How's the old New Year's resolution going? About as good as last year's? Yeah, I kinda figured. It seems to happen every year, huh? You go into January with nothing but the best intentions but things just don't go as planned. Last week, I asked you what is keeping you from following through -- here are your top answers:

  • 20 percent of you feel addicted to your bad habits -- it's just too difficult to give them up.
  • 18 percent of you just aren't motivated enough.
  • 18 percent of you just like your bad habits too much to give them up.
  • 11 percent of you don't change out of habit
  • 11 percent of you think the people around you aren't helping one bit.

Enough with the excuses -- life's too short to be unhealthy and unhappy. But there's a silver lining to this -- 14% of you said there was nothing keeping you from getting healthy -- it's your year to change. Good for you!
