1
00:00:09,038 --> 00:00:13,092
Each year, as the new year dawns,

2
00:00:13,093 --> 00:00:18,054
Millions of people like Gary here

3
00:00:18,055 --> 00:00:21,677
make one or more resolutions.

4
00:00:21,678 --> 00:00:25,267
Popular resolutions include kicking smoking

5
00:00:25,268 --> 00:00:26,646
or getting out of debt

6
00:00:26,647 --> 00:00:32,088
but resolutions about exercise or losing weight

7
00:00:32,089 --> 00:00:34,740
top most lists.

8
00:00:35,446 --> 00:00:39,700
How many actually achieve their goals?

9
00:00:40,674 --> 00:00:45,749
Research has shown that after two weeks 30% have already given up.

10
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:49,558
and after the first 2 weeks

11
00:00:49,559 --> 00:00:51,573
for those still hanging on...

12
00:00:51,574 --> 00:00:55,351
old habits begin to creep back in.

13
00:00:55,352 --> 00:01:00,396
At one month, the herd has been thinned to 50%

14
00:01:00,997 --> 00:01:05,837
and yet, still, 50 % is a remarkable number.

15
00:01:06,848 --> 00:01:08,662
But after 6 weeks, 

16
00:01:09,243 --> 00:01:12,401
6 long weeks,

17
00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:17,096
6 of the hardest, longest, absolutely most difficult weeks of the.....

18
00:01:17,097 --> 00:01:21,011
Come on, man! Just give me a break!

19
00:01:23,014 --> 00:01:27,592
40% of them try to make it pass 6 weeks.

20
00:01:28,193 --> 00:01:29,687
And amazingly, after that, 

21
00:01:29,788 --> 00:01:34,388
20% are continuously succesful at reaching and maintaining their goals.

22
00:01:35,682 --> 00:01:41,278
Un...fortunately, Gary is not one of them.
