Ht. 5'8", Start: 211 lb, Today: 223 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - I'm thinking about doing some sports to lose weight. I hate walking and going to the gym, but swimming could be a good idea. But I feel fat, fat, fat, when I put on my swimsuit (which is a tad tight, too). Do you think I can go to a public pool if I look so fat? I'm afraid people would stare at me....

i go to a public pool and worst of all, all my classmates are there.
they're nice to me but it's just that i feelreally shy. so suck in your stomach and stand tall. it makes everyone look thinner.
don't worry i have the same problem and my thighs are huge and my swimsuit is a little tight!
good luck!
