What are your New Year's resolutions? Yahoo readers have their say
Yahoo UK's poll of the week lets you vote and indicate your strength of feeling on one of the week's hot topics. After the poll closes, we'll publish and analyse the results each Friday, giving readers the chance to see how polarising a topic has become and if their view chimes with other Yahoo UK readers.
With the new year come new plans and goals, whether in our personal and professional lives. To help us meet those goals, we often make New Year's resolutions and self-improvement appeared to be the name of the game this year.
A YouGov poll found that health and finances were top priorities for Britons in 2025, with resolutions like saving more money, getting fitter and losing weight being the most popular.
We wanted to find out what Yahoo readers are planning to achieve this year - but the results may surprise you.
Yahoo News UK asked our readers to let us know what their New Year's resolutions were, here are the results:
