        My 2016. Paid off all our unsecured debts (credit cards etc…), and a big chunk of mortgage. My wife was made redundant from a job she hated and now works in a job she loves which is much closer to home, and I now volunteer my spare time to coaching kids football which, considering how irritating I find kids, is extremely rewarding.

        Hope all the forum people had a great year, and have an even better one next year 🎉🍾

          2016 has been a good year for me. After being out of work for 3 years:
          Got a job
          In another city
          Stayed in hotel, w friend, apt
          Drove back and forth weekly to originating city (least positive activity for timeframe)
          Bought a house
          Relocated to new city OFFICIALLY
          Sold house for max profit in old city
          Paying off debt from being out of work
          Looking for new bike & truck. For medicinal hill country purposes of course.

          …and bought 2 more pair of IH bottoms! 😉

            I had an exciting year. In chronological order… moved back to the US, got a new dog, got engaged to my gf of 9 years, finished my PhD, got married, got a tenure track job at a research university, moved across the country and started the new job. I'm grateful for everything but also hoping for a less eventful, less stressful 2017.

              Continuing to buy IH gear.
              I met some really great forum members in the Philadelphia area Fun in Philly meet up.
              Injured my knee at work.
              Continued to buy IH gear.
              Had a kidney stone in early June which was the worst pain I have ever endured.
              I went to the Burg & Shild party in Berlin and met another great group of forum members.
              Had a heart attack. Quit smoking. Returned to London 10 days later.
              Continued to buy IH gear.
              Regularly exercising, regularly buying IH gear, still not smoking.
              The best discovery is that longer than 12 months ago, probably late 2014 I found the 1955S 21 oz. on this site and  bought my first 2 pair IH's then spent up until now after multiple jeans purchases and decided that these are my favorite jeans that I have purchased, and ended 2016 buying 2 more pair.

                        • able to maintain my svelte figure and began running somewhat regularly and have grown to accept my hating running but love how it makes me feel. continued with my body weight training and it's been fun
                        • figuring out people I need in my life and letting them know I appreciate them
                        • being a kinder gentler me and working on being a better stoic by journaling every morning or night still working out the kinks

                          After the worst year of my life, I've dusted off my bicycle and bought a great book about the area I live in.
                          It's time to get my fitness back and have a proper explore.

                              It's been a feckin year.  Really tough first half, but things are looking way up right now…

                              It was a long time coming, but finally started therapy. Best decision I've ever made...
                              Split up with my longtime partner.  Super crushed and definitely won't be over her for a long time...
                              Expanded my brewing and made my first milkshake IPA.  Crushed it with that beer and looking forward to many more in that style...
                              Landed an awesome job at just the right time with the added bonus of it being in Hawaii...
                              Moved to Hawaii and one of my best friends lives a mile from me again...
                              Made more on my sleeve. Hopefully gonna finish it by years end...
                              Bought a Prius...
                              Started playing bike polo...
