    Stop bringing these tempting foods into your home. If they are not around, you are less likely to eat them. Only eat in the kitchen, at a table- not in front of the TV or in the bedroom.

    Expert Answer
    If you are 95 years old, I do not suggest you losing any weight, no matter how much you weigh. At your age, you will lose a lot of muscle mass if you attempt weight loss. That will put you at risk for weakness and falls, which can be fatal.

    It depends on how many calories you can cut and how much exercise you complete. To find your weight in pounds, multiply by 2.2. (In your case, 176 lbs.) You could lose nearly 1 kg per week for 3 months, which would put you at 64 kg.
