According to Goals.com, the top 3 New Year's resolutions for 2008 are :
    1)  Lose weight
    2)  To pay off debt
    3)  To start my own business

If you are serious about your goals, the site also provides 5 tips on how to make sure that your resolutions are not gone by the end of January.  Those tips include :
    a)  Make a plan - develop clear steps to make your goal a reality
    b)  Create the plan immediately - don't procrastinate
    c)  Write down your goals and implementation plan
    d)  Think year round - make your resolution last the whole year long by breaking down the task into several baby steps
    e)  Remain flexible - be ready to adapt to new circumstances

If losing weight is your aim, then the time-tested methods of better eating and more exercise are always recommended.
