Kinda confused... Where do I start?

Now that I think about it, you guys are probably right about me keeping down in weight. Not having to feel like I have to gain a ton of weight definitely speeds up the process of actually getting started, too. I would like to be on a tad bit of weight though.

Yea, there is nothing wrong with working towards getting to a weight you are comfortable with and feel good at. It is important for you to be happy with your own personally body image.

What the point we are getting at is, we often see a lot of people who feel they need to do things like gain or lose weight before starting boxing. This mindset often keeps them from actually starting. For to box...starting out, walking your butt through that gym door, is the fundamentally most important first step there is.

You're right, I'm gonna check to see what all gyms I can find in my local area and talk to as many people as I can. I can worry about my body once I start learning the skills and can get advice from a trainer who can take a look at me in person.
