re: Do you struggle to keep weight off in the winter?

No, that sounds like an excuse. The underlying cause is a lack of motivation, which is fine. But don't blame gaining weight on it being too cold or too dark, that is a cop out.

I gain more in the summer/early fall.

It appears your weight gain is what's called the swollen vagina

You either get yourself to the gym or you don't.
Many other factors at play though:
*Holidays...many people overeat for holidays
*Colder weather in some areas limit outdoor exercise...some people enjoy exercise more when it's outdoors and may struggle to continue exercising at the same frequency in an indoor gym
*Seasonal affective disorder: Pretty common...basically you get depressed from fall to winter. Those with this are more lethargic, gain weight, and eat more.

I'm with him. People get into the "well it's winter time, frick it if I gain weight" mentality

What are we talking about? Thanksgiving and Christmas? That's two days. Pig out all you want for those two meals and adjust accordingly the rest of the season.
All of your points go back to motivation. If someone is motivated to lose/maintain weight, they can no matter what season it is. It seems to me exercise is a great way to combat season affective disorder since it makes you feel better physically and mentally. No excuses

I'm sure there are those that just get lazy as well, I'm not saying that.
Just saying that for some, they may truly struggle for reasons I mentioned.

That explains it then. You still have a young metabolism on your side. It starts slowing down when you turn 30 and takes a serious nosedive when you turn 35. So for people in that age group and older...it really is more of a struggle to lose weight. Not saying it cannot be done or anything. But it is not as easily done as it was when they were in their 20s. Also..add that you tend to have other responsibilities (work, family, etc) in your 30s that make it more challenging to fit in working out.
Again...not saying it cannot be done...there are just more known obstacles that someone has to overcome. Enjoy your young metabolism while you can
I wish I would have adopted a healthy lifestyle/workout routine when I was that age. Would have made it easier for me now.

I turn 30 this year and I don't think my metabolism will be able to keep up with the insane amount of beer drinking I do on the weekends. Guess I'll have to start working out and running when I start gaining weight

That's why you see many girls blow up when they hit 30 if they were the type that just partied and ate whatever they want and never worked out in their 20s.

Seasonal affective disorder:
is that really a thing? Things like legit injuries are excuses to gain a little weight. I ate too much at Christmas is a cop out

So you don't think, depending on where you live, less sunlight for less time plus colder weather can have an effect on, among other thing, energy levels and food consumption?
as an adult, if it takes you more than a week or 2 to adjust, you need a reality check

Living far from the equator. SAD appears to be more common among people who live far north or south of the equator. This may be due to decreased sunlight during the winter and longer days during the summer months.

Should have known. There's a disorder for pretty much anything these days
If seasons really affect someone that much I still just call it being a pussy

I lose weight in winter because I am less active and understand that my body doesn't need nearly the amount of food to survive...
Now summers are a different ball game.

So you think people that suffer from clinical depression are being a pussy as well?
It's a legit, medically recognized, form of depression.

When your cold, your body automatically triggers you to be hungrier.
