How can I lose 20 pounds during the winter?
I cant go to the gym and its cold outside so I cant jog or run. I know I have to eat healthy, but what kind of exercise can I do to help me lose weight?
I can easily lose weight in the summer and during times that i can get out and run... Is it possible I can lose 20 pounds during the winter time?

Have you tried running outside when it's colder? It's not as bad as you think.
Anyway. What I'd recommend is buying yourself a work out DVD.. there's lots to choose from and you can do it in the comfort of your home.
Other suggestions include:
Running up and down the stairs (assuming you have stairs!)
Skipping rope. Do it in your garden or in a room big enough.
Put your favourite show/music on and set yourself a goal (gradually increasing it each time) and do sit ups/push ups.
Just basically keep active! If you drive/get the bus places, substitute it for walking.
Cut out fizzy drinks and have water.
20 pounds is quite a big goal, but if that's what you want to achieve, then really put your mind to it. Don't give up if you don't see progress right away - everyone is different and it takes some people longer.
Good luck!

You can lose a lot, but you do need to be disciplined to reach that kind of target.
I know you say it's cold outside so you can't jog or run but I run in the cold - you're not going to be cold because your constantly pumping blood round your body. Infact, when I run in the cold, it feels great because you feel sweaty and it cools you down. It's not until you get back home, the sweat just appears out of nowhere then your drenched all of a sudden. It's comfortable to run in the cold. ( I think anyway, give it a go! :) )
I love to swim, it keeps your body trim too which is great. So if you have a spare £4 just go for a swim if you can.
I also take a weekly zumba class. ( which are again about £5 for an hour, everyone is there for the same thing, so it's a good positive vibe)If you go on the official website, you can put your post/zip code in and they will tell you where the closest one is, and they are pretty cheap too. If you have no money, I'd download or buy the zumba tracks and dance around at home. When I have no money I find zumba instructor on youtube and I get it up on my laptop and follow them - zumba is so great, I've lost tonnes!

Also if you are watching tv, during adverts and things try to do about 50 sit ups, you'd only be sitting down. I also try to walk further, so instead of driving or catching the bus to a shop, I try to walk it instead.
