Jogging Outside.
I'm 5'3, 160 lbs.
I know i need to lose weight, and WANT to for that matter :) i have the diet part down, but i'm at a plateau.i can't seem to lose any more weight. i want to add outdoor activity such as jogging to my lifestyle, but i always feel l ike when i run down the street everyones watching me. i don't know how to get past this! im after to go after school when i get home because if a school bus is by me that means kids on the bus might see me! .. idk its really not a big deal, but its kinda an anxiety for me, and its what is holding me back to go jogging.. does anyone have any ideas? i would go jogging w/ my friends. but they dont live near me. and i have a brother but hes way more in shape than i am and i wouldnt be able to keep up with him.

try going to a local athletics facility.
like ymca or qls or even golds gym.
& if you see your friends or somebody you know there.
just smile & walk by. they wont care, they are there for the same reason you are.

jog....who cares what they think, thik of it as your being active there being asses! also try joinging the track team, and stay committed, try running on a nearby track baout 1-2 or if you feel like you can 3 miles a day. do a few sprints, some long and middle distance[[100 meter sprints, 400 and 800 meter middle distance, and 1600 or mile long distince]] run up and down [[outside]] stairs, when going up skip a step a few times. and do abb work. Keep this whole rutine up for a while.

Try jogging in place while watching a movie or tv. So then you can start at the beginning of a show and jog for 30 minutes. you dont really pay attention to the jogging and you work out alot more than you think you do. if you dont want to be inside then just jog around your yard or do sprints from one point to another picking up things at one side and running as fast as you can to the other and dropping it. Simple things like this for a half an hour or so helps alot.

Just go out jogging. If people say shit to you, then they're lamer than they were before, & you just need to learn to ignore them. Just don't pay any mind to them, and go jogging. Bring your ipod with you so if there's a chance you seem them & they say something, you won't be able to hear them. Going with your brother would work too. Just ask him to slow down a bit because you won't be able to keep up with him.

Going with your brother is a good idea, if he's in better shape ask him to go slow to begin with and slowly pick up the pace after you do this for a week or two. Then jog once or twice a week without him, at some point you should be just as good as him or even better if you really work on it. Consider this to be a goal and challenge yourself with it.
