Does Your Weight Fluctuate With The Seasons?

[Saphire]

Mine does. I can already feel myself gearing up for Autumn. Pies, apple crisp, warm casseroles, hearty breads, not to mention the holiday's approaching. By January 1st I am usually pretty shocked. But then I get serious in the dark days of winter, and try to lose the weight. By April I am feeling better, and ready for the warmer weather.

This seems to be a pattern for me. What about you? Does your weight fluctuate with the seasons?

Oh is that what it is?

Actually my weight only "fluctuated" once. It went UP. Still waiting for spring to arrive these past couple of years.

I do creep up in November and December with all the holiday baking and the the treats. Not too bad the rest of the year, though.

I have been better about it. I figure there is nothing that I haven't tasted. If I make an apple pie, I will eat too much of it. I bake for Thanksgiving....just enough for the day, that's it. I am tempted to make the Jewish apple cake that my mom used to make, but then, I will eat too much of it. My SIL brings desserts for Christmas, so no baking then. I shovel a path to the grill, don't do casseroles, I don't have a potato in the house. The weight still creeps up because I stop mowing the lawn by the middle of November. Its 3.5 miles around that 'sucker' two or three times a week.

Mine goes up in the summer when our schedules are too erratic to get to my regular classes at the gym, and when I wear loose dresses every day. Then the first day I try to get back in the jeans, I know I have to get back in the gym.

I usually have lost the 5-10 summer pounds by Thanksgiving.

Of course, this year may the exception to that as I am being lazy lazy lazy.

I my weight fluctuates during the seasons too! Fall-Winter are the worst for me weight wise:

October: Halloween
November: Thanksgiving
December: Christmas
January: 3 family members birthdays
February: my birthday, then Valentine's Day

The rest of the year I'm pretty good but whew, during that season I gain about 5-10lbs!!

Both DH and I seem to pack on some extra during the fall/winter months. The minute it starts to get cold, DH says we are putting on our winter "coat." You know, like we're getting ready for hibernation! Feb/March is when I get back to business!

Right now, we are trying to head off the winter pounds--seems we had a bit too much fun this summer, too!
