One of my New Year's Resolutions (actually my only New Year's Resolution) is to loose weight. I make this same resolution almost every year, but never succeed. This time, however, I am determined (but I will need lots of encouragement!)

I am also determined to lose weight this year. By the time July comes around I want to lose 30 pounds and by the time 2009 is here I want to lose 60 pounds total. What are your goals and how do you plan to reach them?

Not too sure yet what my goal will be - apparently I will be told tomorrow at Slimming World what my goal weight will be. My plan is mainly to eat healthily. I used to do loads of exercise, but unfortunately I found out a couple of years ago I had cancer and with the chemo and an operation I am not very strong and don't exercise at all now (hence the weight gain!) But I am planning to start doing yoga, which I am hoping will help.

I have made the same resolution. I've had the last of my kids so I'm ready to take this baby weight off for good. Every time I watch biggest loser it makes me want to do it. They are doing it again starting tonight. There is some special challenge, for america to lose 1 million pounds. I put my email in to get notice of when it starts so I can see what its all about. You can go to http://biggestloser.msn.com if you want to check it out too. Good luck with your weight loss!

My resolution last year was to lose weight. I had just started to get on the right track and had lost 15 lbs when I discovered that I was pregnant! I know that next year my resolution will be to lose weight! Take lots of walks even if it is in the mall. Drinks lots of ice water flavor with lemon if you have to. I always try to not keep fatty foods in my house that way when I get a craving it is not there for me to eat. Good luck with your weight loss, you can do it.

I am starting now too. I always have this as a resolution too. This year I am going to do it by eating healthier and exercising every day. Even if I only have 20 minutes, I am going to do some sort of exercise. I love taking walks, but it is snowy now, so I have to do my exercising in the house. I also watch the biggest looser. I think that just watching that show give me inspiraton and tips on eating healthier. good luck to everyone who wants to loose this year.

I too have a resolution to loose weight. I am hopping to loose at least 10 pounds before prom. I too always make a resolution to loose weight and so far I haven't stuck with it. So I wish you the best of luck.

I would love to lose a few pounds too! Somewhere between 5-15lbs would do nicely. If you have faith in yourself and try really hard and don't get down if it doesn't happen right away and keep plugging away, you can do it! The best of luck to you!
