What gym to do you belong to!? At my gym there are people of all shapes and sizes!. Dont let the fact that you feel uncomfortable stop you from becoming a fit and healthy person!. Stop the excuses and get to it, you can start walking on the treadmill for a while and then when you start to see some changes and feel a bit more motivated you can then hit the weights!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends how 'big' you!.
But don't feel insecure, you're doing it for your own good!. I think society will not judge you on how you look, but they will think of you as someone who has enough brains to figure out which lifestyle to choose!. You should actually feel rather proud for choosing to turn towards a healthier lifestyle!.

I hope you do lose the amount of weight you want to!.

Good luck x

Don't feel uncomfortable, There are people of all shapes and sizes at the gym I go to!. The purpose of going is to make you self feel better and look better in the process!. Don't feel like you getting judged by others because some of them have the same problems as you so don't worry!. Just go work out and have fun!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just think!.!.!.everyone is there for the same reason!! You shouldn't feel uncomfortable!. I was when I first started, but soon I just realized that everyone is just there to get fit, loose weight, feel good about YOURSELF!. You need to think about you and no one else!. Bring an ipod and just tune everyone out!. Good luck!
