There isn't a weight limit for using a public ice skating rink. 200 pounds isn't that heavy. Just make sure you wear a pair of jeans and a thick shirt since this is your first time... to prevent injury in the occurence of a mishap on the ice rink.

No way girl!
Ice skating is very fun and you will definately enjoy it!
Dont worry because ice skates can hold people with big numbers on a scale. If you are worrying that people are going to like treat you wierd then thats not true. I highly doubt people will mistreat you because of your weight. Besides, 200 lbs is not bad at all! Dont worry about it!
I know that if I ever see you ice skating, I wouldnt mind and I would just think of you as another person.
Can you please give me the best answer?
Thanks! You are going to have a great time ice skating and you have yourself a great day!

Does she skate? Does she skate better than you do? Say something nice, like she skates great, or at least tell her she did great, or ask her to teach you something if she's a good skater. Flirting has to be kind of spontaneous, it's more of a look, a smile at the right time, not so much what you say. It's what you do and how you do it, so be gentlemanly, help her on the ice, help her take the skates off, Don't tease.

No. Would you ask yourself that if you were a guy? I'm well over 200lbs and have never thought of that as an issue for skating. Dress warmly. Be prepared to fall. Thin ice is a problem for all skaters.

I love big gurls who go out and have fun and know they still can. Of course you can go ice skating. There is a movie about that big gurl who ice skates.
Go out there and knock the little girls down!

well, i'm not sure about the arena/rink that you have in your area, or other answerers' area, but in my country which only has a 20m*30m rink, there isnt a weight limit.
i'm pretty sure there wouldn't be a problem at a rink. however, if you're experiencing winter time and have some frozen lakes/ponds, i'd advise not to go there unless there are plenty of people there. it's not simply because of weight issues, but it's that the ice may be unevenly frozen and break unexpectedly.. a rink is way better.
hmm. i'm sure that everyone's feet looks the same. i mean, you're not grotesquely overweight right? so i think you'll fit into skates too, if that's your concern... remember to tie them tight and secure, so that only one finger can barely make it under the lace... if you have figure skating style of rental skates [with the jagged toe pick] be really secure at the ankle.
i think you're conscious of your weight. don't be. do you love yourself? well, if you're very conscious then cut back a little on the weight. do you know skating burns almost as much calories as jogging? go for it!
but then your weight may be an issue for you since you have to think more on balancing on ice and be aware of your surroundings than to think of what others think..being on ice is a totally different feeling esp to a first timer. i doubt anyone will discrimate you, so dont worry about that. forget about your in securities, stay near the railings/boards but DO NOT hold on to them... i did and took forever to let go..
go with friends who know how to skate, even if they only barely know how. they'll keep your confidence in check. get the considerate kinds who wont tease!
wear gloves! you dont want to cut your hand when you fall right? please dont fall with your hands outstretched. it may break the fall, but it may injure your wrist! it happened to me. if you're aware you're gonna fall, at least kneel down..
wear long clothing. so that you don cut yourself with sharp ice by strong skaters...
falls are okay, dont let people scare you. cos you're on ice, you'll skid, it'll break the impact of your fall! so it's actually better to fall on ice than on land..
hmm.. hey girl.. dont be worried about skating kay? i took quite a bit of work to learn.. it's just the right techniques.. you need to find your centre of gravity on ice which is different from on land.. when others teach your how to skate, let go of the railing or else you will never.. pst. that's from me. i pissed my friends off once cos i embarrassed them...
if you're going alone, at least go watch the better skaters.. look at their feet, try to imitate them. for starters, keep weight on the foot that's on ice...
hope you have a beautiful time skating. dont be in secure.. just as ppl agree with disagree, find security in your insecurity.. =)

You will probably break through the ice, but I say "Go for it girl!"
