I'm talking to those who actually make them. :wink:

(Otherwise there are going to be a lot of people who say, "I don't make them", or "I dont' need to make them because I change my life every day", or whatever. Not asking you. Thanks anyway. :flowerforyou: )

I've decided that for the entire year of 2011, I will participate in every nearby walk/run that I can get involved in. I also plan to build more muscle tone, and by the end of next year, I will be in a size 6 or smaller (not sure how much smaller I could be than a 6 and still look healthy, so I'm aiming for 6 because it's the smallest size I remember being at any [nearly] adult age [high school].)

I'd love to hear your resolutions, both fitness related and otherwise. :smile:

    To actually stick with my fitness lifestyle and get my eating in line 90% of the time rather than 50%.

    I'd also like to spend 2011 training my patience. I'm doing better, but somewhere I need to improve for all around wellness for me and my family. I'll start by learning to SLOW DOWN and appreciate down time. And also making sure I demand time for myself (from myself) as well.

    I want to start training for a 10K. But I'm not waiting for the new year to start.. I'm starting now! So.. does that still count as a New Years Resolution? haha

    My resolution is to continue working on getting down to my next goal weight, and hopefully be able to run/jog in atleast ONE marathon in 2011!!! Along with keep up with my challenges I started back in August!

    My resolutions would be to exercise 5 times a week while eating healthy wholesome foods. I would like to be 90 pounds less come Jan of 2012. I started my weight loss journey in August and since then have only lost 14 pounds. But I stepped my game up like 3 weeks ago when I lost nothing for a month. Anyhow.....I want to stick to this and do more challenging work outs as I go. Good luck to all of us!!

    My New Years resolution is to maintain the health that I have attained by continuing to exercise at least 3 times per week (after I reach the maintenance phase) and continuing to eat healthy foods. I also plan on continuing to strengthen and build muscle mass to become a more lean/fit person.

    Well, 2011 is gonna be MY year. My hubby comes back from deployment so I wanna be looking great. I'm taking the weight loss slowly but I figure that's OK. In April 2011 I want to ride the 150 mile bike ride from Houston to Austion TX with my sis-in-law to raise money for MS. She does it every year and I've been promising her for as long as I can think of that I will do it with her! Now's the time!!!!
    I also want to train and work my way up to a mini triathlon. My target for that is roughly July/August timeframe. I want to get back to Australia to see my friends and family and be looking toned and fit for my sister's wedding in November 2011!!!

    One of my resolutions is to keep up with my healthy lifestyle. I've lost weight countless times but the REAL challenge is keeping it off. I plan on not letting life sabotage me and even when I reach my goals I want to be very active so that possibly one day when I get married/have children I will have a healthy lifestyle to pass on so my children won't have to worry about being unhealthy and overweight. My second resolution is to quit smoking---again something I've done countless times but have been unable to maintain it! I want to be at my best health ever in 2011!

    Mine would be to not only lose the rest of this weight, but to maintain it and an extremely active lifestyle.
    Fit into ALL of my old clothes, even the 2's.
    Finish all of the unfinished home improvement projects left undone since we bought this rinky dink fixer upper!
    To be happy and make peace with family members.
    And to kick butt in vegetable garden come spring!!!!!!

    Thats not asking too much, is it? LOL

    My new year's resoluton is to
    1) start eating better/make better choices with food/moderation
    2) exercise every day
    3) not worry if I indulge ocasionally or don't get exercise in
    4) get healthy this year
    5) stick to workouts (I've had a hard time of that lately)

    On another note, I got my workout completed for the day and I was under 1200 calories before I added exercise.

    To maintain what I've lost and to work at the last 10 pounds. I know they're the hardest.

    But my birthday is a week from tomorrow and I won't being the losing in earnest until that's passed. I'll be turning 50 and there will be a party for me.
