Each year on December 31st, we resolve to do something differently in the year ahead. And since some of us seem to be making the same resolutions over and over again, it seems we're not following through with these end-of-year promises. Or are we? I asked you that recently and here's what you had to say:

• 53 percent of you followed through with last year's resolution -- and stuck to it! Good for you.
  
• 19 percent of you followed through with it, but weren't able to keep it up. Bummer.
• 6 percent of you tried your darnedest but couldn't do it -- it was more difficult than you thought.
  

Kudos to readers jjj and Andy -- they resolved to lose weight and were successful. Keep up the good work, guys!

Ah, the new year -- 'Tis the season to make promises to yourself that you probably won't keep. Oh well, at least you're not the only one. Family, friends and even celebrities are all making resolutions. AOL Television recently got the scoop on what TV's hottest stars are resolving to do or not to do in the new year. Here are some tidbits:

• Jaime Pressley: "I say your resolution should be to do whatever it takes to make yourself happy. If you're happy and feel healthy and good about yourself, everyone around you will feel it, especially your children. You are what you project."

Welcome to the last day of 2008. Is it just me or did this year whiz by at lightening speed? Besides breaking out a new calendar, you know what December 31st means -- breaking out some new resolutions. Last week, I was wondering what your healthy resolutions for 2009 will be, and here's what you had to say:

• 29 percent of you want to lose weight. We've heard this one before.
  
• 25 percent want to get in shape.
• 18 percent want to adopt more healthy habits in general.
• 6 percent want to take more time for themselves.
• And 13 percent say "All of the above!"
  

Whatever your resolution may be, do what you can to ensure that it doesn't wind up on your list next year, OK?

Well, it's just around the corner: 2008. I can hardly believe it -- seems like just yesterday we were ringing in 2007 -- or 2001 for that matter. Where does the time go?

This year, I bet many of you are making New Years resolutions, and I bet the majority of them are health and wellness-related. Myself, I'm resolving to take up more outdoor activities and eat more locally-grown foods. I'd also like to pursue more personal writing and photography.

It's that time! Tomorrow is the beginning of a new year, a clean slate, a new start. What's your resolution this year? You might have more than just 1 goal for 2008, but I bet there's something to do with weight loss, nutrition, or overall health in there somewhere. And since it's no secret that the majority of New Years resolutions fall by the wayside well before February, it's probably a good idea to go into the whole thing with a serious plan on how you're not going to let your new goals be among the casualties. So with success in mind, here are 10 tips for improving your odds at sticking to your New Years Resolution:

• Play to your strengths Meaning have healthy alternatives available if you're an evening snacker, or if you're a social eater try to plan non-eating activities with friends.
