try dance. get some dvds and learn a few new moves.

Take Aikido. NOT boring, you'll get fit, you'd get to know other students and you learn how to protect yourself. Also, I think the big sweepy hakama pants look cool on most figures.

Uh... no.

You may want to look into Pole Dancing. You don't even have to wear shorts, you could meet TONS and TONS of people, and they may even give you a few bucks.

Ahh...

Maybe there's a local softball of volleyball team you could join. Also some spas have fitness bootcamps and you could meet people that way. If you're not just trying to meet new lady friends and are open to guy friends, there are track teams but that's a lot of running and crap. You could also start up your own sport. Have people come to you.

i did bootcamp last year and lost 12 kilos!!! but it's more fitness than a sport with skill requirements

i used to play volleyball when i was a kid... i should look into beach volleyball... considering i live in Sydney

i rather netball than softball...

I started in Jan ~ go 2-3 times a week and the difference in my body already is amazing

Have you tried shopping?

Eating ice cream. I always feel accomplished when finishing off the container of ice cream. I believe it's an olympic sport or at least it should be. Because I was watching the last olympics and eating a container of ice cream and I felt like an olympic champion.

Volleyball. Not sure about your area but we have a place or two around here that will have several indoor courts open at night (6 courts I believe) and you can go with friends or show up alone, sign up on the sheet and jump in on a team. You'll meet people, get a bit of cardio in, and possibly have a good time. I haven't gone in a while, but considered going back. I'm just not that social and the friends I would go with have all moved.
