Of those who made resolutions last year, 71 percent of men and 57 percent of women said they kept at least part of it, the poll said.

I have a very short list here with a link to the top ten resolutions which might be helpful if you are having trouble coming up with a list (brushing up on Greek and Hebrew did make the list). And here's a link to Jonathan Edward's list.
