    Sometimes I really miss the disagree button. :)

    I did the complete opposite of @BuellerFerrisBueller. I tried to stay in a deficit through all the seasons, didn't exercise any less or more depending on said season, and definitely didn't give up "junk" food.

    How do you get as much exercise when it's 20 below as you do when it's 80 above? And how can enough food for 80-degree weather be enough food when it's 20 below?

    How do YOU get as much exercise when it's near or over triple-digit numbers than when it's 35 to 45 degrees?

    If I go to the gym, they have climate control. They can reduce summer temperatures to more manageable levels, and in the winter they actually run the heat. Amazing!

    Where I live, it rains most of the year. We have really good technical fabrics that are waterproof and breathable. I can ride my bike year-round unless there's ice or snow. (I have a bike with a belt instead of a chain, so there's less maintenance and less mess and doesn't have as many issues picking up grit in the rain. I can hike, sometimes more easily in the winter. The creeks and rivers are more interesting then. Oh. Yeah. Also for whitewater paddling, winter and spring are the seasons for anything that isn't dam controlled. Flows fall in the spring and we have to wait for fall rains to get back out. Some of us have drysuits. Oh. Yeah. Around here, May and September are probably the best months for SCUBA. If I go north to Hood Canal, winter is BETTER. There's shorter days, but the water clarity increases greatly. Water temperature is not that much different summer to winter, and... drysuit. If I want to go ski touring, I sure as <ocelot> can't go any time before there's enough snow.

    So, how do YOU get as much exercise when it's near or over triple-digit numbers than when it's 35 to 45 degrees?

    So I starded on January 1st , counting macros on MFP took the basic aproach of 1200 cal per day , because I know my body, sat small realistic goals , went through MMP set up on macros put my personal info on it and Voila!, I went from 70kg to 61.5 +- as of right now, used recipe discovery feature, portioned my meals correctly, No hungry no diet, no suffering, no deprived, also I have a workout routine that helps with the calorie deficit. It is an all day, every day routine to count your macros, but it works
