A new year, a new you! Chances are you've made a New Year's resolution for 2012. If it involves losing a few pounds, quitting smoking, or exercising more, here are few tips to help you stick to your goal.

1. Make a realistic plan. The surest way to fall short of your goal is to make it unattainable. So, be specific about how and when you'll make your resolution happen. The more details and parameters you have, the easier it will be to reach your goal.

2. Talk about it. Don't keep you resolution a secret. Tell friends and family members who will be there to support your resolve to improve your health. The best case scenario is to find yourself a buddy who shares your New Year's resolution and motivate each other.

3. Reward yourself. This doesn't mean you should eat an entire box of chocolates if your resolution is to eat healthier. Instead, celebrate your sucess by treating yourself to something you enjoy that doesn't contradict your resolution. If you've been sticking to your promise to eat better, perhaps your reward could be going to a movie with a friend.

4. Track your progress. Keep track of each small success you make toward reaching your larger goal. Short-term goals are easier to keep, and small accomplishments will help keep you motivated. Instead of focusing on losing 30 pounds, focus on losing the first five. Consider keeping a food diary to help you stay on track.
