Tricky - How much weight do you gain in winter

[totallyfixed]

Christmas definitely seems to be the hurdle that piles on the pounds, self discipline goes out the window. We have a tradition to always exercise Christmas day morning, usually a cycle ride, but when I can afford it a ski holiday which always keeps the waistline trim. The thing is to feel justified in eating what you want on the day.
Right now we have about 3 litres of slow gin maturing in the airing cupboard so I've got a lot of justifying to do, not to mention the Gluhwein, luxury christmas pud........sod it, who am I kidding.

C'mon people.

Get yourself a cheap old bike and cycle in the rain.

The stream of cold water flowing down the back of your jersey and into and out of your shorts is ( being heated by your body ) effectively doubling your calorific expenditure.

My ride home tonight was as good as swimming.

It's not looking good for my weight gain over Christmas - already 3 kg up from July.

I have a turbo trainer but you can't do the same mileage indoors - it's just too mind-numbing. Usually put on up to 6lbs in winter. Which bearing in mind I'm 10st 2lb mid-seaon is not insignificant.

I work at home so this year plan to keep my weight all year round. I used to put on 6lbs or so over winter, but now I can get out during lunchtime for an hour per day which makes a huge difference.

I usually do, but this year put a lot on over the summer so the plan is not to put any more on this winter!

I can't resist three Mars bars packs for a £1. But that's all year round.

My local Co-op does 4 for a pound!

I've put on about 6kg pounds in 6 weeks since I stopped working.

So which is it, Dayvo - 6kg or 6 pounds?
