New Year's Resolutions can be tough to keep, especially during a pandemic.

Depending on what your goal is, like travel or weight loss, it may be difficult to stick to your goals in 2021. The spread of coronavirus has also forced some places to shut down or limit some public spaces on top of financial hardship. While some Americans may not even bother with resolutions this year, you can still try. Your success may be tied to where you live, too.

WalletHub looked at over 180 American cities to see where people are most likely to fulfill their New Year's resolutions. According to the website, 11 Florida cities made the list:

  • Orlando (No. 23)
  • Tampa (No. 26)
  • St. Petersburg (No. 37)
  • Fort Lauderdale (No. 39)

  • Miami (No. 68)
  • Port St. Lucie (No. 110)
  • Tallahassee (No. 115)
  • Hialeah (No. 170)

Researchers gave a shoutout to Orlando for having the most restaurants per capita!
