I took it upon myself to join a local gym, and over a year's time, lost 30 pounds and lowered my blood sugars...part of my diabetic regimen.

Every year I resolve to be less wasteful throughout the year. It works for me most of the time. No more buy one get one 50% off. I rarely use the second item or forget where I put it. So I guess that's a resolution.

Not really. I always am trying to diet and have good habits. Every year I think: “this could be the best year of my life!”

Because it's the truth. I stopped even making them about 10 years ago.

I don't make resolutions i can't keep. I set goals for myself a little at a time and do my best to reach them, don't usually set very far out. 3-6 months.

I haven't because I don't make them. If doing or not doing something seems imporrtant to me, I don't care if it's New Years or not. I will make a plan on how to do or stop doing something, and make the necessary changes. I haven't kept any New Years Resolutions, but I haven't broken any either.

I don't make them, so I can't break them.

There are too many great choices to settle on just one. Among my faves, "A Child's Christmas in Wales," "A Christmas Story," and "Arthur Christmas" is pretty cute.

Maybe just a dozen or so if you add them all up and include snow boots and water shoes along with the rest.
