Can you lose weight figure skating and what do you have to wear?
Have you ever taken skating lessons before? If not, it's better to start off in group lessons. You don't need private lesson until you start working on jumps. The only reason to get private lessons at the beginner level is if your arena doesn't offer group lessons for adults and teens. Yes, figure skating will help you lose weight, especially if you have a lot to lose. But you would have to be skating hard for at least 45 minutes, at least twice a week to see any effect. You'd be better off adding some jogging or swimming to that as well. Everyone wears their 'own clothes'. Tight, stretchy clothing is necessary for movement and safety. You can't wear baggy clothing because your skates might get caught on it, and you can't wear jeans because those don't allow for enough movement. If you're insecure about your appearance, you can do one of two things: get over it, because no one will be looking at you, or wear something like yoga pants and a hoodie (keep the hood down and the strings tied).

What do you think of brand-name (Abercrombie, Aeropostale, etc.) clothing? What is something you wish girls around your age would wear more often? What is something you wish most girls around your age would stop wearing? What do you think when girls wear dresses to school? (like sundresses, casual dresses. Not party dresses lol) Do you wish they'd wear them more often, once in a while, or never (to school)? What do you think when girls wear wedge sandals to school? What about flip flops? What kinds of bags do you think look cute when girls wear them to school (Jansport, tote bags, etc.)? What kinds of bags look ugly? What do you think of sweatpants? Do you think it's attractive or unattractive when girls wear colored eyeshadow? Do you find it interesting (in a good way)? Or would you prefer something neutral or more natural-looking? What do you think of yoga pants? Would you prefer it if a girl wore a v-neck, or a t-shirt with a more modest yet still flattering cut? Do you prefer shorts or jeans? (Assuming it's the kind of weather that can suit either one) What do you think of skirts? What jewelry do you like when girls wear? What clothes/fashions can you not stand? What clothes/fashions totally confuse you (like you see it and think, "ugh why do so many girls wear that/like it? It's so weird/unattractive!") What are other turn-ons and turn-offs?
