Excersize...

Well, I've been thinking of walking about one hour or two a day to loose some weigh... my problem is that when I'm almost ready to go out, I think that people is going to look at me weird, because I'm a 13 year old boy walking and they are going to say "why doesnt he do sports?" well, my answer to that would be because I hate sports, and I rather walk, since I did it with my dad. He told me that he started walking, and within one month of walking about two hours a day, he started loosing weigh. I dont really beleive it, I think he did it so I just would go out to do something and loose some weight because im ever weight...
My only corncern about walking is that when people is going to look at me they are going to say "look at that young man, he should do sports instead of walking around" and that creeps me out... what should I do??

By the way, I didnt know where to post this, and I just posted it here...

i wish i could... when i ask my mother to go outside to walk, she looks at me with an annoied face like saying "do i really have to?" she might be the only adult i can go out with because her husband doesnt want to do anything the weekends because he works, and it tires him..

well i dont know if this is an option for you, but i try to go to the gym at least 3 times a week, its a big help and i like it much more than playing sports. there is equiptment for all kinds of things so you can lose weight and build muscle. nobody wold judge you there because thats the reason to go to one.

edit - i was thinking about walking a little (one hour or an hour and a half) and then go bike ride half an hour just to do something more :D

about losing weight, i'm doing the same thing but i'm seeing a dieticaian (aka nutritionist). she tells me that losing weight is only 20% exercise. 80% of dieting is eating right. my point is that exercising alone wont make you lose weight. it's mostly eating habits. what i'm doing to lose weight is workout everyday but also eat like a very small healthy breakfast and small lunch and then have a normal dinner. its working for me. also you shouldnt be emarassed to walk. you could even jog. and if anyone asks, tell them your practicing cross country. technically that is a sport.

another thing you could do is buy a treadmill if you dont feel like walking outside. they are pretty inexpensive. a used one you could get for like 40 bucks.

i know that loosing weight isnt about only exercising, but i want to, because i never do, i also have been eating better last month, so that shouldnt be a problem...
thanks anyways :D
