[Gosia]

I lost a couple of pounds in the spring, but then life got in and I couldn't follow my plan any more. I only gained ca 4-5 pounds back, but still I wasn't happy with my weight.

So a couple of weeks ago, when life got back on track, we both (DH and me) got on South Beach and keep losing weight. I lost ca 15 pounds in the last weeks (2 weeks Phase 1 and 2 weeks Phase 2), but somehow forgot about this board. And as I should be learning for my exam on Sunday, I am procrastianting and have re-found the board LOL.

It feels good to find you all again and be able to chat and exchange ideas. I am also so happy to have found all the cool recipes, I am sick of eggs and low-fat sausages for breakfast. Tomorrow I am going to make some muffins or pancakes, or... LOL.

More about me: I am 27, SAHM of a one-year-old. I study (Master's Program in IT Management), enjoy cross-stitch, breeding cats, reading and walking. I live in Berlin, Germany.

My biggest issue at the moment is going back to the gym. I have been delaying going back for the last 4 weeks (I was on holiday before). I really, really need some motivation to restart my program.

It's nice to meet you all!

Hello Gosia, and welcome to "the beach." Congratulations on losing 26 pounds so far.

Now do tell, where do you find low-fat sausage in Germany? LOL - just kidding, I know they're out there, just few and far between, and usually still a lot of fat. I live in Bayern/Bavaria (I'm American). I'm on Phase 2 and have been eating oats with raisins for breakfast. Its really good on these cold mornings.

Good luck on your exam this weekend.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful welcome. I already feel at home here

That's true that the low-fat sausages are hard to get and still have more fat than needed, but I eat them rarely and decided as long as I'm losing weight I will keep eating small amounts of not-so-very-good food, simply because many things are not available here.

I still have problems with veggies though. I do not't like many of the healthy ones. I love carrots, green peas, corn and red beetroots, which are not allowed, sigh. I am fed up with broccoli, cauliflower and lettuce.
