      Hi Cathy, I didn’t find the chicken stir fry recipe link.
      Here is a smoothie recipe that I enjoy having:
      Blueberry Muffin Breakfast Smoothie
      1 cup almond milk (or regular milk)
      1/2 cup frozen blueberries
      1/2 cup frozen ripe banana chunks (about one small banana)
      1/4 cup raw uncooked oats (the quick cooking kind)
      1 scoop vanilla protein powder
      1 tbsp chia seeds or hemp hearts (for Omega 3s)
      Dash cinnamon
      Whirl all smoothie ingredients in a blender until smooth. Enjoy!

    Years ago I was a heavy smoker. Ten years ago I quit the cigarettes and put on weight. Since I've been retired I started eating differently and quit eating fast food. We do eat out once in awhile but mostly I eat a vegetable and a small piece of fish or meat. I've lost 20 pounds but I'm not depriving myself.

    Kathy, I just watched your 3 videos on your weight loss journey so far. I am so happy for your that you have LOST NINE POUNDS! That's fabulous. Don't discount it or the fact that your clothes are loose on you. How good you must feel to easily get into those clothes.
    I have been addicted to food my whole life and am also an emotional eater. After a serious health scare in March of this year I started on my own weight loss journey. While it is not the same as yours, it's working for me and I'm so excited about how I've done. In the beginning when I got the cravings in the evening I would drink water using a reusable bottle with a straw. The one thing I can't do is gulp water down all at once. This method helped me drink more and more water. I still have times when I eat a cheeseburger but no longer stress about it for days. I get up the next day and start again. This is a lifestyle and not a diet. I'm learning to love myself instead of comparing to others. (I've always been the heaviest in the room.) I will probably eat this way the rest of my life and I embrace it all.
    I hope you can embrace your new healthy eating and living. With all the stress you have in your life, you should celebrate every pound that's gone. In fact, when you lose more weight, go out and buy yourself some balloons and celebrate. P.S. The difference in your face and in the tone of your voice has completely changed. You are so much brighter. I enjoyed all your fashion tiips as well, being 5'3". So glad I found your channel.

I’m not in the correct headspace to concentrate on well-eating anymore, though I am still trying to control my sugar intake and I try not to eat after 7pm. I’m 59 and I know well the struggle you’re facing. I lost almost 28 pounds on WW, but it was like the minute I turned 40 every thing stopped. Lots of turmoil in my life right now and I’m just not there with cooking healthy meals at the moment. Congrats again and keep after it!

      Yes, I do almost 100% water (plus tea). I have been fortunate that even as a young child, I did not like pop, as it hurt my throat, so it is not a temptation and neither are sugary drinks. Good for you for the no sugar. I have not succeeded in that yet and do not know how to succeed.

    You will reach your goal before you know it! Nine pounds is an excellent start! I am 64 and have yo-yoed in weight my entire life. Changing eating habits is the best and (IMO) only way to lose weight and keep it off. I have lost 44 pounds using this strategy since March, and I have reached my goal. It's about lifestyle changes. Add exercise that you enjoy when you are ready! I am an emotional eater, too. Grapes are far better than the potato chips and french fries I used to reach for!! Keep up the good work you will reach your goal before you know it!

    So sorry to hear about your husband being ill. That's really hard and well done for keeping on track with your healthy eating. I think it's important to not loose the weight too fast. Particularly at our age, you don't want loose skin . This can't be avoided but loosing what your loosing s pound a week. That's good and steady. I would say that if you want this to be a life thing. You need to learn how to cook. Invest in things like an air fryer. Instant pot, and a good food blender. Thanks for letting us know about your progress, will be watching to see how you get on.

    Trust me you are doing great. I can totally relate to you with your emotional eating. I'm 55 as well. I was told I have too much iron in my liver which has damaged my liver without me even knowing. I've been told to get healthy with my diet and loose weight. I was about 4 stones over weight. I couldn't face being shamed at Weight watchers or slimming world. So I started eating low fat food and smaller portions of food. I added walking 4/5 days a week and have lost over 2 stone /32lb in weight since march. I feel so proud of myself. I still have another 2 stone to reach a healthier weight but its taken 30 years to put this weight on so I know it will take awhile to loose but I'm so happy with what I've done so far. I still go out for birthday/ anniversary meals and eat what everyone else is eating. Is great not to feel guilty as I know I can eat healthy again the next day. Life is for living and enjoying so you need to eat at a restaurant or go on holiday occasionally. As I said earlier you are doing amazing. I hope your husbands illness is treatable. Saying a prayer for you. 🙏 My husband is in and out of hospital with complications from diabetes so I can relate to having a spouse with a long term illness. Sorry for long post! Sending hugs from Ireland 🇮🇪

    Go Cathy! Slow and Steady wins the race! And over 50s should go slow so you lose the fat and not your muscle which happens with fast weight loss. Think about 2 ten minute walks a day- 10 minutes after breakfast or lunch and definitely after dinner- this lowers your insulin after eating and it will help you clear your head and help with your stress. You are an inspiration! You are doing it so healthy! Prayers everything works out well for your husband🙏🏻

    So happy for your new direction on eating, Cathy. Like you, I'm a sugar addict and use it to distract or soothe myself. You are definitely doing the right thing about not bringing those treats home now. One of the best tips I've heard on this, is, "Don't rely on willpower. Remove the temptation." Removing the sugar temptation from your home is a huge step.

    Hi Cathy
    I'm watching you from New Zealand 🇳🇿
    I'm 57 and went through menopause at 45, so have been post menopausal for several years already.
    Believe me, everything changes with trying to lose weight once you hit menopause unfortunately, it's been almost impossible for me. I'm a shortie like you, and over the years the weight has slowly crept up. I'm also an emotional eater like yourself.
    I've had rheumatoid arthritis since the age of 39, which until 2 years ago has been under control.
    Unfortunately I was put on 3 courses of steriods in 12 months when the medication I was on suddenly started causing liver issues.
    Well my weight skyrocketed all of a sudden, and I haven't managed to shift it.
    Earlier this year I caught covid for the first time, and for some strange reason I completely went off sugar and all things sweet.
    Guess what... the weight started melting off, and believe me I tried everything from intermittent fasting, Keto (yuck), going back to weight watchers etc etc.
    Unfortunately I slowly went back to the dark side (sugar), and I'm so upset with myself because out of every type of weight loss strategy that definitely was the one thing that worked.
    I've now got back on board with cutting out sugar and determined to stick with it. I found once I lost the sugar addiction it was actually very easy.
    Sorry for the long post 😅
    Best wishes
    Kelley ❤

    Congratulations. I did the plan you are on. Lost 80lbs. Unfortunately, emotional eating is a monster and can rear its ugly head. I gained back 60 lbs over 6 years. After watching this, I feel motivated. I have a lot of health issues right now. But eating healthy again is a must. I am looking forward to watching your progress. Hang in there. You can do this.

    Your plan sounds sensible. If you get tired of the almonds for your evening snack, I’ve found pistachios in the shell are great……and you have to get them out of the shell, so they last longer! Lol best of luck!

    I'm seeing a registered dietitian I understand completely about emotionally eating I do the same thing I have a shake in the morning eggs and something for lunch and then dinner look like your plate with the chicken and everything in The first two months I think I lost maybe 11 lb not even walking or exercising- prayers for you and your husband going to watch your other videos You are an amazing strong lady-to be honest I've had an ice cream and a candy bar but I'll go straight back to my diet and I continue so if anyone does don't feel bad just keep going God bless you all

    Congratulations Cathy on losing 9lbs! 🎉celebrate every pound!😊I totally get the stress eating… a lot of people do the same thing. 🙋‍♀️ both my husband have health issues. This makes it difficult for us to lose weight. I lost 35lbs doing low carb and have since gained 20 back. I hate it, but it’s my own fault and now I’ve got to get with it… again.

    I saw your one-month update last month and the very next day said to myself, if Cathy can lose weight this way, so can I. More salads for lunch, more water, brush my teeth when I just want to mindlessly snack, etc. So now I’m a month behind you and have lost just about 4 lbs. Thanks for the inspiration!!

    Congratulations!! Baby steps add up. Your approach inspires me. You are so correct about how easy it is to just stuff something in your face when you're stressed. That's exactly how I soothe myself, then I get so frustrated with myself. Keep in going! You're doing great!

    Hugs to you! I understand the stress of taking care of loved ones while trying to take care of you. Stress eating is real. The chemicals that food releases in our bodies can calm anxiety long enough for us to crave those foods in the future.

    You keep focusing on you! It seems to be working. Nine pounds is a huge successful deal! I also tend to eat to repress my feelings. I know how hard it is to stop doing that and learn healthy alternative ways to deal with those feeling . . . It's a jouney. Keep going, I'm cheering for you!

    In Scotland I am also on my weight loss journey with the "fast 800", it is working for me thankgoodness. I also reached 9lb last week and am so happy, double figures soon. I use a spice topping on Greek yogurt.
    2 parts ground cinnamon with 1 part ground dried chilli. I shake a small dusting on my yogurt for a wee change.
    You are doing so well.

    Great questions to ask yourself regarding emotional eating. It puts a pause between the urge (wanting food) and the action (eating it) and allows you to meet your emotional needs with something other than food. Well done Cathy. I am so proud of you for trying something different.

    Great work! Best advice for you: relax! And remember that there are no bad foods. Everything can be worked into your "plate" plan, but do try to stay away from processed foods. Whole, natural foods are healthiest. Best of luck to you and congratulations on your success so far!! 😊

    I can totally relate to emotional eating. If I didn’t have a prescription for my anxiety, and therapy, I’d be a lot heavier than I am. My husband also has health issues, and that’s such a huge worry. You’re doing great with your eating plan. Losing 9+ lbs. in that short of time is something to be proud of. I have an addiction to sugar, but did give up fast food, and only limit it to a few times a year. My ambition to exercise is low, and it’s still too hot to walk outdoors here, but we do have a treadmill. We’re kind of alike as far as starting too much at once. I won’t stick with it, if I’m overwhelmed. Thanks for being so open and honest, and good luck on your journey. ☺️☺️

    I am having a crappy assed day on many many levels today and instead of eating I said, what would Cathy do? Why am I upset, what would be a better approach to this emotion. So I cried and I cleaned and I still haven't had the chocolate I really wanted. Thank you. Just wanted you to know that you are heard. I'm going to have something chocolatey later but it will not be because I am emotional and 'need' it and that to me is a huge non scale win.

    Good for you doing what is best for YOU not others, everyone’s body is different. I’m over 50 and am the same don’t eat much at all but eat all the wrong foods and the last few yrs not as active. I am restarting high protein low carb and medium fats, that works for ME. People try to help by making suggestions but you are doing it the correct way, what YOUR body needs not the masses way! Also eating the foods you will actually eat makes a big difference too. I do wraps and put in the fridge, easy and quick to make and even easier to grab that then something not as good. Same with dinners, even if it’s just a few for those busy days. Your doing really well and I’m proud of you ❤

    Great job Cathy. I also have following my nutritionist plan. I've lost 29lbs in the last year. Seems I've reached a stand still. I slip every now and then , health issues you know. But working on dropping 10 more pounds. I'm proud of both of us at least we're not gaining. Prayers for your husband and you.

    The healthy eating is straight-forward. You're right that undoing 20+ years of crazy food tapes in our head is the hard one. I too am an emotional eater. Happy, sad, stressed, busy, or bored. It's a worthy goal, and you're making solid progress. Kudos!

    Congratulations on your success, 9 lbs. in 2 months is awesome! As far as grapes go, I fill snack size plastic bags with 20 purple grapes and place in the freezer. Frozen grapes are very satisfying and they have helped me to stay away from sweets. The individual bags work for portion control. I wish you continued success on your weight loss journey and sending prayers of good health for your husband.

    So encouraging! You're doing great!! One thing that helped me break the nighttime snack habit was to brush & floss immediately after dinner. I didn't want to have to do it again, so no snacks. It worked for me.
