Top Reasons Why Average People Say They’re Five Pounds Heavier Now Than One Year Ago

Have you put on a few pounds over the last year? I fond it's harder to keep weight off in the winter, I'm just not as active, tend to stay home and eat more! But if you have gained a few pounds, you're not alone. There was a survey and 71% of people say they're heavier now than they were a year ago and they're up an average of five pounds.

Here are the top five reasons people say they've gained weight:

1. Stressful schedule
2. New relationship
3. Hectic social life
4. Having or had a baby
5. New job

I feel like I've gained a few pounds, but my excuse is going to have to be Ben & Jerry's and wine, oh and of course not walking on the rail trail like I should be.

What is your excuse if you're up a few pounds from last April?
