WIN a Fitbit with Team Ireland!

CliM

My proudest achievement is my baby boy! After a long nine months and years waiting he's here and now all I need to do is lose the excess pounds that came with the waiting game! I'd love the fit bit to spur me on to be fitter like some of the other posters

Climbing Carrantouhill and playing football fro Kerry are some of my finest achievements! would love this prize, fingers crossed I win

A personal achievement that I'm very proud of was cycling a Dublin Bike from O'Connell Street to every county in Leinster & back in the summer of 2015. This year I'd like to cycle one to Cork, Galway or Belfast!

Something that will pale in comparison to many of the achievements here, but for me it would probably be overcoming crippling anxiety and fear of failure to finally join a gym. I've still got a long, long way to go but even making that first baby step was progress that seemed impossible once upon a time.

I had surgery on my knee in the summer of 2014, had played soccer for years and started taking the gym seriously.
I planted my foot training one morning and heard/felt a pop... I had broken the tip of my tibia which the cruciate ligament is attached too....Long story short have a screw now holding it in place...
Biggest achievement was getting back playing soccer and getting a barbel on my shoulders after months of body weight and then dumbbell squats.

Started my weight loss journey and have lost 10Kg so far.
A fitbit would help with tracking the exercise(walking/running) I am doing

I lost 4 stone, then I quit smoking and managed to keep the weight off!

Edward Hopper

Topping the leader board on dig-dug at my local arcade, at least until closing time.

Take Your Pants Off

walking 10k in killarney national park. 25k in the period of 2 days.

I overcame an eating disorder and instead channeled my energy into long distance running and weightlifting! Im only starting out but already being able to squat my own body weight and run 10km has been amazingly satisfying.

I quit the alcohol in January and haven't looked back since.. training and life have never looked better.
I'm well on the way to running a sub
3:30hr Marathon in limerick on the may bank holiday weekend.

Ive joined the gym and stuck to it, which has helped me to get my depression and asthma under control, and I've been getting better at keeping up with college work! Sounds like nothing but it's a massive improvement for me :)

Realising that I'm the one who needs to take responsibility for making my life change.
It's been too easy to blame circumstances/others/lack of time/whatever you're having yourself.
So now I'm making time, holding myself accountable, and ever so slowly inching towards where I want to be.
Hope to still be proud of that in a year's time and beyond.

Siog-Alainn

Noticing myself becoming increasingly unhappy and unhealthy and doing something about it. Joined a gym three weeks ago so early days yet but starting to feel better!

Mountjoy Mugger

Quit the smokes 5 years ago and have piled on weight since. Need help getting it off.
