Hi Dana I’m sorry it was not what you hoped for at the weight loss clinic. Sounds like they are rather trying to make money off ppl than help which with such an fundamental topic as weight and health really pisses me off.
The good news is: you don’t need them.
Weight is at core a simple calculation that you have to guard with the right habits.
The calculation is: calories in VS calories out.
Calories in is everything you eat. That should come 80% (aim for 100% and allow yourself the occasional exception) from real foods, that means one-ingredient grown harvested etc things that you put together in your meals. That is to say nothing with 25 ingedients on the back of the package. Fewer packages in general. Meat fish vegetables fruit grains oils nuts. You get the idea.
Throw out soft drinks and processed snacks, you just don’t need them. Exception is bday cake of course.
Calories out is: your BMR = the basic metabolic rate, this is what your body uses as fuel just to keep going, so added activity yet. Plus of course how much more energy you need depending on how active you are in your life. The total amount is called the TDEE = Total Daily Energy Expenditure. Thats the number of what you need to stay where you are.
Of course, you want to change. So this number will get multipled by a certain quotient according to how much you want to lose and how fast.
Nowadays you get great tools that will do all this for you. They even spit out a list of numbers at the end that give you your recommended protein carbs and fat ratios. Your macronutrients This is exactly what you want.
Use this tool to calculate your macros:

Then you download any macro counter app (I used mymacros back in the day and it helped me a lot, you can even add your own recipes and special foods that you like, so if you bake your own bread you can log a slice of that) to log your daily consumption and keep track. Do it honestly but don’t punish yourself if you don’t match 100% every single day. Aim for 100%, but allow room and time for improvement and growth. It’s a learning curve. And it’s not always going to be absolutely accurate. That’s fine.
This is all you need to do. What goes in, what goes out. Plus keep active on a level that gives you joy and is sustainable for you to be consistent at. For example, don’t aim for 7 days a week at the gym when you know you won’t be able to keep that up. And who could? Aim for three and count the forth a super win if you get it and walk a lot the rest of the days or do a yoga/stretch at home for example. As long as you base the calculation of your TDEE on your actual activity level, not a high expectation you can’t fulfill, you’ll still stay on track. 
Also, track your workouts. A wee notebook or an app, doesn’t matter. But any kind of visualisation will help you stay consistent.
Wish you good luck! You can do this. It’s really all about consistency.
