I don't mean to sound rude when asking, but have you actually been to a gym?
Protip: If you're self concious about seeing people you might know, go to a gym a in the next suburb, somewhere you don't frequent, but nto somewhere so far that you just won't go.
I'm 127 kg. I always had the 'people will stare at me' frame of mind. I've joined two gyms (one was only a short stay then immediately joined one closer to home).
People who are seriously working out, often don't give 2 hoots what you're even doing, and if you've ever ran on a treadmill, or been going flat out on a cross trainer etc. You'll know that you can do anything but look around the room.
If comments make you uneasy, get a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, play some music up loud.
Zumba Classes: Stand up the back, you'd be surprised how many people, especially old folks, who do it, and are so un-co it's not funny. It's fun, you just need not let what you THINK others are thinking, effect what you do.
Over all, I was super surprised by how little people cared about my presence (in a good way lol), by being at a gym. I am regretting not trying sooner.
If you go to a lady specific gym though, I have heard from a few friends that the ladies go therein a full kit of make up, who are obviously there to look pretty, not work out.
At the end of the day, it's your health; forget other people, and don't let them be an excuse

Thanks for the tips but yeah Ive been to the gym before lol I used to go to one with my sister, who at the time was big, probably about the same weight as you and people were RUDE , so rude ! staring, making comments, outright laughing, one guy even went up to her and told her to get off the situp machine thing because there was no point her doing it when shes still so fat and he wanted to use it.
so yeah im not sure if you just live in an area where the gyms just happen to be filled with non-judgemental people or if youve just been lucky but its not like that in any of the gyms ive ever been to lol.
