Hmmm...
What I've done is gone into distance running, but I keep it at a moderate pace instead of going for speed. Speed will help with tone, but I find that moderate pace amounts for more calories burned (albeit not as much muscle produced).
I've gone from a size 8/10 to a size 4/6, and am 5'10", and this took about two years.
Once you make it a daily routine, it's not too bad, but be sure to start reasonably. Increase your distance as you feel comfortable. If you can manage to run 6 days a week, and make it over that hurdle of "I fucking hate this...", it's worth the results.
I've got the voluptuous French gene, which gives me a slower metabolism by nature, and I'm not having to make sure I don't go under a certain weight! XD
Another good option is dancing, but be prepared to be just as dedicated and get just as much "discouragement" until your body adjusts to the routine.
You're already doing the wise thing with your eating habits, though you might consider Lean Cuisines. Their pizzas are really good (despite common American hype over "cardboard health foods"), and kind of break the plate'o'salad routine (actually, I hate salads... O.o).
Just stick with what you decide. It's tough as HELL, but the end results (physical as well as psychological) are definitely worth it.
Good luck!
