I want to get into figure skating. Can you help me out?

Question

I'm 17 and overweight, but am in the process of losing weight, slimming down, toning up and getting fit. I made my parents import skates from the US, because skates didn't come in my size here, since skating is basically reserved for children. What steps can I take to fufill my dream, and also is it too late? I asked my dad about my larger frame and height, but he said I can still move like a smaller person if I set my mind to it. What do you think?

Answer 1

Of course you can figure skate if you want to do so! It is probably too late for you to become a professional as they do start VERY young, but you sure can for your own pleasure and satisfaction.
