I’m struggling with weight loss , I loose a lot and then gain it back and this some , my health is struggling ,I’m 61 , thank you! I feel alone so having you might help

[@Joy80JJ]

Enjoyed this video. My problem like you is the sugar. The sweets candy/cookies/ice cream is my biggest problem...along with late nite snacking.

[@Kidges]

Thank you Cathy for being so real. Some people overwhelm me with their recommendations but you seriously make me feel like I can succeed.

[@stylewithcathyover50]

Thank you 😊

[@ginamarie8231]

Hi Cathy. I am so happy to be on this journey with you. We are experiencing the same thing with fluctuations. It is discouraging but your videos help to keep me positive. Thank you!❤

[@stylewithcathyover50]

Hi Gina, we got this! 💖

[@SusanAnnMoehnke]

I just wanted to let you know that I made your chick pea salad! Even though I forgot to get cucumber and had to substitute celery, it was very good! I especially like your dressing because I've been looking for home-made recipes; and although I have a hard time with vinegary tastes, the fact that you add honey seems to help. Also love your 4PM Cheese/Apple/Nut snack! I have been SERIOUSLY watching my food intake for the past year, slowly removing my "favorite"- but -bad-for-me foods like mayo, soda, pasta and all things white. I was surprised you recommend fruit at all, because I thought it was just carbs and verboten for weight loss. That said, I have been worried about the nutrients I'm missing by cutting fruit out altogether... Note I am 78, and after losing 25 lbs in the past TWO years, have only about 20 pounds to go to get to my ideal weight. So keep up your journey and post more recipes!

[@cindyanderson4306]

I like the balanced plate, it seems easy to remember. Thanks for sharing Cathy.

[@Terranova0]

A realistic maintenance plan is one of the most overlooked (and important) factors in successful weight-loss. I'm glad you touched on that topic and congratulations on your continued success.

[@edennis8578]

When I was young, only two diet methods worked for me - intermittent fasting or Atkins. Either/or. I never tried intermittent fasting with Atkins. These days, my husband and I do meat and a vegetable for most dinners. Eggs for breakfast. My husband eats chicken for lunch and I usually do leftover meat or cheese and chicken salad (without bread). No calorie counting because we count carbs instead. I'm 69 with normal bloodwork and bp, no medication. My husband's cholesterol is that of a healthy 20 year old man! His blood pressure is 120/70. I discovered last year that I was consuming only 1/4-1/3 of the protein I need to be healthy, which explains why my hair fell out when I was 60. I was consuming about 35 to 40 grams per day and I need at least 120! After a year of increasing my protein, my hair is growing back. It's almost back to what it was in 2018, before my biggest fallout. My eyesight is improving. You need twice as much protein per pound of body weight by the time you reach 65 as you needed when you were young because your digestion becomes less efficient. Anyway, I don't stress at all about my diet because it's very simple. None of this plate dividing, etc. Meat, eggs, cheese, butter, cream, and some milk and vegetables.

I have a huge weakness with sweets too. I’ve started walking consistently again. You’ve been a positive influence on me Cathy. Thank you😊

[@stylewithcathyover50]

Thank you!

[@justjane1984]

Loved your idea about making up a few days worth of fruit salad from another video. I never think to pick up a piece of fruit unless it’s bite sized like grapes. Time to make another one 😄 👍🏽

[@rosieschweebie]

Sugar and sweets is definitely my weakness for sure. I don’t need to even bring them in the house. Thanks for sharing, and helping us who are on this journey with you.❤

[@stylewithcathyover50]

Sugar is a tough one!

[@lizbecker1677]

When was working, I never had a problem with drinking lots of water because we had a nice refrigerated water cooler next to my office. Since I've retired, I often would forget to drink during the day. I succumbed to the Stanley cup craze and bought a 40 oz. tumbler that I now take everywhere! I load it up with ice cubes when it gets empty and fill it with water. I drink one of these every day, and I feel less tired and hungry during the day. As a bonus, I can sneak a little rose onto the beach with it because no one knows what you're drinking when you walk around with a big Stanley cup!

[@TheresaCreager]

For me it has helped to actually measure my portions. I learned that while I thought I was doing well by just “eyeballing” it I was actually over eating quite a bit! I have also started working out with weights.

[@gingerwoolard931]

I made your chickpea salad earlier this week. I love it. My husband also loves it. I added some sliced black olives because we both like olives. My husband took some to work for lunch and , when he came home, he said that the salad was great and said that we should have it in our constant rotation. I love having something ready to go. I just put some in a bowl and have a healthy meal. Thank you for sharing!

[@angelalasher8352]

The chickpea salad is delicious! My husband loved it too and has asked me to make it again this week. Thank you!!

[@LaraFabans]

I've definitely made all of those mistakes. I bought diet shakes and diet bars that are highly processed and did nothing to help and probably made things worse. I do need to check out your chickpea salad recipe. I have a big bin of dried beans and need to eat more of them. You're doing great and thank you for your inspiring videos.

[@RitaVernoy]

Wow! You are looking so good! Healthy and glowing!❤❤❤ I have to do meal prep. It’s crucial

I'm with you, Cathy. I have struggled with all the same issues.

[@user-ti6yn7im2s]

Great info ! I can relate to all of them. Thanks. I’m waiting to see your next Talbot haul for fall

[@stylewithcathyover50]

I wish that Talbots would have a 30-40% off sale, there are a few things that I would like, but they are so darn expensive.

[@sparklie962]

I'm the same age as Cathy and a year ago I noticed that my muscle mass had decreased pretty drastically - more than likely due to the calorie deficit I was working with. Hey, I did lose a lot of the weight I wanted to - but I think it "cost" me too much. What's worked just incredibly well for me since then: eating whole foods I cook myself; cutting sugar and starchy foods; increasing protein; and starting a resistance training program. I also decreased my calorie deficit to 150/200 calories max. I've gained 2lb lean muscle, but decreased my body fat 4% - including 1.5 inches of belly fat.

[@stylewithcathyover50]

Awesome!

[@sparklie962]

@@stylewithcathyover50 Thanks Cathy! I really appreciate these videos that disprove the narrative that it's impossible for women to lose weight or belly fat after a certain age. I think this de-motivates us and makes people feel hopeless. You're proving everyday that it's not hopeless - nor is it a miserable process. We can lose weight, we can regain our strength and we can still enjoy our meals! Cheers Cathy!

'You do you' is excellent advice! I admire that you can stick with the balanced plate approach, it wouldn't work for me. I did go Keto and that's been great for me. You said your weakness is candy...mine is bread and cake. Taking those things out of my diet has made all the difference. But like you said, to each his own. Thanks for sharing.

I loved your chick pea salad video! I'm always looking for new recipes and it looked delicious! Another idea for you to try is to air fry chickpeas, and add some sage, for a nice crunchy snack idea! I do WW.

[@stylewithcathyover50]

Sounds great!

[@lindaharrison175]

Really good tips Kathy ! ... you're right about drinking plenty of water ... and about having a diet soda just once in a while ... it's been found that too many diet drinks can cause insulin resistance which causes weight gain around the waist .

[@donnabeach1250]

Thanks for putting out the chick pea salad video. I didn't watch because this is a recipe that I wouldn't be making. Do you ever do crock pot or casserole recipes for the fall? I would watch those.

[@stylewithcathyover50]

Yes, I love to use my crockpot in the fall. 😊

Thank you for sharing your weight loss journey. Wondering if you ever considered bariatric surgery and if yes, what helped you in your decision making process?

[@stylewithcathyover50]

No, I've never considered it.

[@edennis8578]

I don't know how post-menopausal women do intermittent fasting. I did 12/12 intermittent fasting 35 years ago and it worked great, but it's too hard now. I can't keep my already-limited energy up.

[@rosieschweebie]

I’m 57, and Intermittent fasting has help me lose 21 pounds. But, it’s definitely been harder now that I’m older, and I’m probably going to switch to a more balanced diet plan.

[@carobful]

Intermittent fasting and carnivore or Atkinson diets are the only thing that works for me. I’m in my late 50’s

[@50PlusFitnessJourney]

I would say the NUMBER ONE mistake is thinking you are eating healthy when you are not. Skipping meals can be a part of that, but I work in an ER and I constantly hear overweight people say “I eat healthy”, “I mostly eat healthy”, or some variation. It can be a variety of factors; denial (a big one), lack of eduction, believing misleading labels or simply not tracking what you eat (not calorie counting. Just accountability). Anyway, good luck with your journey! 💪🏻

[@stylewithcathyover50]

We all have to find a plan that works the best for ourself, one that is easy to follow and sustainable.

[@50PlusFitnessJourney]

@@stylewithcathyover50 Yes. I couldn’t agree more. Sustainability is the key.

[@mollyswanner1607]

[Almost 2 years ago I had bariatric surgery. I was the highest weight I had ever been. When Journaling my food, I TRULY ate very little, and apparently this is the way it is with a woman in her 50's who has tricked her metabolism for years. Ive lost over 100 pounds and i eat well and eat alot more than i ever did....its just that its fruit,veg,and protein mostly. I do not deny myself if i really want something, but sugar affects me like you cathy,no good! I do not ever over eat,and have a plate that I practice a similar eating system as you. I love exercising. I'm 61 and my husband got me a basketball hoop for my birthday as I always loved playing basketball, and I recently bought a jump rope but my knees don't quite want to work with me yet! I don't crave the same foods that I used to either. A fresh smoothie or some roated vegetables on whole grain toast or nut butter on an apple are more my speed than the pasta I used to want. It really is a Journey and I am so happy for you Cathy! Its amazing to put clothes on and feel content and strong. ❤

[@b.b7305]

I agree, denial is true for sure. I know I eat more than I need to and I don’t understand why I do it and I need to do better.

[@50PlusFitnessJourney]

@@b.b7305 Knowing is more than half the battle. Many patients I see appear to be completely unaware. It’s definitely hard, but you can do it! It’s like Cathy said about persistence. It’s definitely a marathon and not a sprint. We didn’t get overweight over night. Or at least I didn’t. So it takes time.

[@jesuslivesforevevr]

I don’t like water.. I have to find a way to drink it.. I tried the lemon, the cucumber and it was not good to me.. I drink diet mt dew about 6 bottles a day and eat a meal one time a day. So I have to try to get this under control.. been doing this for years. Habits are hard to break.

Hi, l only eat smaller meals, l eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast, and at lunch l eat a sandwich, and I have a smaller plate for supper, l don't eat alot of meat, l only eat chicken and vegetables and fruit, drink lots of water and coffee or tea,

[@janeashton2027]

I have not made any mistakes, my doctor is really happy with my weight, of course I don't weight alot any way, the only problem I have is high cholesterol, but since my husband passed away, my cholesterol has gone down more, l am not allowed to eat a lot of meat

@@marlawegrzyn6991 I think you should write it down. It’s what I do and it makes a big difference. The balanced plate approach is a great way to approach eating a meal, but writing down everything you eat gives you something to analyze over time and is a form of accountability.

[@Maia-d7m]

There’s something magical in the combination of lean protein + starch + veggies but unfortunately the way they introduced the “perfect plate” 1/4 protein 1/4 starch 1/2 veggies the proportions are a bit wrong. That’s why people end up binge eating. If you divide your protein per 3 meals then the rest of your plate you change proportions of veggies / starch to 1/2 and 1/2 from what’s left and add a low fat (sugar based) sauce you will have Zero cravings and can play around with portion sizes to have your weight loss to your dream goal. Oh and no fruit no snacks, sorry. The best and perfect to keep cravings away. Similar effect to carnivore diet zero cravings. Try it. Guaranteed. 😉

All great points. I’ve made and enjoyed your chickpea salad - it’s has become a staple around here! It’s funny, Diet Coke is our go-to drink when we eat out. I don’t drink it any other time but I enjoy the bubbles and it’s enough to have it occasionally (we do drink alcohol but not often). If I can control my sugar intake the rest seems easy. Sugar triggers something in me that sets off wild cravings, so I avoid as much as possible. With balanced eating my cravings have subsided. Have a great weekend 😊
