whats YOUR new years resolution. (more than just a # on the scale)

this year i want not only to drop 5-10lbs, but i want to be able to wake up and look in the mirror and smile. not just look at myself and think " my thighs are too big" or "these pants make me look fat". i want to wear jeans and be comfortable and happy.

thats my goal, whats yours ?

ps ive enjoyed reading everyones :) goodluck to you all!!

really learn to ride my tennessee walker in his running walk!

To focus on a happy healthier me. To excercise on a regular basis, and to never give up!

to try not to be the "grumpy" person at my work.

get along with co-workers, and boss..

And enjoy more time with my kids... I love them.

To love myself for who I am. I have to stop freaking out because of numbers, mirror reflections and clothing sizes.

My New Year's resolutions are:

obviously, to work out more, as everyone else is probably resolving to do,

to take better care of my teeth by flossing and rinsing more,

to read to my son every day, and

to drink more water.

To finally get to my goal weight

To make my workouts count

To work on me...

To stop worrying about finding a guy...I am only 19..almost 20, I don't need to worry about it, I am beautiful, healthy, funny, smart, nice, an all around great catch, I will find my "prince charming" when the time is right, now I just need to focus on having fun!

To spend more time with friends

To do something fun everyday

To Laugh more

To go for what I want!

To flirt more

To talk to more guys

To do something out of my comfort zone everyday!

• Finally start learning a martial art
• Do just a bit better in school
• Stop punishing myself all the time
• Get into my school's literary magazine
• Work out >3x a week
• Break off some bad frienships
  

This year I want to start on an eating program that will not only be healthy, but will also allow me to lose the weight I need to lose. I am tired of being tired and am looking forward to having more energy.

I've posted mine in my journal -- but I think some are almost universal.... lose weight, exercise more, be a better person... 

I vow to stop eating my emotions: being lonely, sad, depressed are normal feelings what's not normal is to beat myself up more by being unhealthy and eating for comfort. Binging not only makes me feel more depressed but the weight gain that follows hangs around a lot longer than my momentary feelings of sadness.

No more!

I just want to be healthy and happy. Which means changing both inside and out, taking more chances and living life the way I want to.

My resolution is to establish better habits. This includes: eating more veggies, drinking more water, exercising at least some daily (sex counts!), bring less work home, set aside time weekly to organize my stuff, reading more, and finally keeping in better touch with friends and family.

This year I just want to be healthy and happy, too. I want to better my mental health as well as physical and learn some better habits. Hopefully, I'll also gain some new friends and maintain those friendships in the process as well.

mine is to look and feel comfortable in a bikini. i usually wear the top..but fold my arms so my stomach is covered and i wear shorts cuz i hate my legs..but this year i plan on working out a whole lot and finally shedding the shorts!

Stop eating chocolate. It's bad for my singing voice.

• continue and finish the New Rules of Lifting for Women program
• wear nicer clothes to work so that I continue to be motivated to lose weight (I find nice new smaller clothes incredibly motivating)
• spend more time cooking yummy healthy foods - and get a microwave for my office so I can bring "bagged lunches" more often (I'm not really a sandwich person - and there's way better sandwiches available to buy on campus than I can make at home anyway)
• eat at least five servings of fruit and veggies every day (and have most of them be veggies - I'm good with fruit, but it usually takes a salad for me to hit the veggie mark)
• get enough calcium and iron every day - ideally from diet, but I do take a multivit if my Analysis shows either of these two nutrients low for the day
• get down into the 140s by my birthday (early Feb; only 1-2 pounds to go)
• get down into the 130s by the end of the semester (late April; this is my preliminary weight loss goal)

I've made several this year, most that are actually measurable:

 - Eat out less than 100 times this year

 - Save $3,500

 - Pay off $4,000 of cc debt

 - Lose 2+ lbs a week

 - Join a club / take a class

 - Actually go to the gym that I'm paying $10 a month for

My "mantra" for the year is 210 by 2010, even though that's a bigger goal than just 2 lbs a week, since I'm starting out at 350. But if I don't say it out loud, then it will definitely never happen!

Save $5,000.

Run my first full marathon.

Keep my house cleaner/more organised.

Stop letting good foods go bad in my fridge.

Drop 10kgs.

Graduate with better results than I have now.

Get into the Masters program of my choice.

Get a job that pays well and treats me well.

Eat healthy, and I mean REALLY healthy, I'm turning 24 this year, I'd better start!

Moisturize my dry scaly skin daily and frequently.

Start saving money once I get a job.

Great post!  I have quite a list, and of course several of them involve eating well and working out, but the more interesting ones are:

- Travel somewhere for at least a week

- Give up plastic bags

- Read at least 2 books a month

- Apply to graduate school
