[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, find something you WANT to do.
Second, possibly first, is realize that no one cares what you look like when you exercise. Don’t wear makeup, wear clothes from old navy, sweat a lot...no one cares.

Barre?
Yoga?
Run?
Spinning?

If you don’t have the extra budget, give couch to 5K a try.

If you have the money, join a gym and hire a trainer for a while to guide you. [/quote]

Thanks.  Your point about being self-conscious is really helpful/relevant.[/quote]

PP here. I realize that being self conscious about working out was keeping me fat. :( I stopped caring. That said, I found a GREAT exercise group with women like me: messy and in old navy clothes. Other places were not a good fit for me; everyone was too put together!

I also REALLY like bikram yoga. I sweat a lot when I work out, so working out with people who were drenched with sweat made me not stand out! I also found that no one wore designer yoga clothes. It was a heck of a workout and I got in really good shape, really fast.

I'll 5'11 and 190, so not slim and slender either. [/quote]
