A few months ago I was at the base gym with my bud, his wife and his daughter. As we did laps, his daughter and wife came to do their warm-down. The daughter (all of 19, full of self-consciousness and all that, and worried about the few extra pounds she had as well as her un-complimentary yet functional clothing) complained that "everyone is looking at me". I told her, straight up "This isn't a fashion show. Look around. People are too busy sweating and gasping for breath in this stale air to worry what you look like when you work out." From my bud, her motivation level actually went up when she thought about it that way. Apparently she has since lost those few extra pounds and has moved on to bigger and better things "somewhere" in Ontario.
So, don't worry about fashion. People aren't watching YOU (if they are, well, that's the exception and not the norm.) Get in shape so that when you DO go out to be noticed, people notice you for the right things!
