What!? You wana know what people seeing you would do? they'd look away and be ashamed! 'wow... that big girls running and I'm fit and I'm not' You'de be an inspiration and a motivation. get out there girl no-one will think anything bad and if they do than thats there problem. they're probubly just jealous that your getting fit and they're not anyway. =)

I feel the same way & theres alot of thin kids [and hot guys] living around me. And i hate it.
But i jump rope. [idk if thats one whole word or two seperates. lol]

But if you get the confidence to do it.
Then do it.

I would just run anyways. I mean the only people that are gunna say thst are gonna be mean people, why give them your time? Worrieing about it ain't gonna go anything but make it worst. It's better for you to go runnging and they see you for them to see you just sitting around doing nothing right? (no offence) Just ignore them that's all you can really do. :) Hope this helps. :D GOOD LUCK!

well all i can say is that sometime a little extra weight doesn't have to do with your fitness level. i saw a documentary where the biggest girl out ran all of the smaller girls by a lot in a marathon because she worked the hardest. i have also seen it a lot during cross country!!
so even when you feel like people are thinking bad thoughts ... stay confident because there is always someone who is looking up to you thinking "man i wish i could do that"!!!!

Well I think you should go for it and run! If I saw a "fat girl" running I would be thinking "awesome, she is trying to be a better, fitter person."
Chances are, the only people that would laugh are the people who secretly want to get off their buts and exercise but can't be bothered! So I wouldn't worry :)

So in my quest to lose weight I have to do cardio, right? Everyone knows that. So anyways, I have a bit of a dilemma. I really want to go jogging but I don't want to embarrass myself by having people see me and be like, "Oh look at the fat girl running. Is she trying to run and lose weight because she's so fat?"

You know? And there are no places around where I live so that I'd be able to run privately. Do you guys have any ideas? Should I just run anyways? Like, I want to but I think it'd be really embarrassing. I mean, I'm a good runner but I just don't want to run in public.
