It’s 2016, and many of us have pledged to kick old habits or try something new. Clairol nice ‘n easy wants to know how Mumsnetters are getting on with sticking to their New Year’s resolutions.

Here’s what they say: “We’re all too familiar with the frustrations of being stuck on style repeat – whether it’s due to being busy at work, having a hectic social life or being scared of change. But little changes can make a big difference; whether that’s a new lipstick, a new accessory or a different hair shade. With nice’n easy’s wide palette of shades, there’s a shade for every woman who wants to refresh her look. Each shade delivers up to 100% grey coverage, plus natural tones and highlights, thanks to Clairol’s exclusive ColourBlend Technology. What better time to go for a change than a new year? That’s exactly the time we chose to change our models on pack. What changes did you plan for this year?”

How are your New Year’s resolutions going so far and plans? Perhaps you’re working off those Christmas mince pies by hitting the gym? Or are you trying to broaden your horizons by reading more books? Maybe you’re taking the “new year, new you” idea a little more literally, by colouring your hair or changing your wardrobe?

However you’re getting on with your resolutions, nice ‘n easy would love to hear about it.

Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw, where one lucky Mumsnetter will win a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck,

Great. I didn't make any resolutions so I'm doing fine. I realised if it was so important to me to change something I should just change it regardless of the date. That way there is also less pressure too

So far so good, I decided to spend more money with local independant retailers. I give myself a £10 per week budget.

my resolution isn't going too well at the moment joined a gym just after Christmas and haven't been able to go due to ill health.

I wanted to stop eat healthier and try and cut down on sugary snacks which I haven't mangaged to do.

Mine was to get my identity back. Since I became a mum, I've been so immersed in ds that I don't feel like me anymore. It sounds a bit self indulgent but I'm just trying to get back to dressing like me, reading a few books that aren't about babies and catching a few bands.

My resolution was to get to my goal weight this year. I started my "diet" in May 2015 and have done really well - i joined slimming world, and have already dropped from the embarassing size 22 i had ballooned and am down to a 16/18. I have been sticking to it because so far I have felt so much younger, bouncy and happy and I dont want to lose that feeling! The only downside is the immense amount of clothes ive had to get rid off and its expensive buying replacements that are smaller! I hope to wear shorts for the first time in donkeys years this summer!

I only made one resolution for 2016. To visit the gym at least once a week. So far I have kept it but it has been sorely tested on some of the cold wet nights!
