Hello Everyone
This is my first post on this board. I have been wanting to try yoga for years but have always talked myself out of it. I am 5'10 and about 100 pounds over weight  and I am afraid I would feel and look like an idiot trying to do the moves. I have recently lost 35 pounds doing heather's diet ( I am still having a hard time giving up dairy but I am getting there) I have a hard time in new places with new people because i think everyone is staring or making comments about my weight, I know most of this is in my head 
I would just buy a tape but I know it will just sit there. I need a class to get going and keep me keep going. Double edge sword. So my question is, are there overwieght people in classes or just already healthy fit people? I know this sounds stupid, but it is the majior reason i have never done yoga or joined a gym. I am hoping if I work up enough courage to go it will help the IBS and depression.
Thanks

Thanks Shell
I think I may give it a try. My GP is all for it and has been pushing me to try it for about two years. I have been seeing since I was five and she realy acts like a mom to me sometimes  I just don't want to feel embaressed and then get depressed because of it. Nasty little circle I have.
Thanks

I realy don't have one. Since I started Heather's diet I have just started dropping weight. I would love to weigh about 165. I think I look real good with a few cruves. I weigh (oh god I can't belive I am going to admitt this) 264.
Nobody but my mom and hubby know that!!
I have been reading about your weight loss.
YOU ROCK GIRL
Thanks
