"Lose weight" is a resolution. "Lose 15 lbs by March 31st by exercising 3 times per week and eating no more than 1,500 calories per day" is a goal ... at least in my book. To me at least, the difference is two-fold: 1.) Set a time frame, and 2.) Declare HOW you're going to accomplish it. It truly IS the effort you put into them, you're right about that. And if calling it a resolution works for you, hey! I'm your biggest cheerleader! Go Carla!

In the past, I have set goals and didnt get past the first week. I have set NY resolutions over the past few years and really worked at them. The results were great all around. Its the effort and time you put into it, not what you name it. :) To me, “resolution” is just another word for goal. In the past, I have set goals and didnt get past the first week.

I've come up with a few financial and health goals for 2008, but no resolutions. Well, a tiny one about picking up things I drop/knock over more often. And even then, it's "more often" vs. all the time. Brilliant stuff, Ron. I’ve come up with a few financial and health goals for 2008, but no resolutions.
