Unfortunately, you're right, it won't. The fact that a bunch of the resolutioners will filter out by February sucks, because it means that as a people we still haven't mastered the whole "hey let's actually stick to something that will keep us healthy for life" thing and will go to the next quick fad that jumps our way.

What I noticed at my gym is that they try to go too hard the first few days, I overhear them talking about cutting their calories way too low and exercise them too much and they get burnt out. It sucks that so many people go in blind and when they don't have the results they want, they quit. I was lucky enough to have MFP. That's right, all of MFP's big bullies helped me in the long term. Thanks bullies!

Thankfully I work out at 1 or 2 pm. Gym noobs don't come in the early afternoon.

YEP...and a lot of new MFP members....only the strong will survive.

And thank god I have a bench, weights, etc. in my basement and run outside.

I hope a lot of them decide to stick around and educate themselves and make this a lifestyle choice.

This.... meanwhile back the eff off my squat rack!!!

I don't mind the January newbies. I do wish more of them stuck around and really committed. The ones that drive me insane are all the cubs in September who try and show off way too much.

And those of you hoping they fail are terrible, terrible people.

ditto. it's only a stupid resolution if it doesn't get done.

They've already started to show up at my gym. I'm indifferent, unless I can't get a treadmill.

Completely agree with this. Everyone used/uses something different as a trigger or starting off point. I'm not about to judge those who use a date on the calendar. I can only wish them the best--I know how much happier I am when I'm healthy and fit, and can only hope others achieve that too.

I find that the biggest reason people don't stick to being healthy is that this wasn't the goal in the first place. Too many people just want the look. I remember someone telling me that my daughter could eat all the unhealthy food she wanted just cause she was skinny, no she cant she still needed to eat healthy and exercise. This woman's granddaughter also asked my daughter how to lose weight (they were like 12 at the time) both were at the BBQ my daughter had salad, veggies and a hotdog the other girl had a hotdog and chips. Hmmm I wonder why?

Most people just wanna be skinny not healthy. Also not everyone can stick to a gym workout, there are other ways to get fit and you have to find the fun fitness for you!

There's no where near that many dudes hugging at my gym on any day of the year....at least not out front anyway.

I was a January newbe 2 years ago still here. I would have totes given up by now if not for the support on here

And....enter the gym/nutrition snobs that think they have it all nailed down and complain abut folks trying to better themselves. Meanwhile, said snob probably won't be here next year either....

They come on here like that too! Batten down the hatches, I say.

I say get prepared to help out some unfortunate souls with proper advice and information. Can't make them listen, of course, but a few of them will take heed.
