According to Christianity Today, these are the top ten New Year's resolutions:
1.    Lose weight
2.    Get organized
3.    Spend less, save more
4.    Enjoy life to the fullest
5.    Stay fit and healthy
6.    Learn something new and exciting
7.    Quit smoking
8.    Help someone else achieve their dreams
9.    Fall in love
10. Spend more time with family
From another angle, the top resolutions fall into the following categories (it's greater than 100% because people chose multiple resolutions):
·         Self-improvement or education resolutions—47%
·         Weight related resolutions—38%
·         Money related resolutions—34%
·         Relationship related resolutions—31%
