Weight loss tips?

I think having my jaw wired shut would be about the only thing that would help me. I've gotten extra fluffy after surgery and can't seem to find any motivation. So, I don't know anything to tell you but if you find something successful, let me know!

I did weight watchers and lost nearly 50 lbs on it, I've kept the weight off for 7 months now. What I liked about it was that it delt with portion control and still allowed me to eat the foods that I normally like so I felt that it was realistic for me to stick with the plan for a long time.

The problem I don't like with most diets is that they are so restrictive that you really can't stay on them forever then you just gain the weight back when you go back to more realistic eating habbits.

I've lost 52 pounds since April and the things that have made a big difference for me are cutting out snacking (especially late at night), drinking lots of water and exercising. I walk our neighborhood every evening, at least 1-2 miles and I recently joined a gym. I also swam a lot this summer. I hardly ever exercised before.

As far as food goes I try to eat a lot a grilled chicken, rice and veggies and for my sweet treat at night I eat cereal. If I really want something I eat it but I quickly learned it really isn't worth it.
