Resolution Retention Rates
Early in January, it's always a madhouse in the gym, with people trying to keep their resolutions to get in shape/stay in shape/slim their shape/change their shape... In the weeks that follow, though, the regulars start to see a dropoff, as New Year's resolutions to get fit are put on the back burner for other things that come up.
Well, we're wondering how your New Year's resolutions are holding up. It's far easier to make 'em than to keep 'em, so please be honest and let us know whether your resolutions are intact, in progress, or in the past!

My New Year's Resolutions are defedentaly behind! But I shall be working of them! 😉
I personally don't have any new years resolutions. New years resolutions aren't really important to me i never choose one for myself. Also even if i did choose i probaly would forget about it.
i don't have a rather i don't care about them sorry.
My new years resolution was to not eat any junk food for a week. That plan backfired, because I eat junk food EVERY day after school and i can't stop. I think that those who are having trouble with this (like me) should pretend that this is something that absolutely positively can't be avoided and it will keep you doing it.
I've kept mine
I didn't
I've done a pretty good job at holding them up this year. My resolutions are to not complain at all. Life is wonderful and I should be grateful for it. I also decides to make a jar and put slips of paper in it each day about good things that happened that day. I plan to look at them during new years before 2014. I've made a chart to check off each day based on how well I've kept up with other resolutions, too.
My sister made a jar and I thought it was a wonderful idea.
My resolution this year was to tackle procrastination. My homework for winter break was to read a novel – my resolution hasn't been holding up so well...
my new year's resolution is to join a sport and keep with it! it seems every time i join a sport i never finish it out. i don't want to be a quitter the rest of the rest of my life, if you quit a sports team in middle school imagine what you'll quit when your grown.volleyball and track here i come!
Our new year resolution was to watch CNN student news every day and it is holding up well. We have been watching everyday and we hope it will keep going.

My New Year's Resolution was to stay in shape and to not eat so much anymore. I am happy to say that I have partly kept my resolution by eating right and going to the gym more often. I would still love to go to the gym more though and keep my resolution alive. Happy New Year!
My New Year's resolution was to lose enough weight so I can do better in gymnastics and i lost 40lbs!!!! I am so excited only 1 problem all my pants are falling off me!!
I'm trying to keep it but is hard to do stuffs what you don't want to do to keep your new years resolutions.
My resolution is to help people in Fukushima(Japan) and study English to let people know more about Fukushima.
I didn't make a resolution, I made a goal. Resolutions tend to be broken, but goals are meant to be met, and my goal is going greatly.
I didn't make any resolutions, so I have a 100% success rate.
Or a 0% success rate...
or 100.0%
To have fun that is my New Years Resolution.

Ruffel maybe your resolution should be to hang out with me more.
Its Russel not Ruffel

My resolution didn't hold up no longer than the 5th. I promised myself to try to not lose anyone close to me. That didn't last to long.. Manny passed away Friday night. I also promised to stop self harm. It's barely holding. Also losing weight isn't working. So none of mine are(:
RIP Manny

I don't know how my resolutions are holding up. I'm trying the best I can to achieve them, because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
I made a resolution to take my rabbit outside and let him run around every day. I didn't do it for the first couple days of 2013, but now I've taken him out for 3 days in a row!

My new years resolution is to obtain better grades in school while trying to make sure this year is better than last year with tons of laughs and excitement. Hopefully I can keep my grades at a good level while still enjoying my life.
This new year’s resolution will be the best, in the past i will say what i will do and never do it but so far i have stuck to my plan. My new year’s resolution is to get built and also get better grades. i also want to get another job by the end of February so I can be more independent and buy myself something without depending on my mom to say yes.
My Resolutions are in progress. The resolution was what you mentioned of getting in shape, Ive eaten one apple and three carrots once a day.
Another year has passed upon us. It’s another year for us to try to better ourselves. I don’t really believe in yearly resolutions. In my opinion, people should attempt a resolution every day. By having a short term goal you are less likely to drop off your resolution.
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” (Henry David Thoreau, Walden)

I think New Years Resolutions aren't that great. New Years Resolutions have a reputation of people putting them off. I think people should set up resolutions whenever they want to in my opinion.
My new years resolution has gone pretty good
I don't have a New Year's resolution.
My new years was to help my friends and family for their party for new years day. 🙂
and i was suppose to help my friend help the stop hunger program but i got busy. 😦

I have not planned any resolutions yet except to be better at Ace of Spades.
My resolution is trying to drink more water and so far its not getting any better.
I'm Really Good at War... 🙂
My new year resolution is going great I'm working on going vegetarian.
Well to be honest this year I didn't make a new goal. Except last year I keep up with my goal.
I usually don't do a New Years Resolution only because I can't keep them very long, but there are things that I try to be better on.
My new year has started out great my aunt came to see us and my cousins come to stay with there parents.
My resolution was to be more environment friendly and so far I have done great.
the resolution is going along great. so far nothing has been broken. Also at a steady rate
I'm doing great at not fighting with my sister. I had no idea how easy it actually is.
my reslutions are coming along very well
I don't make resolutions because they are hard to keep. Instead, I make wishes. I wished for things that are important to me and so far, they have come true.
I've been trying to go for runs, hit the gym. Im trying to become the all star for the football team this year.
my resolution is to get a better grade in all of my classes and organize my room, so my mom don't have to clean or getting tired.
My new Years resolution is turning out to be BAD i have only changed my hermit crabs shell once and it's almost DEAD me and my friends got one fro christmas 😉
My new year’s resolution was to get good grades and to hand in as many extra credits as I can. So far I am doing okay. My grade in English could go up a little, but my grade in Social Studies is doing better than last quarter! My grades are awesome other than those two that I am really trying hard at. I think that sometimes people don't keep their new year’s resolution because it may be too hard for them to handle. Some people set their goals so high that they can't get to it and give up.
I couldn't think of a new year's resolution but yesterday I got a great idea so I'm starting a little late. So far ti's going really well and I think I can keep it up all year:)
I'm proud to be who I am right now, so I didn't really assign myself a Resolution.
I have been keeping mine pretty good. It's hard to not talk during class but it's not a huge sacrifice.
My new years resolution is to finish reading the Pendragon series
My new years resolution is to finish reading a whole series of Artemis Fowl. And it's really going out well.
My new years resolution is still in tact. I promised myself that I would start exercising at least 2-3 times a week and I`m doing just that in Health.
I didn't make a resolution, because the whole point of resolutions is to make yourself feel good. When you don't accomplish them, you have to wait another year to try again!
I dont reslutions because i know i will break them!!
New Years Resolutions are very strenuous to keep up with! Especially if one put a little too much on their list...
My New Years Resolution was to go to pay more attention to God's word and go to England for Summer 2013 and visit the Eiffel Tour, Abbey Road, and the Lourve Museum. So far so good, I've gone to church every Sunday and I've read the bible two times a week.
My New Year's resolution was to progress forward both athletically and academically. I haven't broken it yet and hopefully I won't for the whole year!
I go to high school since this year, so i just hope to change a lazy life I used to have.
My New Years Revolusion is to be a better person to the person I love the most. ^~^
actually my plan is to study well. but is hard actually to keep it. so I'm still working on it.ㅠㅠ
My resolution is to play the violin and the trumpet. Also, I wanted to watch CNN student news daily. I think that the only way to keep up your New Years resolutions is to keep telling yourself that you can and to just persevere. "we can do all things through Christ, who strengthens us."
My resolutions have been holding up well.I want to stay offline and spend more time with the people I love.
Doing exercises on the Wii on the weekends. I'm doing this a little bit but not too much.
I want to race in my wheelchair {maybe in a fast power-chair}. I'm still waiting on this one.
I want to get faster on my eye gaze communication device. It's getting easier every time.
I want to practice walking in my gait trainer more often. It's going good, better now that my physical therapist knows about it.
I don't make any New Year's Resolutions. I feel that any amount of change that you want to achieve, is not going to be accomplished by just stating it in a resolution. People have to really work hard to be successful at most resolutions, and I think that a lot of people think that just by saying they're going to change, they think it's automatically going to happen.
I want to be faster at typing. I'm still working on this.
i want to ride my horse more. I'm really working on this.
I want to dance more. It's going good.
My new years resolution will be to try and get people to stop bullying and put it to and end. .So many kids are getting hurt and its becoming a big problem.
I want to learn to use my tablet at home. It's going good.
I am going to try new foods because I found out I have a dairy alergy and its hard
I will try to kepp my room clean
Is To Get Good Grades.... Succede in Life !!!!!!!
I made a lot of resolutions, or it’s better to describe them as goals for 2013. Overall, my goals are going all right. I have goals relating to being a better person, getting some church things done, doing well in school, extracurricular activities and fun things, and being healthy, to name a couple. There are so many things I need to get done in a day, but I’ve noticed that if I shrink my goals to thinking about them day by day I do better. I made a goal to write in my journal a couple times a week, and I’ve realized that it is easier for me to accomplish this if I try to write whenever I have a couple of minutes before bed. It’s much more enjoyable of instead of on Saturday night scrambling to write about my entire week like I’ve done in the past. So far this method has worked for me, and this goal has held up pretty well. Now if it just holds up for the whole year! Most of my resolutions are turning out similarly, and I know I can do so much this year, and I have great hope for what I’ll be able to do.
My resolution is to spend at least 30 minutes each day outside, so I can get some fresh air. Unfortunately, I'm too busy with schoolwork to do it EVERYDAY, so I'm going to change it to at least twice a week.
I promised my self that I will watch cnn news daily and I have been successful because I watch it even if I am busy all day and even if its past midnight.:-)
My resolution was to study everyday and I have been successful.I guess its because I have my pre-finals from next week. 😉
My New Years resolution was to be a better student and be nicer to my teachers.
My New Years Resolution was to annoy my social studies teacher everyday.
My New Years Resolution is to ask every one of my teachers 5 questions a day.
