(Redmond, WA)
- With the New Year upon us, it's time to say goodbye
to 2011 and focus on what lies ahead. A recent Bing
survey shows that we all feel a little differently about
the past 12 months. Sixty-five percent of 18 to 24 year
olds feel great about 2011, while 76 percent of 45 to
54 year olds hope the New Year will bring some improvements.
As with most
years, the number one New Year's resolution for 2012
is to lose weight. In fact, 35 percent of men and 47
percent of women want to see the numbers on the scale
go down. Are you one of them? From mapping out a new
jogging route to finding the latest exercise equipment
or healthy recipes, you can find inspiration for all
your weight-loss needs on Bing. If you are part of the
32 percent who noted they don't plan to make a New Year's
resolution at all, you can forget the weight loss routine
and just use Bing Travel to plan your next trip.
