Scottsdale, AZ — January 11, 2002 — This past New Year's, tens of thousands flocked to myGoals.com, the Web's premiere site for setting and managing goals. The results are now in, and this year's most popular New Year's resolutions are to lose weight and to pay off debt, according to Greg Helmstetter, the company's CEO.
"At 27% of all resolutions, Health & Fitness is the leading category," said Helmstetter, "and the vast majority of those are resolutions to lose weight." Personal finance resolutions—particularly goals to pay off debt—are the second most popular category at 19 percent.
  
At myGoals.com, people can either create their own goals from scratch or they can select from a library of "premade" Goalplans related to topics ranging from careers, to skydiving, to parenting, to home improvement. These premade Goalplans come pre-loaded with expert tips, tasks, and suggested due dates. In addition to dozens of premade Goalplans, myGoals.com also provides over five thousand suggestions for goal titles.
This year's other popular resolutions involve goals to:
- Take lunch to work more often
