Thank you for taking your time to have a look 😀
im a 68 yrs old lady

I want to loose about a STONE
I can’t do it alone because I don’t know how much I should be eating in a day
I can honestly say I don’t think I eat enough as it is ! I think it’s because by the time I’ve made it or it doesn’t taste what I thought it would
I end up leaving modt, the at night I go for
crisps and choc bar

typical day eating something
sheddie squares 15-20
2 strawberries and hand full blueberries

ham & tomato brown sandwich
banana maybe

coffee & tunnock marshmallow

maybe
spag bol & pasta
chilli & rice
2 lamb chops 3 new potatoes green beans or broc

Has anyone managed to loose weight just cutting out
cake,chocolate,biscuits ???

I know you said you couldn't do it on your own but I wouldn't do either of those personally unless SW online to avoid the weighing in in front of everyone.

All you need to do is calculate your cutting TDEE and count your calories to that number using something like nutracheck.

Get as much whole food in for your calories, increase protein and fiber to keep you full. No need to do no carb as carbs are essential.

Agree - I wouldn't subscribe to either SW or WW.

SW: time spent going round to each member discussing weight loss/gain in front of everyone.
WW: lost their way changing plans and points
As Yellowsubmarine55 said - whole foods, reduce sugar, exercise and count the calories.

Type into ChatGPT “my height is X and my weight is X, create me a simple and easy daily diet plan that has three main meals and two snacks that will enable me to lose a stone in weight over 8 week” and follow what it says exactly, I did this and lost 1.5 stone.
