I intend to lose about 10 kilos between New Years Day and Easter before my trip home to UK. I made the same resolution last year, and stuck to it - lost 9 kilos. Conveniently I put it all back on again just so I could have the pleasure of achieving it all over again in 2011.

My resolution is to always remember how lucky I am to have a wonderful family, firm friends, and a great life here in our little corner of Melbourne.

And to keep with the tone of this thread, I also intend to make many resolutions about my weight, money and lots of other stuff and to not keep them

Do you think its all a load of tosh or a real chance to try and make a change in your life?

And if you're making any are you willing to tell us what they are?

Major decluttering project underway - 15 years if accumulated junk going out of the window. It feels so good!

New year resolution - no more buying junk. Easy resolution to keep in Australia, considering even junk is so expensive here...lol

I feel for you. I think my task is easy in comparison. I am home alone today - enjoying my hangover in peace and quiet!
