Did you make a resolution for the New Year? What was it and how are you doing?

We are 20 days into the New Year so I think it is a good time to do a progress report and see how everyone is doing with their New Year's resolutions.

So, if you made one, time to share: What was it, and how are you progressing?

Only fair I go first.

I decided it was time to drop some of the weight I've been slowly accumulating over the years, so I have resolved to drop 25 lbs.

Things are actually going pretty good for me. I've lost almost 5 lbs already and haven't had the urge to give up.

(A big thanks to fellow wooter brandie346 for selling me her Fitbit. My wife and I both have one and the competitive nature of it is keeping us both honest and on track.)

Get back on my exercise regimen after being lazy over holidays (basically thanksgiving til new year's). Happy to say I'm doing it and have quickly lost 6 pounds.

My resolution is to run a 5k. Which may not sound like much but I had a total ankle fusion in December 2010 and have a ton of hardware with bone grafts in my ankle. So far I am doing great and have kept it up thus far.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
