    I have a son being born on or around March 25. I made a deal with my wife that I will be absolutely finished smoking by then. So, come January 1, I'm going to start slowing down big time. Wish me luck!

    Same as above. I had a 99 M3 convertible, loved that car but ended up selling it. That one was bought by parents, so hopefully the next one will be a solo purchase.

    My resolution is to not have a resolution.

    Really though, try to be more positive, stop dwelling on the small stuff that keeps me up at night, and some others I don't want to mention at the office.

    Daymn! That's great. How did you do that? I really need to drop 70 pounds. The say that every 10 pounds is something like 20 horsepower at the track.

    I just realized one of my most important ones


    - Have my parents paid off or almost paid off by this time next year. I owe them quite a bit of money from them bailing me out of CC debt over the summer and its time for me to really step up and start paying them back

    Started with lip zipping with walking and weightlifting, targeting the legs to burn more calories.

    Then I went on to running and swimming.
