It’s only October.

But in the blink of an eye, it’ll be December.

Then, before you know it, you’ll be watching the ball drop.

And that means that it’s time to start looking at some of the top New Year Resolution ideas, as we do every year.  In the next few weeks, there’s Halloween, when we eat more of the candy we attempt to hand out at the door. Then, there’s Thanksgiving, where we eat until we pass out from too much tryptophan. Then, before you know it, the December holidays are here.

And then, as millions of us do, we promise next year will be different.

In fact, around this time of year, about 90% of us, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine, make a resolution to lose weight, diet, and exercise more. All as millions of us begin to worry about our expanding waistlines, and promise ourselves next year will be different. 

Many of us will join Weight Watchers, or even Medifast.  Or even join a gym.

Look at Planet Fitness (PLNT) for example.  For the last several years, the stock tends to take off around the holidays. We saw it take off in late 2020, in late 2021, in late 2022, and again in 2023.  We expect for the same thing to happen again this year.
