Since I've already lost over 90 pounds this past year, my only resolution for the new year is to maintain that weight loss. Maintenance is almost harder than losing, so it's definitely going to be a challenge.

Before I turned 45 I resolved to lose weight and get in shape. And I managed to actually lose 45 pounds and run 3 miles without stopping. It seemed I had this whole food/exercise thing figured out. But then this past year I lost my trainer (she moved), lost and found new jobs, with all the attendant stress, and had one brother die from prostate cancer and the other brother diagnosed with it. So, the good resolutions and new-found healthy habits fell slowly by the wayside. I have gained back 20 pounds and can only run a mile or mile-and-a-half before stopping. Needless to say, my resolution is to reclaim my successes and to continue onward toward my final goal of healthy, happy weight and body image. Bring on 2010!

I would like to learn to use food as fuel, not as comfort/entertainment/pleasure, etc. and to move my body more.

Sara 12-28-2009 @ 11:53AM

My resolution is to eat more raw and natural foods. I would like this to be 80% of my diet.

I will work hard to drop my access weight by working out 4 times a week and restricting my caloric intake. It's time to get fit!

I have two resolutions this year...
My first is graduate college by this upcoming december with a higher GPA than I currently have.
My second is to remain healthy while I finish up my last year of college, and lose the weight needed to fit back into my size six wedding dress for my wedding in June. I broke my ankle this past semester and gained almost 20 pounds while inactive on crutches, now my dress doesn't fit and its my target to make it happen in a healthy manner before June!

I will cook at home more (and learn some new dishes while I'm at it) as a way to eat healthier, and I will try to read a more varied selection of materials.

Tara 12-28-2009 @ 1:19PM

In 2010 I will stop skipping meals and I will snack if I'm truly hungry.

Sherry 12-28-2009 @ 10:07PM

I want to be the best me I can be in 2010. No more excuses.

Russ 12-28-2009 @ 3:12PM

I want to run a half-marathon in 2010 and maintain the weight loss I saw in 2009

Laura 12-29-2009 @ 1:10AM

My New Year's Resolution is to lose my muffin top and to be in shape and not just dress like I am in shape.
I am motivated to take a fun dance or aerobic class and to eat healthier and to cut WAY bcak on sugary and calorie-laden drinks.

There are 2 important things to know with any healthy eating plan: (1) how to use food wisely and to your best advantage, and (2) how to continue to make things interesting, by learning new recipes and about new foods to please your body and your palate.

Tim 12-29-2009 @ 5:37AM

This year I will be running my first 1/2 marathon with a goal of 10min/mile or better. Every day I jog, run or sprint depending on my training schedule.

Laurie 12-29-2009 @ 7:51AM

To make healthy eating and exercise a habit.

Laura 12-29-2009 @ 12:14PM

I can be healthy and look thin. I sure can do it. I have learned that I can not take responsibilities for the actions of others and still be there for them. Emotional eating is real and we have the capability of stopping it and move forward.

Mildred 12-29-2009 @ 12:02PM

Make progress on my to-do list

Linda Dixon 12-29-2009 @ 12:49PM

My resolution is to get good information on healthy eating and finally lose the extra weight. I get confused by all the info out there "low fat, low carbs, good fat, bad fat, high protein etc. I am having health problems that can be solved by good healthy eating. I am tired of the confusion of what a really good eating plan is.

My husband went on a diet this year and lost considerable weight but was unable to keep from gaining some of it back. At my age it is harder for me to "Diet" than it used to be but I am still aware of the need for weight loss to take some of the stress off of my bones. I am over weight and even though I try to take care of myself, I still can't seem to loose like he does. It's very frustrating!
