I began my weight loss journey on March 2, 2022 by first doing a Sugar Fast and lost 20 lbs. Maintained that loss until November 1st when I began Intermittent Fasting and as of this comment I have lost a total of 60 lbs and am now 5 lbs from my goal weight. I have gone from a size 1X to a size Medium. I have found through this journey when I feel hungry I will drink a large glass of water and typically the hunger subsides. Wearing clothing that fits my body is helping me realize just what my body looks like and helping me have a better body image of myself.
Cathy, I am well over 50 and get many wonderful tips and suggestions from you. You are a beautiful person looking to help other woman feel good about themselves. No matter what our age, weight or life circumstances, we can benefit from some guided self care.I really enjoy your channel ! Continue to “ Be You “. Thank you.
A note about necklines - I noticed in your example pictures that your head/face looks rounder, and like it's floating, in a high neckline only when your top is dark (like black or navy). When you wear brighter or lighter colors, any neckline looks good on you 😊
Buying clothes at points along the weight loss journey is a tough one for me. I've always seen clothing purchases in two phases: now and goal. It's a delicate dance to know how much clothing to buy at a point that's just a stop and not a destination, all while not breaking the bank. I think purchasing a few key pieces is the way to go, while continuing to use items that you can get away with being larger than your current size, like certain winter sweaters or open-front cardigans.
These are such good tips! While these are things we should know and remember, it's so helpful to have reminders. I think tips like these are great whether or not a person is on a weight loss journey, because it's how we should be treating ourselves regardless.
Hi Cathy. I loved this video. You have given us some great tips. It is so important that we love ourselves and take care of ourselves so that we can love and care for others. A smile to someone else can brighten their day. ❤
Thanks once again. Cathy. Great advice. I had donated my bigger clothing to the Family services. This is free to them. It's a monthly thing. My weight loss is now 25 pounds. And my clothes were hanging on me. I take your advice about proper fitting bras and clothing. It does make a difference. I am feeling healthier and walking way more. Also all your advice on what works for you is Awesome Advice. Everyone is different on what they like and don't like in foods. But I've so far Loved your hamburger soup. I make it alot . I get my eyebrows threaded. I thought I didn't have enough eyebrows. But my hairdresser she said you have enough. They look good and there actually thicker now. I am fortunate I have my mother's skin condition. And I don't have wrinkles or anything . All women ask me what is my secret. But the healthy eating contributes. I drink green tea everyday and plenty of water as you do Cathy. You are giving really great advice about affordable clothing ideas. I did have to go to the thrift store and purchase some nicer used clothing. This store has really nice hardly used clothing. And affordable prices. There monies go to to a good helpful source to women 👍 ❤ Take care pretty lady. And many blessings 🙌 🙏 to you and your hubby. Peace ✌️❤
Yay! A motivational video! Great tips! You look great in that black outfit with the heels. I dressed up for my dental cleaning today and for the grocery shopping trip. I even wore cute boots with 2 inch heels. I notice that I walk with a better posture when I take a little more effort. Watching a little farther here, love your makeup tips. I have eczema so my skin is really hard to manage.
Hi Cathy! I just wanted to say that I like your channel’s new name. I’m oh so definitely over 50 and this new name really rings with me! Such a timely update to help you reach your subscriber goal. 👍🏻
I found that I changed a size with each 10 lbs of weight I lost. I did shop at a high end consignment shop near me and I was able to also recoup some if the money. Fortunately i do know how to tailor which helped. Bras: I always buy the best one I can afford and places like Macys always have a good sale a couple of times a year. I did lose 40 lbs and have maintained it now for 6 years. My sizes vary by manufacturer so when shopping in a thrift store, online stores like Poshmark, it's more about knowing your measurements than a particular size.
“Smile and the world will smile back”! I’m a firm believer in that saying. I use that saying often when I’m trying to lift the spirits of a certain family member who always looks angry! lol. Thanks for the chat, you are always motivating.
This video is great for EVERYONE. Thin, thick, losing or not! It’s a wonderful example of how to pull yourself out of a funk no matter how you got there. ❤
I want to speak up for Goodwill! I used to turn up my nose at shopping at Goodwill and dollar tree type stores. As my income went down, it necessitated my going to those stores, especially Goodwill. I can honestly say that some of my most favorite professional clothes are from the Goodwill. I just went on a business trip and at least four of the pieces were from the Goodwill. Sometimes I’m even lucky enough to find some of my favorite designers like Susan Graver from QVC. So, if you’ve never shopped at the Goodwill for clothes consider it. The downside is that in my area now they no longer provide dressing rooms, so any clothing I buy I would either have to take home and bring back or try it on right there. The Goodwill has great deals and prices! I also like water, but my drink of choice is Perrier or similar club soda. It has the advantage of no sugar and no calories. I also do not drink coffee, tea, pop, or alcohol.
You’re so right. Applying some of these strategies routinely is such a confidence booster. No matter where we are on our (weight loss) journey we deserve to look and feel good because we are worth it, even with 30 or whatever pounds to go! I’ve started taking the time to accessorize with jewellery or scarves, whatever I feel like that day, and it makes such a difference as to how I perceive myself. 😊
Fantastic video Cathy and your tips are spot on!! Yes, the bra size shrinks the fastest! (Don't ask me how I know this) LOL....I invested in some comfy Rhonda Shear bras last year and of course the cups are too big now BUT guess what I did? I have some pretty beaded safety pins the size of diaper pins. I turned the bras inside and pinned them together along the 'V' that the cups form (hope you can picture what I mean) and Voila!! instant smaller cups!! This might work on an underwire or certain other styles but works great with the stretchy RS brand, at least for me. I agree, wear the size clothing that we're at now...makes us feel better about ourselves and spurs us on to our goals...I've taken all my now too big clothes out of drawers and closets, laundered them all and packed them up for the thrift store....one person's 'loss' is another person's 'gain'....Thanks for the very positive video!!
Thank you so much for all your hints and encouragement. The light in this video is very flattering. At times the light in the past has distorted your chin and taken away from your lovely eyes. Keep sharing your thoughts and hints we need you you
Thanks Cathy, very encouraging video and you look great! I’m going this afternoon to the salon for a new shorter hair style 😬 here’s hoping I love it. But I can always grow it out if I don’t.
Really great video Cathy. I was having a tough day and along with all the other great tips, the most important one today was the smiling. Thank you for lifting my heart. You’re awesome.❤️
Love the monochromatic look - almost as much fun to wear as it is to say, ha ha ! Thanks again for the video, Cathy. I would subscribe 10 times for you if I could!! BTW - now that you say it, it's true : I used to wear (and sometimes still do) big, sloppy sweaters (wc are in style)and dressing that way doesn't keep me on track on my food journey making healthy and delicious choices.
Hi Cathy ❤️🇨🇦❤️My question is What are you doing with all your big clothes You have shown us many outfits that would be approximately 2 sizes too big Thank you Amazing video
@@StyleWithCathy Lovely I started to do that too so women do not have to pay for clothes like the thrift store Pleas encourage your followers to do the same ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Cathy, I'm afraid my comment will sound mean-spirited, but that is not my intention. I want the best for you, and you deserve it. Will you please stop "posing" when showing clothes. It's fake, and distracts from your purpose. Adopt a natural stance. The old hand-on-the-hip, one-foot-forward is sorely outdated. No one does it. Look at models who are different sizes (ie, Old Navy's ads) They stand with their weight balanced on both feet. I love you and what you're doing on your channel. Keep up the good work. You deserve success!
What are you..a Ford Modeling agent? I hate to break it to you but your comment does sound mean spirited. What does it matter if Cathy poses or not? Is she just to supposed to stand there with her arms hanging down? The arms on the hip pose is a classic pose which shows how a garment fits at the waist.With everything that Cathy is going through now with her husband I'm not sure why you would find bringing a negative comment into this space would be helpful Stop nitpicking.
Wow, freedom of speech is sure alive and well on RU-vid! Just because someone makes a comment why do you feel you have to act as a protector of Cathy. You are grown women so let it go. Without freedom of speech Canada will be another North Korea! Relax and let people have the choice to comment even if you don’t like it after all Cathy has put herself out there and is always asking for comments. You get all types of comments and I don’t think this person was being mean spirited just their opinion.
Why does it matter how Cathy stands when she is showing us the clothing items? You are entitled to your opinion, but if you preface a comment with “ it may seem mean spirited “ then probably it is. Women need to be kind to each other.
@loricameron4230 She herself said that she was afraid that her comment was mean spirited, so she was aware that it was mean spirited. Constructive comments are fine, but knowingly acknowledging that you are posting a mean spirited comment is not.
