Help. Don't know how to get motivated to do any sports or fitness when it's this cold. I gained 12kg in two months

I struggle with that as well. I use a couple of skills to motivate me.

1. I post on my Facebook page and make myself accountable to do it. I feel like I will be lying to people if I don't do it.
2. I put on my exercise clothes as soon as I get home, pack my gym bag. That way I more likely to go as I am ready to go.
3. I have a work out buddy (hubby). We try to not allow excuses from each other.
4. I have back up plans if the weather is just too crappy to go out. DVDs, You Tube Videos for example.

It is hard to stay motivated that is for sure. I have been told after a month of doing an activity consistently it becomes a habit.

Great ill try the packing the bags before heading to work. Thanks for your tips
