    Deciding to get healthy and fit. I lost 71 pounds and can run 5 miles in 49 minutes. I also met Jillian Michaels who inspired me to keep going (I had lost 36 pounds when I met her).

    Let's see...

    1. Forced on maternity leave 3 months early--wait forced on leave of abscence
    2. Figuring out on that forced leave we could manage without my job
    3. Hubby and I having our first child--a boy
    4. Quitting my job before I was to return back to work
    5. Full time SAHM
    6. Starting 2 bussiness
    7. Hubby finding a new job with room for advancement (didn't have that before)
    8. Loosing 34lbs/hubby loosing 40lbs (Since Oct 2011)--only 60ish each to go to get back to our skinny 20something selves

    It has been a tough, trying year with lots of changes but full of AMAZING accomplishments for us both that we worked our A$@ off for instead of asking to be supported by our govt or someone else---WE DID IT--and that feels great!!

    What did you do to make it happen? Did you have a job lined up?

    My first quarter with a 4.0 GPA!

    ETA: found out that I am moving into a place next year where I can have pets! For the first time in almost 2 years now, I can have pets! Oh, and I got into the math class I was waitlisted on. That's pretty awesome!

    Heh, quite a few, cuz I found something else to add to my original post:
    Became totally financially independent of my family, paying for my own tuition
    Worked full time for the first time in my life on the Air Force Base last summer
    I'm learning and doing well in ASL
    Gained self confidence for the first time I can remember, ever

    ... maybe some more to come if I can remember.

    Found a wonderful doctor who actually listened to me...and rather than saying..."move more..eat less" she took blood tests to see what was really wrong

    Found that I really enjoy working out...bought some new gear..and rather than it collecting dust.am actually using the stuff

    Found MFP

    Lost 40 pounds..and have no plan of finding them...
