The Most Popular New Year's Resolutions of 2017

Do you make New Year's resolutions?
I don't.
I makes lists of goals, put them in goal books, and put them on my vision board. Then I check in on them throughout the year, measure up how well I'm doing or not doing, and try to figure my way into achieving them.
Sometimes I do well, sometimes I completely suck at it, but regardless, every January I regroup, re-plan, re-goal.

Harpers Bazaar published an article on the most popular New Year's Resolutions for 2017. Are any of these on your list?

Twitter has revealed the most popular New Year's resolutions that had people talking as we rang in 2017, highlighting what most people want to change about themselves in the coming year.
Diet and exercise predictably lead the pack after an inevitable overindulgence during the festive period, while many people also have a strong desire be more knowledgeable in the year ahead by reading more or picking up a new skill or hobby.

1. Diet, exercise and weight loss
