Stay Active One of the major causes of weight gain during the holidays is lack of activity. Stick to your regular schedule! Not only will it help keep weight gain down, it will give you more energy and will reduce your stress which are both needed to battle the long lines and parking squabbles. Better yet, if you can up your activity, even better! Try walking a few extra laps around the mall. Or an extra 20 minutes on that treadmill. Visit Our Sponsor
