Hi Carla,
What works for me is not eating anything after dinnertime, except maybe an apple. If we just cut out the night-time snacking a few hours before we go to bed that really helps. We don't realize how many chips we woof down within a few minutes.
Also if you live in a cold weather state and can't get outside to take a walk because of snow and ice, you could walk up and down the stairs inside your house (if you have a 2-story house) do that as many times as you can without getting exhausted, maybe 15 times up and down, or 20 times...it only takes about 10 minutes and gets your heart-rate up. It sounds weird but its better than sitting around watching TV and eating junkfood.
Summer time: People with central air-conditioning get chubbier than people who don't have it. Several of my neighbors turned into roly-poly's within a year after getting central air installed.
