Yeah. Haley and Elan. I cheered, then I swooned! :)
Dance classes are good - particularly ballroom dance - Latin style! Also, martial arts, as Chip suggested are a great idea. Something like karate or kung fu.
Or, if you like video games, play Dance Dance Revolution. It can be a lot of fun, especially if you can convince people to play it with you. Also, unlike dance classes which will probably only be weekly (or bi-weekly if you actually take it as a class in college), DDR you can play whenever you have the time. My boyfriend (fiance!) has lost huge amounts of weight from playing and enjoyed every minute of it. Soon he won't be squishy at all :-(
I agree with everyone who says dancing, and I'm personally a big fan of swing dancing. Very active and lots of fun! There are two-three dances every week in Atlanta, and many colleges have swing dance groups if you look. Martial arts would be very good for getting prepped for doing some stage combat at GARF next year, or see if your school has a fencing team.
Back when I was trying to lose weight and did lose 60+lbs (senior year of high school before gaining it back in college. Yay!), I dropped the most weight the fastest when I was dancing, so even if it isn't in a class, find a club that plays up-tempo music that you like and some friends you feel safe with and dance like you mean it as much as possible and only drink water while you're doing it.
