    There is an exercise station on TV 'round here. Perhaps you have something similar? They have lots of stuff from yoga, weights and cardio... and the creepiest thing called cardioke... yeah... its even worse than you can imagine. Or work out videos that you can buy or rent from video stores or the library.

    joining classes is often a good way to start, or going for long walks, taking stairs instead of lifts and escaltors...excercise DVDs...you could also buy ankle weights and wear them all day...i used to do that...

    I think the most sensible thing to do would be to to work on removing those negatives thoughts about what people will think about you, that's your own insecurities. If I saw a larger fella jogging down the road I probably wouldn't either batter an eye lid.

    The other thing to do is to eat healthy food and cut out any excessive alcohol intake.
