Oh and i'm also a cheerleader and I want to be a flyer. not a dumb base

Answer 1

your fine dont let your friends dictate your size or social status. Your weight is perfect .

Answer 2

just eat right.. dont stop eating or throwing up or anything stupid.. just eat thigs that are good for you.. my mom and my sister did the no red meat thing.. they  just eat like chicken fish turkey.. and stuff like that and they both lost weight quick.. and they are both small already.. they didint do it to loose weight they did it to be healthy... but my mom has lost like 10 or 15 lbs on it shes under 110 now.. just remember if you decided to do it you have to stick with it.. if you dont eat red meat for a coulple years and then want to start eating it.. you have to do it slowly or you will get sick.. but dont let that scare you... LOL its really a good way to loose weight and get healthy....

Answer 3

How old are you?  Assuming you are in high school, 109 pounds is good, in 9th and 10th grade.  Because your friends may be smaller means nothing.  Are you taller?  Did you know that muscle weighs more than fat?  Honestly unless you are 4'8" and weight 180 lbs, I don't think you have anything to worry about.  I used to babysit a girl who is now 12 and weighs 125 lbs...but she is also 5'6".  My baby sister is 11 and only weighs about 65 lbs...but she is probably 4'5".  It all depends on your body and your genetics.  I know high school is a very insecure time, but trust me, if you stop thinking that everyone is looking at you and thinking you are fat, you will be much happier.  Technically according to healthcentral.com, I am slightly underweight.  I am 5'4" and weigh about 123lbs...I eat and eat and eat but I also do cardio and strength training at the gym 5-6 days a week, which makes me have metabolism rates through the roof.  But on the other hand my BMI (Body Mass Index) is within normal range.  It's not about weight, it's about being healthy!  Exercise, eat healthy, and be happy!

To Fly or Not to Fly

YOU are the main attraction! But it takes good bases for you to trust.

The position of flyer in Cheerleading goes by many names; flier, mounter, top, climber, or floater, but regardless of what you call it, it is the person (yes, men fly too) at the top of a stunt, the one that gets lifted or thrown in the air. It is probably the most sought-after position in Cheerleading in that it offers the thrill and exhilaration of gracefully flying through the air and becoming the center of attention.

But Cheerleading is a team sport and each position on a squad has its importance. No flyer can go up or come down safely without bases or spotters. And although weight and height might play a part in what role you fill on a team, it is your ability and skill that should ultimately determine your position.

A versatile Cheerleader should be able to fill any job they are needed in and will be an asset to her/his squad. Never limit yourself by thinking you can only do one thing. Under the right circumstances, anything is possible. By trying other positions you'll gain a better understanding of the responsibilities involved in each. This will make for a stronger squad.

Skills and Abilities Needed To Fly

    * Confidence - Attitude is everything. Know you can do it, because if you don't think you can, you probably won't.

    * Trust - You must trust your teammates and them you. If you trust them totally, you know that if were to fall, someone will be there to catch you. With that out of the way, you can concentrate on what needs to be done.

    * Stay Tight - Keep your hips and thighs tight (pinch a penny). Don't push out with your legs, this could spread your bases apart.

    * Use your arms - You should be able to hold your own weight. Lift yourself with your arms and help your bases.

    * Balance - It's much harder to hold someone up when they are wiggling around. Stay as stiff as you can and let your bases help balance you.

    * Timing - Everyone in a stunt should know what to do and when to do it. All stunting should be done to a count. The flyer should know when the proper level has been reached to stick, hit, or pull the stunt.

    * No fear of heights. A respect for heights is okay, but you can't be afraid of them.

    * Keep eye contact with the crowd. When the flyer is up she/he should motivate and involve the crowd.

    * Smile. Have fun and let everyone know it.

DO THIS 3X A DAY!

Answer 10

A safe way you can do it is to stop eating after 7pm.

Doctors advise this as an easy way to cut back on carbs. In women after 7pm your metabolism slows down and stores what you eat in atapose tissue. I would advise do light cardio and stop food consumption after 7

Answer 11

When was the last time you cleansed your colon? I used Fibre System Plus from 4Life.com it's a 10 day all natural cleanse or their is a tea. Check out the website under products. You can order under me by calling (so you don't have to sign up), 1-888-454-3374 id# 5990435. Good Luck!

Answer 12

drink alot of water, stretch your muscles to their limits, take a table spoon of molasses, and do abdominal exersizes- this should knock loose mucous and fragments of waste.

the stretching gets rid of acumulated acid, minerals and dead cells.

     do aerobic activities when waking and before sleeping try not to put products in your hair at the weigh in, and if you really want to lose the weight get a hair cut.

Answer 13

Ummm, take a c**p?  Seriously you are small enough.

Answer 14

check your body before lose weight.

Answer 15

Eat a lot of small meals and in between eating exercise and if you have a gym around with a sauna get into it.

Answer 16

if you are exercising and eating healthy then you are at a healthy weight if not that is what you need to do. do not stop eating or eat less just change what you eat. Instead of fast food burgers get salad or instead of chips eat fruits or veggies. Height and muscle mass also play a roll in weight- if you have more muscle you will weigh more so don't lift weights for exercise do cardio.

Answer 17

the only way to loose weight is to burn more calories than you take in.

this means two options: control what you eat, more activity

here's a few things that you can try.

Control what you eat:

Keep a journal, write down everything that you put in your mouth, food, water, juice, everything. Also (something that helped me) write down how you feel in the following hours after you eat the food, this is how i learned that certain foods that i loved actually gave me headaches, or gassy. This way in about a week you can see EXACTLY what you are eating.

Find alternatives. Most people can't quit cold turkey, so find healthier things that you can eat that will satisfy. instead of cold stone, try frozen yogurt.

Dont eat dinner infront of the TV. they have found that people that eat dinner infront of the television eat 20% more than those who don't. so sit at the table and eat (if your by yourself turn on the radio, or read a book while you eat).

Eat more :) - Usually we tend to go for the sweet stuff because our blood sugar is low... we grab the sugar, our blood sugar spikes, and then crashes lower than where we started. the problem is this is a revolving door. so try to eat smaller portions with more frequency. i.e. every 2-3 hours.

MODERATION, it's ok to cheat every once in a while, just dont go overboard, have in your mind a limit before you start. i.e. instead of getting the super large size, get the small size.

Dont beat yourself up over it, it's an up hill battle and as long as you are going in the right direction, you'll get where you want to be.

More activity:

More activity means that you burn more calories.

START SLOW.

Most people think exercise, think the gym... this isn't the only activity, a simple walk around the block each day can increase activity.

Make sure that you do something to move around atleast 30 to an hour everyday. as you start to get used to it and more comforatable increase the activity (if your walking around the block try jogging around the block.)

If your going to go to the gym and you dont know what your doing, start out with a personal trainer, this way you have a good starting point.

Turn off the tv. instead of spending hours infront of the t.v. do something that will get you moving.

look into resistance exercise, this is a two fold because your burning calories and increasing muscle, the more muscle the higher your metabolism (this means you burn more calories even while your resting!). again start slow.

Make sure that what you choose to do for exercise/activity is something that YOU enjoy... this will make you more likely to stick with it.
