A NEW YEAR is upon us with the arrival of 2023.
For some, the changing of the calendar is a fresh beginning and an opportunity to try something new or to give something up.
But for others, the New Year can seem like an arbitrary time to make a resolution, and they can be difficult to keep – it’s thought up to 70% of people break their resolution come the end of January.
So, today we want to know: Are you making a New Year’s resolution?

New Year is a brand new slate, but I’ll be moving into this year with a commitment to take everything as it comes. There will be huge ups and downs, like every year. Last year was tough, so steady as she goes. Maybe will try not sweat the small stuff, be more grateful, appreciate things for what they are. Not comparing myself to others, no drastic changes but stay curious, open minded and love my family more and more. Happy New Year y’all x
@Barry Dempsey: Don’t sweat the petty stuff and don’t pet the sweaty stuff!
@Rafa Condron: the three Fs, will be in gyms all around the country. Fat f€&kers fortnight.
@fergusob: that’s not a very nice thing to say at all
@fergusob: The whole point of gyms is that people who want to be fitter and healthier have access to equipment and trainers to make it happen. Having access to facilities to increase your lifespan is important. The thing I hate about gyms is the self righteous who claim ownership of the equipment and the areas. That’s why I don’t go any more, and built my own gym in my back garden – so I don’t have to put up with dopes like you.
A lot of people try and make a resolution, and then life gets in the way,and it goes out the window in the first week or 2.
Why are we marketed with health and fitness for New Year’s resolutions. It seems to be the main resolution for most, lose some weight, get fitter etc. I’d say the gyms love this time of year with people signing up then dropping off within a couple of weeks.
@Andrew Giles: i always find the aldi magazine gas around this time of the year. For 6 weeks up to xmas its all chocolate and cakes and party foods and then in the first week after xmas its all weights and training gear and operation transformation!
Here we go yawn yawn yawn. How to lose the pounds and tighten your belts January. Hows you’re love life Feburary, get fit for the summer March and on and on like the stations of the cross.
I made a resolution not to do polls anymore .
Yes, I have resolved to exercise, after a year off, and have already been out with the dog and am about to do a short stretching routine followed by a few sets of rubber band work. The mind has also been run through its paces, I am committed, it will make a difference, I am resolute!
I made a resolution not to make any resolutions.
@Paul Shepherd: Will you stick to it?
Ending my homelessness. I’m going to try to buy a house.
Yup. Play golf at least 3 times a week.
To ensure i never go to the NYE event in Dublin.
My resolution is to be resolute
I intend to visit 5 countries I have never been to this year. I have a way better chance of doing this than trying to get fitter, thinner or lose my wrinkles.
Mine is to stop making up crap comments and posting them on here.
@Madra: When are you going to start? Lol
have your say
