Instead, I’m trying to simply be more mindful of things I need to work on more often. I did order some vitamins that I had ran out of months ago. So that’s one thing I’m working on a little every day; taking better care of myself.
My New Years Resolution is to exercise more.
My resolution this year is to get to a healthy weight so that I am ready for a healthy pregnancy.
Awesome~
I have a New Years Resolution. I want to read the whole bible again.
I didn’t because I usually make adjustments like that as the year progresses and whenever I think about htem.
i made a resolution to simply live a more positive life and to start following my goals in life!
My new year resolution is to move in my house and get married.
Mine is to keep making goals, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I’ll sleep before 11:30, eat dinner before 7:30.
mine is to lose some weight and eat healthier
My only resolution is to save more money for my children’s futures.
I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions

I’m a Coke Fiend so mine is to drink more Water! So Far So Good ?
Oh my! I can’t do without my Moutain Dew!
My resolution was to be good to myself, because I’m always making sure everyone else things get done I forget about me. So this year I’m taking time out for me.
I don’t make resolutions. It wasn’t something that was done in my family when I was a kid and I never got into the habit.
I made a resolution to eat healthier and get my diabetes under control. It’s going okay so far
My resolution was to continue exercising.
My resolution was to make small steps to eat healthier! Glad I found your blog 🙂
I DID NOT MAKE ANY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS THIS YEAR, BECAUSE WHEN I MAKE THEM I SET MYSELF UP FOR FAILURE. I AM TAKING ONE DAY AT A TIME, SO I HAVE A REAL CHANCE OF ATAINING MY GOALS!
My resolution is No fast food…. as type this my husband walks in with McDonald’s…. ugh.
Fast food is my down fall.
I made a resolution to lose weight. So far blah.
Sounds like me 🙂
Nope no resolutions for me. I would just break them two weeks in and then feel bad about it. 🙂
I exercise and eat very healthy all year long anyway and that’s usually the resolutions make so I’m good.
But I need to read more so I’ll try that.
Resolution was to exercise more often.
I didn’t make one because I never seem to keep them
I make my resolutions on my birthday instead. It’s my own private tradition that marks my own “new” year. And I find it’s less pressure that way and makes it a little easier to succeed.
No, I didn’t make a resolution because I usually don’t stick with it.
try and manage my depression
Karen,
I have severe depression and anxiety and it worsened after my first husband (Gracie’s Dad) passed away. I have the hardest time with it. I see a psychiatrist for it and take some meds.
Yes, my resolution is to eat less junk food.
No I didn’t. I prefer to just let the new year happen and see where it takes me.
We sort of did. We want to do our best to buy a house this year. It will take a lot of work and buckling down but we want to do it. Thank you!
My resolution was to lose weight. I am tired of being the weight that I am, and have been successfully dieting since then. Currently lost 4.7lbs since Jan 1st! Haven’t stopped, and don’t plan on giving up!
I am so proud of you!
I said I would lose 10 pounds and I have lost half so far
Wow Kenneth! That is awesome 🙂
Like so many, I resolved to get more active and lose some weight.
I stopped making resolutions years ago.

I didn’t make one- too much pressure 😉
I totally understand. It is pressure. That’s the word that best describes it!
I didn’t make a resolution because I tend not to keep them.
I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions because I never seem to keep them. I have a couple of things I would like to make habits that I am slowly working on but not stressing if I don’t keep up with them.

To eat healthier.

My new years resolution is to save as much as I can to go back to school!
I didn’t.. I don’t because they aren’t realistic.
No New Year’s resolution made. Just another ordinary day. Try to be the best I can be regardless of the day.
My new year’s resolution is as usual to loose weight and get healthy
I tried this and tried this and I finally gave up.
I think this was the first year I didn’t. I just grove up and realized that what you want will come true if you work for it not wish for it. Sounds bitter but it’s true.
Yes, to be more active. I need to exercise more so I am trying.
Try to avoid unrealistic targets, but do try to improve constantly
I don’t really make resolutions, as I usually find them counterproductive. This year, however, I want to do more cooking from scratch.
I want to engage in more creative pursuits and read more.
I didn’t make a resolution because I never keep them anyway.
I want to save money this year, I have never had a savings account and would like to put money towards one.
I did not make one – I used to but I felt like it was pointless. If I want to make a change, I’ll make a change!
I did not make a resolution this year, because I don’t seem to keep them.
No I didn’t, I try to make progress all year around
I di dnot but I did make a bucket list
That’s great Kathy!
No I really didn’t…I make a resolution and it never gets accomplished anyway.
eat less junk food and so far so good
I could say I did and I didn’t. Every year I pledge to be healthier and exercise more. Every year it fades quickly.
I will be adding minutes to my daily walking.
My resolution is sort of a simple one. It is to walk 10,000 steps a day! So far, I have kept it up for 2 weeks!
I couldn’t keep it. I could type it, but not walk it, lol
I am trying my best to cut down on caffeine and sugar. So far so good!
I can’t lose my diet mountain dew!
No I did not make on because I usually don’t follow through with it.
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. For me the new year is just another day. I see resolutions as kind of pointless. If I want to make a change, I can do it at any time.

yes i did to lose some weight
My resolution is to eat healthy this year.
I didnt make one I will when I am ready

Never make them because we never keep them.
My resolution this year is to travel more. I already booked a trip in March to Italy with my mom.
i made a resolution to stop smoking as same as last year.
I unofficially decided I was going to get more active.
I made a new years resolution to take myself out of my comfort zone more often and to expand my social circle here since we moved here in the fall.
I never make resolutions because I never keep them
The same resolution I make every year: to conquer the world!
Richard, you are something! Count me in with you 🙂
I didn’t make any resolutions and never really have. I prefer to just make goals and work on them as needed and when necessary.
I plan to exercise more regularly.
My resolution this year was to change the way our family eats… I want to reduce processed foods and add more raw foods to our diet (think veggies and fruits) also I wanted to give myself the challenge of being a better cook and cooking more for myfamily
I didn’t really make a Resolution, but I do know that I should think more before I speak!
Yes, my new year’s resolution is to get more organized. I’m going to start with getting all my photos in photo albums
No, I never do.
I want to loose some weight and start walking more also.
Oh June! I do too!
As I wish every year is that I can be a better person than I was last year.
Anita,
I’m sure you are a great person, but that is a super resolution to make. I’m sure there is some way we can all improve ourself.
My resolution is to reduce my sugar intake. I have been struggling with my goal.
Sometimes, I think I could live on sugar. It’s my downfall.
No I do not make resolutions. I try to just live a good life and help others.
To stress less and be more active
I do make New Year’s resolutions. My resolutions this year are to exercise five days per week and to eat healthier!

Good job Shelly!
Mine is to start being more active instead of sitting down all the time
I did not make a New Years Resolution, why, because I do not do very well at keeping them.
I am decluttering the whole house.
No I didn’t make a resolution because I never keep them.
I have made a New Year’s Resolution. It revolves more around my state of mind than an accomplishment. I hope to find peace this year within my own mind.
No, I didn’t make a New Year’s resolution. I typically don’t each year just because I never keep it!
I don’t make resolutions because I will set goals for myself throughout the year as the need emerges.
My resolution is to be more productive with my time!
Exercise more.
Yes, to eat healthier.
My resolution is to declutter on a big scale – I have too many things and want to rid myself of many items I don’t or no longer need. I also made it my goal to donate most of it.
I’m trying to declutter but it’s going slowly lol
I didn’t, I prefer to live my life without putting restrictions or demands on it.
I usually make resolutions but this year I haven’t made any.
To blog more! LOL. I usually don’t make them, since I never follow them. 🙂
I have decided I am going back to walking 5 miles a day. Its -10 today, put just as soon as it warms up I am back to walking.
I need to walk. I’d love to lose some weight.
Yes to stop spending money on useless stuff.
I do not make resolutions as I feel that if you want or need to make changes you should just do it when you know the need.
No I didn’t make a New Years resolution because I don’t stick with it for very long.
Me either!
No reresolutions this year for me
No,I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions this year because I know I might not stick to it because I like to follow through all the way when I set my mind to something and I don’t need a formal resolution to do that.
No, I didnt make any resolutions this year.
I really want to take off anywhere between 10-15 pounds by June 1. I struggle a lot with weight and I think it’s a reasonable goal that I should be able to achieve if I do my best and work on it. 🙂
No, because it’s a work in progress all year round – I know what it is that I have to keep up with, to try to avoid, and all that all the time. 🙂
i didnt. b/c when i decided im going to “stop eating all sweets forever” it gets so much worse. i guess my resolve was to do many little changes. 🙂
I didn’t either. I just break them
