Anyone else gain weight in the fall?

[Another Fan]

So last year around now I was pushing 195 lbs at 5'9".  I felt for the first time since I was younger I could stand to lose some weight.  So I tried eating better and hit the treadmill.  Even did a 5k in the summer.  I can't do them nearly as fast I used to in my 20s but still.  I got down to about 180-183 lbs in September.  Thought I was doing going but I've been slowly gaining the weight back.  Up to about 190 lbs.  I feel like haven't really done anything that dramatically different then the summer.

 

But maybe subconsciously in colder/darker weather I've been craving more calories.

 

 

At anyway I googled it in our information age and looks like I'm not alone

I've definitely gained like 12 lb in the last couple months but I stopped running 

 

And all I eat is rib eyes and chicken breast basically so that will do it

Eating out of boredom and not drinking enough fluids in the winter is a problem for me.

I've lost 20 labs since July. I gained a ton because of prednisone (which I need for anti-rejection) are putting me on mounjaro after my colonoscopy in Jan.

You body naturally stores more fat in colder months.

I’ve gained about 5 pounds which I attribute to drinking too much soda and iced tea. I have to switch back to water.
