I'm stuck, I've been stuck at this weight for about 3 weeks now, I can't shift anything, but I havn't put any weight on which I guess is a bonus. I really want to go swimming for exercise, but I'm afraid of being laughed at, A) by my family if they found out I was swimming, and B) anyone who saw me at the pool. Plus, it costs money to use the pool and I can't spend any because I have to pay for my own driving lessons which cost a lot of money!!! I don't know what else to do, I need exercise but I don't do good with walking or biking or sit ups and that stuff, I used to really enjoy swimming which is why I thought it would be a good exercise for my but I can't because of the money thing. I don't know what to do.

Try going to the lake instead of a pool! At a pool, it is more of a place where you could get embarrassed. Also, I have a question, a lot of my friends are taking drivers ed or already did. I am only 15, but I was thinking to take drivers ed next summer, which is after I turn 16. Would that be a mistake, to wait so late??

Hmn... I feel the same, I dont like biking and such... I get bored easily. As for driving, My classes start next week so I won't be coming on here for that bit... Aside from that I personally got admitted to a gym... why dont you just ask your parents to join a gym or for the pool? By the way, don't worry about what others think of you. The way I see it, they'll never see me later in life, and if they do, they won't even remember... right?
