Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

For me there is. I know a lot of people gain weight in the winter because of the holidays and not being able to be very active outside. I'm reverse. I eat more lowfat soup in the winter and roasted chicken and turkey. I gain in the summer. It's too hot to go to the gym there are a ton of BBQs with yummy foods like burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, etc. and not to mention frozen drinks, and ice cream.

It doesn't make sense, but I gain during the summer being that's when fall marathon training starts. and I want to eat everything in sight after some long runs.

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

Every season.

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

Probably summer. Like you, those BBQs get me!

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

Every year, I gain weight in the winter. I get depressed with the lack of sunlight & cold & I eat more junk food & feel tired & cranky & don't exercise as much. I'm also more stressed with work that time of year & de-stress myself by eating crap excessively.

In the summer, I always lose the weight I had gained the winter before. I am a lot more active & less stressed & happier with all the sunshine (has a big effect on my mood) so I lose it without trying.

Summer.

I am off...so while I do get to the gym I end up eating more bc I am meeting people for lunch, home more to snack etc.

I usually spend the school year taking it off but so far I haven't gained this summer

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

Definitely the summer. The food, the drinks, the bbq's, the drinks, the chips, and did I mention the drinks? To me the summer is the hardest time of year. I am all about the burgers and chips and ice cream and drinks. Plus it's so hot I don't feel like cooking.

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

Definitely in the summer. I drink more beer and eat more bbq food and snacks.

Winter for me. Exactly what you said, holidays and getting dark earlier makes it harder for me to get motivated to work out. Hoping to not let that happen this winter.

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

December is a terrible month for me - I don't gain but I really don't feel like working out so much.

February is another rough one. The short days kills me.

Who wants to drive straight to the gym when you get out of work and the sun has long disappeared?

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

I don't discriminate I am an equal opportunist!

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

I gain more in the winter - with the holidays I tend to drink more, and since its so hot in the summer I don't have as much of an appetite.

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

I think the summer for me too-its too hot to exercise most days.

Summer....being home with the kids during the day (I am a teacher) and having wine with dinner nightly doesn't help. DH and I also tend to eat more ice cream & other treats. DH is just skinny by nature so he doesn't worry about weight gain.

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

summer. I have so many parties, I just eat and eat and eat

Re: Is there a season you tend to gain more weight?

Although I do love my Pumpkin Ale's which are like 5 WW points

But in the winter I tend to eat. . .soups, turkey, turkey chili,chicken. . .etc. Not hot dogs, bbq chicken, potato salads.. .etc.
