New Years Resolution.

On the home front, I plan on losing the 50 lbs. I have gained over the previous 4 years. My new digital camera has really driven home just how fat I have become.

On the Snarkpit front, I plan to give everyone whomever started an argument with me without a resolving it, a second chance. They will begin with a clean slate in 2005. It will be as if they had never done it.

I think both are noble goals, and well within my influences to success :smile:

hmm, either "resolutions" have gone to the wayside, or something.

i figured at the very least, some wise ass would have spouted some nonsense about how magnanimous mine were.

heh :razz:

I didn't set any goals up as I wouldn't achieve them. If there's
something that I really want to do or achieve, I guess I'll do that
anyway. Or fail trying.

Good luck with your resolutions though :smile:

My friend lost 50lbs...it took him about 6 months. But he felt a lot
better after doing it. He just kept a picture up of what he looked like
and how he didn't want that unhealthiness etc. So he just ate a little
less each meal and didn't have anything junky.

people whom meet me the first time always say, "but you aren't that big"

me? i feel fat, i was about 150 lbs. for most all of my adult life. 8 years ago, i quit smoking, i just knew i would blimp out.. But i was wrong, i stayed 150. 5 years ago, I began delivering these busses. i swelled to my present 200 lbs.

if you looked at my picture with tracer in my "travels thread" you might notice a slight weight issue :biggrin:
anywho's, i hope to buff back to my former 150 and toned :smile:

I plan on losing the 40lbs i gained after i graduated 2 years ago. Also, I am going to kill my ex GF and that bitch from work that filed a restraining order against me.

[edit] I was not serious about the killing stuff, just the weight loss.

Well, he went from 200 to 150. So it's possible. :smile:

I plan on trying to lose 2 stone or more so I can get rid of my beer belly I dont eat much I actually dont eat enough so thats kinda my problem cos my body goes in to sratvation and stores all the fat cos it dont know when its next meal will be but I do walk to college about 3 times a week and its a 30 mins walk each way If I go into town I walk there (its the same distance to the town center as it is to college cos college is just down the road from the center of town)

But as for resolutions go i made a mellenium resolution to never make a new year resolution again and its the only one I have ever stuck to

old joke, but still funny.

"i vow never to make another resolution again, so far i dunno if succeeded or not"
BTW, how much is 2 stone weight?

[edit]

You gained 40 kilobytes?! :wink:

My resolution is to continue becoming more independent and more confident, as most of my friends would tell you that i'm far too reserved and shy. I don't want to be independant to the point of arrogance, just enough to keep me feeling good about myself, as i've done the whole 'depressed' phase and don't want to go down that road again.

I've a decent job now, and just put an offer in on a house so it finally seems like things are falling into place - would be nice to keep things going that way :smile:
And Orph, you in that photo you look exactly like an old family friend, its really uncanny! I'll have to see if I can find a photo.

i never would have guessed after the last time you and i had our little row :biggrin:

and i have a brother, that favors you quite a bit.. yup, tis uncanny. i will see if i can dig up a pic as well.

My resolution is not to fail at life, which I'm currently doing.

I've many new year's resolutions, although I've no need to tell you most of them :biggrin:

Primarily for me, its weightloss though. I dont know how much in lb's, but I am ~ 17 stone. Which, is not good. I will loose 5 stone. 12 is a nice number, that's my first target. Want to loose as much as possible by the end of august where I'll be carting off to univercity.

actually, upon reflection, you favor my nephew, more than his dad (my brother)

My resolutions will be to (A) try to get along with people better, and (B) try to map about x3 faster than I am... I've been working half a year on classic!

did you mean faster? as in completing maps sooner? i take about 6 weeks on average, and i assume most others do too (the ones whom make a semblance of quality) how much faster than that do you want?
work on quality, not speed.. no one is racing you after all

I know... good point. But it drives me mad that I've been on the same map for half a year!

My resolution is to gain 20 pounds since my fast metabolism has consigned me to the skinny life for far too long.

I'm 19, I haven't grown in two years. :razz:

This thread has become a weight-loss discussion! I want to bring it back to topic.

My fiance got upset at me this weekend because I spent two entire days
mapping. I felt very bad, so I made a promise to myself that I
will not map when she's around.

Now, this may not be as difficult as some of you might think. She
works in another State, and only comes back to our apartment during the
weekend. So I'll still have the rest of the week for
mapping. I am only working part-time currently, therefore there
is tons of free time during the day.

Sometimes she brings things back in perspective for me.
Otherwise, I would be spending all the time in half-life without
realizing that I am neglecting real life.

I realize I'm a bit late, but I was 300 miles from home drinking hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps on new years eve. :wink:

I have two main resolutions, and while they are recent, they aren't really related to New Years. I just lucked out that my introspection happened to occur at this time of year. My goals are:

a. Become less arrogant.

b. Avoid being judgmental of others.

I know for a fact that some of you have been on the receiving end of these flaws, for which I humbly apologize.

i kinda like the current level of arrogancy around here. its not excessive and can be worn like a badge by those whom have earned the title. since the snarkmark system is not working like i had hoped, this is a fair alternative.

course each of us have our limits on just how much arrogance we can tolerate, so the issue will always remain just opinion.

personally, i judge everyone on how much they have helped the community as a whole. not just selective pieces, but the whole site. there are quite a few old timers who have helped endlessly, and a few who have helped only marginally. sadly, there are some who have helped no one, or helped to only create discontent as well.

anywho's, the only ones not allowed to show any IMO are the guys so new that their "requests" in the editing/maps forums are their only contact with us. they are in no position what so ever to display even the tiniest bit of arrogance.

fortunately, these guys are few in numbers, with the new members whom are helping people more each day far outnumbering them. :biggrin:

bottom line, i will be one of the first to recognize unwarranted arrogance, and tracer.. you do not suffer this malady. :smile:

Thanks Orph. I do alright around here, in fact I do alright most of the time, but there have been instances in my personal life where I really blew it. Trust me, it's something I need to work on. It's good to hear that it doesn't show up very much though. :smile:

Mine is to get on with my work and study for my GCSE's, Saying that i got my Mock's in 2 days and im bousing this site, :razz: . Ive also got to get up-to-date on my coursework. Noy school related resolution is to be less lazy.
