Lack of exercise during the winter is why I gained what I did. My eating habits haven't changed, but biking the trails in the winter is not pleasant because of the cold (not to mention snow and ice). My g/f has a treadmill, but that is sooooo boring! Biking lets me enjoy the changing scenery as I ride. I also work out (currently not because of a strained muscle) so I'm fairly big anyway. So, I'll never get down to what the BMI charts considers "just" overweight, but I'll be happy regardless.

The main thing I've learned about dieting is that you can't simply give up what you like because you won't stick to it. Smaller portions of what you like is better because you can stick with it. And those diet drugs are crap! They may work while you take them, but if you don't change your habits, you'll just bounce back when you stop taking them.

lol, I even tried talking to a hypnotist to see if they could make me hate the things I like that are bad for me. But they said that's not how it works. So much for a simple answer...
