gain or lose weight?

[liquidfeet]

During ski season, do you gain or lose weight, or neither?

I typically gain about 10 lbs during the winter ski season, then work HARD to take it off during the rest of the year when I'm no longer under the influence of the ski season. It's the long winter drives to the mountains (food in the car to stave off boredom) and food while in the mountains (eating out with others, snacking with others, group eating.)

What goes on with everyone else?

I tend to lose weight during winter and gain during summer. The heat makes me want to hibernate.

I'm also the opposite, where we do a ton of road trips in summer to go biking, but very few in winter where it's a 15 minute drive to the slopes. I tend to bike a TON in spring before it gets hot, but I think all the cardio makes me hungry or something because I don't lose much weight then.

My weight doesn't fluctuate much. I do put on a few in the winter. Nothing to do with road trips whatsoever. The cold make me want to eat more. And I happen to think the added fat would be good for extra insulation!

I do so much biking as soon as the snow melts I lose all those few pounds in a matter of weeks of spring!

I lose weight in the winter.
Between shoveling snow and skiing, I get my excercise and my eating habits are better.

In the summer, I bike and golf a lot but I also like IceCream!!!

Lose in the winter - lots of touring, less BBQs and less beer.

I think neither.

I don't pay attention enough to be sure, but I think my weight fluctuations aren't related to seasons, it just goes up and down here and there.

Lost slightly in the past, expect to lose more rapidly this season since this summer I've mostly just sat around rather than working.

Lose! Always trying to lose!
