AIBU to ask what is the thing you've done in 2016 that's made you proudest?

[Saggingninja]

For me - despite being diagnosed with Cronh's disease, I carried on doing yoga classes all year. Now I'm looser, more relaxed, and a nagging shoulder pain from a 20 year car accident has gone.

What are you proudest of? It can be big, small or miniscule.

Gave birth to my second child in three pushes, an hour after contractions started 💪🏻

Coped with a 2nd trimester miscarriage due to a chromosomal disorder and feel proud of myself that I utilised my mindfulness skills and stayed fairly level headed (although v sad) through it all.

What a lovely thread, well done everybody.

Led a new team to success at work, got through OFSTED! Had my daughter and now feel my family is complete.

Lost nearly 3 stone. Feel great and proud.

Had dc3 birth at home. Feel proud for that too

I worked hard on my birth anxiety counselling and DS arrived in this world calmly and our bonding and breastfeeding has been simpler than it was with DD because of it.
I'm working hard on getting back into my volunteering and I think I'm getting better at it.
I've been asked to lead a toddler group I help out with.
Small wins but after a terrible 2015, 2016 has been lovely.

What a lovely thread and some amazing stories. I've just had a pretty ordinary year and feel happy and content with that.

Had DS2

Giving birth to my son with no pain relief. (Unintentionally!)

In the last few months I've come to a decision about my future, to get myself out of a life/career rut. I'm going to quit my (nice but zero-prospects) job of 7 years next year, and retrain for a career in IT, probably by doing an MSc conversion course. I feel so excited about 2017. And I have some great mumsnetters to thank for helping me see how it was possible.

Had a surprise baby - she's beautiful and I''m smitten with her.

Turned a really shitty situation around - don't want to give details since it involves ds but it's been traumatic and I've had to fight hard. Had some very dark times this year.

I have big plans for the future : )

Wow, what amazing people you all are! I enrolled at university. I'm the oldest on my course, but who cares?😀

I danced in public. As in sober at a festival as part of the entertainment. I took up DJ ing.

Renovated our new house, got married and had dd

Started an access to higher education course at college at the age of 33. Am absolutely loving learning again!

Gave birth to my dd. Only found out at 39weeks that she was breech but was determined not to have another section.

I bought my first horse. I have wanted my own for years and years. He is everything I've ever wanted and more.

Got an MA. Much sweat and stress, so very pleased I passed.

Voted and campaigned for Remain. My area was 57% for Remain, hope some of my leaflets contributed.

Got a new job doing what I love, got married and fell pregnant all within 3 months!

Lost 70lbs

Applying (and getting accepted!) for my Masters. I've been wanting to do it for years but was too scared.

I did a Ted Talk about the terrible state of Sex and Relationship Education in Secondary schools, using my own experiences as examples in some cases. I was, and still am, very proud of myself :)

Did not kill my SIL, or brother, on a family holiday. I have EVERY right to be incredibly proud of that! Trust me 😂

I've got 30 days to pull something more impressive out of the bag...eek.

I have lost 7 stones, dropping from a size 24 to a size 14.

I started C25k in January & now run 5k every other day.

Wrote and won a successful lottery bid for the charity I work for - it will keep us going and help lots of people over the next 3 years

bought a motorbike in my mid fifties and driving it everyday. doing my 'big bike' test in the spring.
