losing weight

Hey fellow cheerleaders!!! I'm a cheerleader at my school now and I plan on continuing when I go to college. The problem is, I have a weight issue. I know that I shouldn't completely stress out about it but the college that I plan on going to is very competitive. In my opinion, nobody has really ever heard of a fat COLLEGE cheerleader and if there are any, it's very rare. I plan on going to the University of Central Florida (who beat the University of Kentucky this year!!!) and I have 2 years to get myself together. Does anyone have any kinda of cheerleading diets (i know, weird right?) that I can do to prepare myself for the collegiate level of cheerleading???

Do you have a weight issue or a real weight problem? How much do you (realistically) need to lose? You can't be that "fat" or you wouldn't have made it past the tryouts.

I dont know about that. We had a couple of big girls on our cheer team. Not the girls that really are skinny but think they're fat, i'm talking like bulging out of their uniform. It was nasty.

No that wasnt pointed towards you at all. It is rare that something like that happens like it did at my high school.

You might actually be a healthy weight. Check out this BMI chart.

http://walmart.triaddigital.com/Asse..._BMI_chart.gif

Find your height and weight and it will tell you your BMI. It is color coded to tell you if you are underweight, healthy, overweight, etc.

If you are of a healthy weight there really isnt any need to lose. I know how it is to be a girl, we always think we dont look good, when we actually do!

If you feel you need to lose weight, here is a list of diets provided by WebMD.

Evaluate the Latest Diets

Just remember that everyone's body is different, and everyone responds to diets differently. Not all diets work for everyone. You may have to try them all until you find one that is right and works for you.

nauticalstar420 in my opinion is right... I mean you should probally ask your doctor and see what he/she thinks!!! hope this helps!!! Good Luck!!!

Comments on this post
nauticalstar420 agrees: Most people who think they have a weight issue actually dont. It would be unhealthy if she crossed over into "Underweight" status :)

I was a varsity cheerleader in high school and I cheered in college a bit too. First of all, you need to get a physical from your doctor so that he/she can okay your current weight and give you a limit. Eat a lean, healthy diet, drink a lot of water, and go for a walk everyday(10,000 steps a day). Make the best of cheer practices; I know that they can be very tough and physically exhausting so use this to your advantage. Along with this, you could do yoga or pilates on the weekends in order to give your muscles a break. Good luck.
