Thread: What have you achieved in 2012?

2012 has been pretty life changing for me and I imagine it has been for a few of you too. I thought I would start this thread to see what amazing, wonderful, inspiring things we have ALL achieved this year. (Thanks to sididd for the thread idea!)

Here's mine:-

I gained higher level teaching assistant status.

I then started uni to train as a teacher.

My baby started school and I made the conscious decision not to have any more children (heartbreaking but necessary for me)

I lost over 4 stones.

I started laser tattoo removal to get rid of a tattoo I've despised for years.

It's a whole new me.


Now lets hear how you've changed!.......

I raeched goal for the first time in my life.

I have maintained my weight loss (near enough! I'm 7 lbs higher than I'd like)

I fitted into a hotel bathrobe.

I got into exercise (much to my surprise!) and now work out hard 4 times a week

I did a sit up!

I inspired my dad and my sister to lose weight too.

I started rock climbing.

I wore lots of size 10 clothes!

I got a new job.


More importantly than all of the things above I've had a great year, feel really happy, my relationship is in a great place and I look forward to the future with enthusiasm and a smile on my face. :-)

Ive lost 4 stone,
Become a Grandma for the first time
Finally after 25 years working for the same company been recognised and rewarded
I am happy and contented with my life

Now sid, we'll have none of that 'my achievements don't come close to yours' business. Edit your post immediately young lady!

Your achievements are phenomenal and you know it ;-)

I started a new job, same company but new role in management that I thought I wouldn't be able to do on my own and started as a job share but am now doing it on my own and doing OK.

My daughter graduated from uni

My youngest son started school

I lost the weight I wanted to lose (well all but 0.5lb as of this morning)

I celebrated and survived my 40th birthday!

awww happy wee thread!

I got married

currently pregnant

My mum is finally settled after years of emotional turmoil which is lovely to see.

I became a Godmother

Came into a small bit of cash that cheered me up!

Got to the lightest I had been since my teens!!
