New Years Resloutions, or nah?

I feel like it sets you up for failure if you try to go in with a specific goal. I think I'm more into just trying to live healthier and not saying I want to lose so much weight or be on a certain diet/work out routine. That's just me.

Nah. I set goals throughout the year and once met I make new ones. I try not to wait until x time to set them. I just get it done. Just what works for me.

I don't believe, that the problem's resolutions; I believe it's being unrealistic! After all the 2nd sentence in your, paragraph's a specific goal in of itself; regardless of not picking a weight, etc. but it's realistic!

Set a short term goal, achieve it, and you'll have some motivation. Set another and gradually increase that goal as you get more experienced. That's one of the best ways to get committed to a healthy life style. Most people fail because they go all out and pick up diet/ workout plans that they can't stick to

No New Years resolutions, just reflecting on the past year's accomplishments. Looking forward to personal growth and set goals as I go throughout the year.

I have 'every day' resolutions. At my age, after 46 New Years Eves, I've realized the idea of deciding to change things on one day is kind of self defeating.

No to resolutions for me.. I am usually always in the middle of a goal or already have things planned out.. Now I have not always been a pre-planner, years back I was pretty much anti-goal anything...lol

I like them a lot.

I know for some it feels futile. I think people need to do what works best for them.

I feel exactly the opposite.

My thinking is that I'm going to do a better job of achieving something I want if I can see that I'm making progress toward my goal or not. Kind of like how a scale helps for weight loss, because it shows you you're making good (or bad) decisions. Anyway, it's easier to see if you're on the right track with specific goals than vague ones. Plus, it's hard to remember exactly. Am I living healthier than I was a year ago? Well, maybe; that's really open to a lot of interpretation and has fudge room. Did I do a challenging hike? The answer is either "yes" or "no but I'm going next weekend."
