I got a new job, opened a savings account, and have lost about 20 pounds. They weren't resolutions for me, but goals! All three of these things have been on my mind for years!

I completed mine last month. My New Year's Resolutions was to finish my reviews request list and I did as of Super Mario RPG.
My resolutions were basically...
1) Write more
2) Do more cool stuff
3) Be less of an anxious moron
I've definitely been sticking to (1) and I have since made much more specific goals in this category, which I'm on track with.
I went on holiday to Adelaide earlier this year and I'm going to Sydney in a couple of weeks. I've also been adventuring a little bit more, just exploring this awesome part of the world I live in and whatnot. Going out with people more, going to the movies or out to dinner more, enjoying myself more etc. So I think I am doing fine for (2).
(3) has been the toughest of the three, and I keep thinking I'm doing well and then having lapses. I need to stop being so hard on myself and stop acting like it's all or nothing; so long as I'm having more calm, happy days than I was, I'm winning here.
I forgot what mine were soooo that probably provides the answer.
Didn't make any - I'm one of those who believes that self improvement should start as and when you feel the need, and that too many resolutions are "forced" and fall flat (in the fitness / weight loss scene I've seen them called the Christmas Turkeys - because they last about a week into the new year. )
That said, it works as motivation for some, and it's good to know they have worked for some too!
Lost 70lb since last October, though. 9 more to BMI 22

Not well.
I see you've dodged all my traps. Well played, sir.
EDIT: For reference here's a thread http://home.eyesonff.com/showthread....14+resolutions
According to that thread, mine were:
-Start stretching a lot more so that my body doesn't feel all old person-ish
I did, but I really need to do it every day. It has to be a daily thing and I might start taking fish oil pills again.
-Learn more things to cook EVEN MORE THINGS
I did and continuing, but I hate cooking so not going to go crazy with this.
-Hang out with my friends more and less with my bf's friends because a few of them suck
Yep, but I made amends with a few of his friends that I was having issues with. And the ones that suck, still suck, but they're thankfully moving far away so yay.
-Make a feature film
It's happening in late August most likely. We're already in pre-production.
To be honest, I don't really make serious resolutions apart from just breathing and being happy. Those are the only really important things for me to want to be or do every year.
