Giving up the occasional soft drinks I drank in the previous years, trying for 100% water and fruit juices in 20170

Also, giving up on excuses that prevent me from achieving my fitness goals of jogging far, kicking higher, punching harder and lifting heavier.
No way in hell I'll be giving up my treats like chocolate, cheese puffs, etc. My aim is to NOT be miserable next year.
Am with you
I need to finish what I started

Alcohol at home. I'm going to allow myself the occasional night out of course, but no longer going to drink it just because it's there.1

For me it's giving up excuses for not sticking with my workout routine.

I am totally giving up the rest of my weight to be lost - 22 lbs at the moment. I can do this

I prefer to add things when I'm looking to make a change, rather than cut things out. Mine are:
1. Add a legit strength training routine to my workouts
2. Meal plan and cook at least 2 family dinners a week
3. Get > 6 hours sleep every night

Sometime in the 90s, I made a resolution to give up giving up things for New Year. It's the only one I've stuck to ;-)1

My braces come off in January so im giving up bananas, mouse, porridge, soup and ill be eating crunchy apples, cucumber instead- all the harder food! i cant wait. Ive been trying low carb and i love how its stabilises my blood sugar - so ill be continuing with that in the new year.2

I plan on adding in 20117. I have added myself to a group to help with accountability and extra motivation. I am adding a consistent morning routine of reading, journaling and exercising. I am adding a daily water goal. I am adding 2 days a week of playing basketball. Adding more fruits and veggies to weekly meals. By adding healthier routines and actions, it will take the place of the negative or unhealthy parts of my life leading to overall health changes. Best of luck to you all in 2017.0

allowing negative people in my life...trying to be more positive overall:) (not giving up food!!) LOL0

I'm adding mindfulness (and working on getting rid of mindless eating).1

My resolutions don't tend to revolve around elimination of things.
2016 has been pretty brutal as far as my fitness is concerned...an injury in mid July left me pretty limited through mid September and then I busted up my right foot and ended up on crutches for a time and then walking around like an old geezer with a cane. Basically, the last six months have been very limited fitness wise...now that I'm fully healed I'm looking forward to getting back into things full speed again.
Goal 1: Ride 4,000 miles in 2017
Goal 2: Dedicate myself to actually getting into the weight room 3x per week...I've been pretty steady with 2x per week...time is a bit of an issue here but I think I have a decent game plan while still being able to get in my time in the saddle.
Goal 3: Complete the entire Desert Eagle Time Trial Series this summer (my July injury was during training for this)
Goal 4: Finish the Enchanted Circle Century ride in September (I've yet to do a full century)
Goal 5: 25 miles with my oldest (he will be 7) for Day of the Tread in October...he/we did 12 miles this past October and he had plenty left in the tank.
As elimination goes, I'll probably kick my cigar habit to the curb...2 -

Diabetes also runs in my family, so I'm planning on cutting my sugar intake significantly by limiting to one "small sugar product" a day and one treat a week, instead of my daily dose of five cookies haha0

Having toxic, negative, jealous people as "friends"2

I don't do resolutions, but I can make plans, and I plan to lose as much as possible of my excess poundage
I have 44 pounds to go (and then Ill reevaluate how it went, how I look etc) but I know the last ones are the hardest so I likely wont make it through them all. It would be nice, but I'm not going to set myself up to be depressed over a failure.
I also don't plan on giving up any food except ones I don't like. I basically gave up coffee already, because I finally admitted I don't actually like coffee, I love the (high calorie) creamer that goes in it. No alternatives were acceptable so I drink other hot drinks I do like. Life can be hard enough without deliberately making it harder/more miserable on yourself!1 -
WEEKLY PIZZA.
I love pizza and have been eating it about once a week lately. I always go all out and do 3-4 slices plus ranch which is my whole day's worth of calories. I'm good about planning it in but it means shorting myself before and/or after which sort of feels like I'm making up for it the rest of the week. I think I'll institute a single pizza day each month. That way I can still look forward to it without regretting it for the rest of the month.
Have you tried homemade pizza? You could use your own ingredients and measurements to fit your calorie goal.
Laura Vitale has a great food channel with a lot of pizza recipes:

But don't spend to much time watching the videos or you'll get hungry 0 -

I'm so with you on this!!! I'll eat a 16 inch pan pizza with sliced tomatoes, garlic, sausage and extra cheese just by myself at least twice a month!!
I know you can make it to have fewer calories but it won't taste the same.
I'll need to cut this evil behavior out if I want to achieve my ideal BF.0 -
Negativity and whining (well I'm gonna try.. )

I'm giving up gluten for 30 days then eliminating sugar for 30 days then eliminating soy! My hope is to be gluten, sugar and soy free in 3 month!1

Like CM_73, I'd like to give up failure. Or, probably more accurately, feeling like a failure.1

Alcohol! and about a minute per mile on my run and bike legs!1

I'm going to cut down on refined sugar - eg not in coffee or teas etc. Also wean out red meat. It's hard as my little fam are all carnivores esp hubby. I've apparently got haemachromatosis so I don't need that extra iron (too bad I love my leafy greens!) Tonight we're Nittany to game moroccan beef with green beans and cous cous. I'm going to cook my own sauce but have the same minus beef.0
