Summer VS Winter

Yes ... Summer is my enemy I swear. It's always too dang hot to get out, and all I want to do is sit on my duff and drink beer and eat snacks. LOL!! Winter time is so much easier ... we are eating comfort foods ... but it's cool enough to get out and work that off.
:blushing:

I get soooooo much more done in the winter than I do the summer. I live in Florida so summer here is TERRIBLE. The humidity is too bad to want to even BREATHE outside.

Summer is definitely the worst for me. There are always more temptations in the summer - bbq's, parties, vacations, etc. Lots of food and drinks! In the winter the holidays can be tough but then it's new years resolution time right after that and mine is ALWAYS to lose weight. So that usually ends up being better but I find that the best time for my weight loss is the fall (end of the summer motivation or new school year new start) or the spring (the motivation that you know summer aka swimsuit season is coming up!)

oh in winter i want heavy yummy food in summer I like lighter foods

I lose weight every summer (5 or 6 pounds) and gain it back over the winter. The heat and humidity kill my appetite, food needs to be cold or frozen or it just doesn't appeal to me. I haven't gone near the oven in weeks.

:grumble: I seen to do fine in whatever season as far as my weight,I just hate summer....I hate the 30 something days in a row of 100 degree or higher days weve had here,alond with 2 months of no rain.Im sick of the pool,and shorts and my not wearing makeup because I sweat it off.OMG I can not wait till fall when I can break out my cute clothes and boots,and go to the park with my daughter again.(trust me its way to hot unless you go to the park at 5 am)
UGH :explode: :explode: :explode: :explode: :explode: :explode: :grumble: :grumble:

Ok rant done:happy:

Come to the UK plenty of rain in the summer:sad:

I would LOVE that

I'm the same way. I prefer getting exercise outdoors, which is impossible for me because I live in Texas, and it's hotter than the hinges on the gates of Hell here in the summer. But in winter, I love getting outside and being in the fresh, cold air. It energizes me, whereas the heat and humidity totally drain me.

Summer I find it easier to eat healthy (when it's hot all you want is a lovely fresh salad in the evening) but I do get really tempted to go out and sit in a beer garden... So I eat less when it's hot but socialise more - lots of BBQ's, evenings in pub gardens, friends round for prosecco on the balcony.

Winter I find that I want hearty, wholesome food - normally stodgy carbs but I go out a lot less socially so I find it easy to stick to a healthy routine? I wasn't on MFP last winter but I think I'll find it easier to stick within calories in winter as my life style will be more consistent (there wont be impromptu Monday nights out as it is 30c!) and I am not going to be falling back on stodgy carbs!

I admit my motivation is winter is non existent though - I swear S.A.D is a proper condition - so I will have to really work hard to keep up with the exercise this year!!

Definatly Summer. It's easier to get outside and be more active. There is more daylight and more activities are possible with pools, creeks, and rivers having a decent water tempurature. In the winter it's dark when I leave for work, it's dark when I get home, I can't swim at lunch, and there is no baseball.

I think there is a paleo natural inclination for our bodies to want to shed fat when it's warmer, and add fat when it's cooler.

I put on my winter layer of fat every year. I walk 1-2 miles/day outside and in the winter sometimes that gets sidelined by icy conditions, snow storms, sub-zero temps, etc. Also, in the summer I tend to hike more and do more outdoorsy things like gardening, swimming, etc. In the winter I have to make a bigger effort to be active.
