We decided to do some research and find out what the top 10 most popular New Year's resolutions are among Americans.

Here is the outcome:

#1 - Spend more time with family and friends.

Recent polls show that more than 50% of Americans vow to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year.

#2 - Fit in Fitness

Regular exercise has been linked with more health benefits than anything else known to man, making it a goal of many to visit the gym more.

#3 - Lose Weight

Over 66% of adult Americans are overweight or obese according to recent studies, so it's no surprise that losing weight is in the top 3 resolutions.

#4 - Quit Smoking

If you have resolved to quit smoking this year, there are many over-the-counter aids to assist you. (The cost of smoking is HIGH. Smokers can pay higher health insurance premiums, be penalized by employers, and run into real estate trouble when trying to sell a home or apartment that smells of smoke.)

#5 - Enjoy Life More

Given the stressful, hectic lives that many Americans lead, it's no wonder that the goal of enjoying life more has become a popular resolution in recent years.
