    I am definitely determined! I want to prove my grandmother wrong when she says I'll always gain it back in winter "to stay warm"!

    Hi there, I'm in Glasgow. Definitely keeping it going over winter! I think all the parties etc still allow for an 80/20 sort of vibe so provided I keep up the good bits I'm sure I can have some naughty bits. I usually go out at the weekends and don't log anyways and it has perhaps slowed but never derailed me. Anyway I read somewhere we burn more cals in winter because our bodies need to workm harder to keep us warm - headstart!!
    Anybody is free to add me.

    Hi,

    I'm in the UK too. I have lost 16 lbs and have another 7 - 14 to go, although its all about the fitness for me now and the scales will take care of them self - eventually!! I am powering through winter - actually ramping up the exercise and trying to be stricter with food intake. Yes I am sure that some sweeties will magically fall into my mouth at work, there will be lots of temptation, but I am not prepared to undo all my hard work for one holiday!! Feel free to add me.

    Count me in!

    It was very dark and cold this morning, but as soon as I got up to work out, I'm ready for the day!

    Absolutely, and I do plan to indulge on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day only, certainly not throughout the winter holidays. The best changes I have made are to give up the car and start using the bicycle and public transportation (a long time ago) and to give up wine (at least until I get to my goal weight). Having just one glass of wine seems to stop my fat burning engine cold.

    Good luck to the rest of you. I live in Atlanta, Georgia USA. We don’t get the daily overcast gray skies that many of you folks in the more northern strats get.

    Friend requests welcome. My sister is here, too, and doing well with MFP. She is melanieroberts72.

    I signed up for my first half-marathon in the spring and I darn sure want to beat my boyfriend (also running his first half) so I'll be training my heart out throughout the bitter Canadian winter.

    Christmas Day and New Years Eve I'm cutting myself all the slack I want though. :)

    Of course, Winter's no reason to give up! I'll be trying to resist *too* many treats, and continuing with my at home workouts, so no excuse that it's too cold to go to the gym. I actually enjoyed doing my Body Revolution this morning without sweating like a turkey on Christmas Eve! (keeping it seasonal there :wink: :drinker: )

    Thats me too - Determined to stay focused over the holidays and allow myself 1 cheat day on Christmas Day only.
    I am currently doing 2 programs - 5 x 5 stronglifts 3 x/week and tony Horton 10 minute workout right after.
    Feeling good so far and would like to stay that way.

    I'm down near Brighton and am aiming to log every day for a year including Christmas. Next summer will be my summer not to feel self concious and wear loads of lovely dresses :)

    It's not so much the extra holiday food as it is the "too cold to do any outdoor activity =I just wanna snuggle under a warm blanket with buckets of hot cocoa"

    I am getting my bike set up on one of those indoor trainer stands this week.

    From Michigan here, winter is looming over us! This season is a hard one, but I am determined the log every thing I put in my mouth every day! I think indulging in a few holiday goodies is completely okay, as long as you hold yourself accountable and log it. Also I'm going to make sure I get out every day to do some exercise.

    I recently discovered the app Sworkit and it is fantastic. It has tons of exercises that you do for 30 seconds each and none of them require any equipment! I set it for at least 15 minutes each day and can even do it while watching some tv shows.
