New Year coming with (gulp) New resolutions

I always hated New Years because I invariably made a new years resolution only to break it.  This year I have committed myself into finishing 12 UFO's  (I'm praying already)  and I am starting a diet at work where we must weigh in every month for 4 months.  Not only do I weigh in front of everyone but If I lose enough weight I will get a bonus.  Sooo.... there will be some ferocious competition.  Each of us that do the weigh  in must put in 25 dollars to start. If I lose I'm ok but if I gain I will have to pay 1.00 per pound.  I don't know which will be worse, finding the time to finish my UFO's and my mother's UFO's or the diet.  Hmmm I'm thinking the diet.  Anyone have good diet recipes?
