    For me it's usually summer that I put on weight. Which of course is the same time of year as your winter but different weather! This is the first year I have lost weight during the summer instead of undoing all the winter work.

    I tend to think both cooler and warmer seasons have their challenges. It certainly makes me crave warm comfort food in the winter, but the summer is full of socializing and barbeques, parties, fairs etc. In Winter it's too cold/wet/windy to exercise, in Summer it's too hot. Lol, we'll always find excuses if we look for them :-)

    Yeah. It's you're body's natural reaction to the cold. Our ancestors didn't have much food resources once cold weather set in so the body naturally retains more fat to keep us warm...

    Plus you're indoors more and generally less active.

    I'm more active the colder it gets. I get all charged up and get out a lot more. During the heat I just sit like a sludge barely able to move. Working hard this summer to over come it and so far I'm making progress losing weight. Not as active as I would like but losing weight is a huge improvement.

    Winter definately has it's challenges - pies, stews, warm puddings YUMMO!!!! not to mention it is soooo hard to get out of bed and out of the house to exercise :cry:

    Then again summer you have ice-blocks, ice-creams I suppose. :embarassed:

    But for me definately winter is the worst. :sad:

    Well for me In summer I try to get out early and beat the worst of the heat, in winter on weekends during the middle of the day, but obviously for work days you just cope with the cold by putting on another layer and get out there anyway.

    YES!! Well i live in ireland so it is winter all the time lol.
    Met my boyfriend 2 years ago in april and put on a lot of weight that winter and the following one. A stone each year.
    He is a professional sportsman so trains/eats healthy March- September. Then on his "off" season eats whatever he wants and hardly exercise he is 6'1 and very large built so can get away with it. Me not so much.
    It was only when my mom said it to me that we had both put on a lot weight over winter that the penny dropped.
    So we are back to eating healthy and exercising and i know this winter will be different.
    1. Because we are going be living in Australia(hello sunshine) and 2. because i know to keep a eye out for it now.

    I gain weiht during the winter because we are stuck inside for so long. Snow starts flying in Oct. and goes until the beginning of May here, and we get down t temps of -40C. There is no leaving the house to exercise.
