Including 4 wheel drive and not being a truck or anything huge that wastes a ton of gas, or something super expensive- 18k price range.
Answer
There are no "safe cars" for any season of the year around the planet. Cars are not safe. They are motion, self propelled devices powered by internal, some say "infernal" combustion engines, albeit many new ones have electric motors, Yeah! Four wheel drive vehicles do not work if there is no friction. In fact, 98% of cars on the road ARE NOT four wheel drive and are driven year round rather successfully. The DRIVER , the knowledge, the training, the ability to think and judge the conditions is what is important and evolves to a safe driver. Plenty of 4X4 crash in winter as this has NOTHING to do with handling, braking or ability of the driver to use good judgment. Years ago when ABS came out insurance companies gave a discount as they though cars with ABS would crash less often. THEY WERE WRONG. When cars came out with Stability Control Programming, no discounts. Do these cars crash less? No they do not. As it happens, most people DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW THESE WORK and crash anyway. Why? Because people take RISKS. In Kentucky alone in 2012 over 53,000 crashes were attributed to distracted driving which means texting/cell phone. Three days ago in my area an 18 year old female died when while texting lost control of her car and crashed. About the same time a mother of four kids, barely 26 years old, drove in front of a large, YELLOW, school bus as if this BUS did not exit. She dies. Cause? Texting. If you wish to buy a car, buy a car you want. However, get driving lessons. Most people DO NOT KNOW ENOUGH as to cars. Going to a driving school should be MANDATORY. If you wish to see what I mean go to "wreckedexotics.com" to see people with money to buy expensive cars but with no brains to buy driving lessons that have crashed their cars. Some die. The subject of tires, energy, handling, kinetic energy, stopping distances, etc. IS NEVER DISCUSSED. And so, you, in your state of being an average uneducated and untrained driver, have the opinion that there are safe winter cars? And you shall buy one but you shall crash THINKING that you can speed and mishandle the car because you have four wheel drive. Last year or two an author rode a model T Ford for one year. In that year there were over 8 million crashes, 40,000 people died 5,000 of them teens. With millions of injuries over 250,000 ended up with handicap level injuries. This guy? Not even a parking ticket. No heat, no radio, very small almost bicycle size tires. And yet, not a scratch on the car. Why? He knew how to drive and when to drive and where to drive. No chances. My 2001 Audi is front wheel drive. Five speed manual. I drive year round. If there is snow, seldom in my area, over two inches, I wait for the roads to be cleared. The car does not have a scratch on it. Why? I have taken driving lessons, I never speed and I seldom take chances on the road. People have tried to crash into me. They speed, do not stop at stop signs, tailgate, etc. But I know what do to. How about you? Care to evolve into a safe driver? Get lessons. The car is not that important. YOU ARE.

Answer
You sound about my size. Sucks huh? ;) just kidding
Well what I did was cut off all the sweets and soda. I'll have something small just once in a blue moon, but for the most part, no sweets.
If your meals aren't unhealthy, don't worry about changing those. Pay extra special attention on how much you eat though, because portion control is a major factor in weight loss. A good way to do that is to eat very slowly, and put your fork down between bites. Don't pick it up until you're done chewing.
I know you've probably heard it, but drink water. You really need it in the first place, adn drinking it before a meal will curb your appetite and you'll feel full faster.
It's a good thing to get healthy now, so I commend you. Do it healthy though. That's important.
Now, for the tough part. You need exercise! It's extremely important. My work-outs usually consist of cardio 2-3 times a week, weight room at the local gym as often as possible, and easy stuff every night. A great leg work out a friend of mine told me about is:
Lay on your back. Bring your knees up so that your thighs are verticle (perpendicular to your back). Kick your legs up and down, almost like doing the bicycle exercise, but minus moving your thighs. This is easy and you can do it whenever.
A great stomach exercise:
Stand about half a foot away from the wall or doorway. Hit your hip on the side of the wall over and over, but keep your shoulders away from the wall as much as possible.
OR
When you're doing the leg exercise, finish by straightening your lefs and letting them hover just a few inches above the ground (or wherever you're laying). You should feel it in your stomach.
Crunches are always good. Same for push ups.
I know you said no links, but I've tried this and it helps. I'd tell you myself, but this should be more simple. This is for cardio work-outs. (running, cycling, swimming, etc.)

Good luck!
