“I’m going to keep the house neater and go to the gym at least four times a week.” -- anna&matt

“With baby coming, I definitely don’t want to let the laundry pile up like I do now. We’ll see how successful I am!” -- writerchick23

“I promise to find my sometimes MIA libido!” -- poeia

“I usually don’t make resolutions, but I really need to cut back on Diet Coke. I’m such an addict!” -- trizzie

“Lose all my baby weight so I can fit into all of the designer jeans that I spent so much money on before babies, be more patient with my hubby and keep in better contact with family and friends.” -- buboo

“I want to make our house more of a ‘home’ by doing some landscaping, painting and putting more work into decorating our sons’ rooms. I also have a goal of nursing this baby longer than my first son.” --kallieandjustin

“I’m going to do something active every day, even if it’s walking for 10 minutes right after work.” -- northamarack
