okay, so what you need to do is stop worrying. worry can make you eat more and, bing, 3 extra lbs. Start working out everyday. one day do legs and butt and abs, the next do arms and sides. running helps a LOT but you don’t want to work out so much that you gain weight from all those muscles you’ll be getting…. lol Try cutting certain foods out. cut down on soda and candy and basically junk food in general…hope i was helpful! =) and btw, 97 lbs is not that big for a flyer. try aiming for… maybe 90-95 lbs… you dont want to be too skinny…73 is kind of drastic.
I will not answer your question because no sport should make you lose wieght. Either they except you or they don’t. DO NOT lose wight for a sport. You will regret doing this…stop cheerleading if people make you lose so much weight…cheerleading is not a good reason to lose weight.
First of all, idk why you wanna lose weight. You arn’t heavy at all. If you wanna be healthier then start eating more fruits and veggies and start like running or something. But you do not have to lose weight!
How old and tall are you? 97 pounds seems good.
And just to so you know, in order to be a flyer you don’t have to be the lightest cheerleader. A good flyer MUST know how to hold up her own weight in a hang drill. If you work on your core and improve your upper-body strength, you can prove to be a flier. I’m light, and I compete for The University of Kentucky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbo2HbME_Z4
I’m not the lightest on the team, but I’m a damn good flyer because I can hold my own weight up. Work on that, and THEN if the coach still does not think you are flyer material, you should start trying to lose weight.
Simply eat less calories and eat right. Stay away from the junk food, eat raw foods like fruits, vegetables, and stay away from the fast food, as well. The healthier you eat, the faster and easier it will be to lose weight. Do cardio about four times a week. Each time you go for a jog, try to reach 20 to 25 minutes worth it. Do not push yourself, as it will only get harder. Gradually increase the time-period of cardio.
If you have any more questions, send me an E-Mail. I will love to help you, as I have been cheering for two years on The Blue Squad for The University of Kentucky.
Stay focused on being healthy, not on becoming thin
Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motivation changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body’s health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body’s weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.
Lose weight slowly with small changes
Try to remember that “losing 15 pounds in two weeks” is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat. Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight. Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 1-2 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories. By making small changes like eliminating 250 calories a day from food and expending 250 calories a day from exercise, you can lose one pound (of mostly fat) per week. You can calculate how much time you need to exercise to burn 250 calories by clicking here. You can calculate your caloric needs by clicking here, and then subtract 250 from that number.
Clean your closet of the “fat” clothes. Once you’ve reached your target weight, throw out or give away every piece of clothing that doesn’t fit. The idea of having to buy a whole new wardrobe if you gain the weight back will serve as a strong incentive to maintain your new figure.
Bring the color blue into your life more often. There’s a good reason you won’t see many fast-food restaurants decorated in blue: Believe it or not, the color blue functions as an appetite suppressant. So serve up dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth. Conversely, avoid red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas. Studies find they encourage eating.
Unless you are only 3 feet tall I fail to see why you would need to lose a _quarter_ of your body weight. Focus on being healthy, flexible, & strong, and like UK told you stay tight when you fly.
If it turns out you don’t get to fly right now, then so be it. Every job on the team is important. Just do your best at whichever one your coach assigns to you and try to enjoy yourself. :^)
Good luck!
