Any thing is possible. I weigh 188 pounds and 2 years ago i lost 15 pounds, but I gained it all back. So, yes you can do it.

well- i can tell you that half of the cheer leading squad at my school is overweight. all of the cheerleaders look very different- i think it just takes talent or however they decide cheerleaders to get on the squad...

I tried out for cheerleading a couple years ago at 160 lbs. (i'm 5'3") and I did make it. In fact through all the hard work and determination I had to be the best I could as a cheerleader I lost about 40 lbs. You can do it just keep working at it!

hey, i think with a lot of work you can lose the two sizes in two months. I kno ur situation with being a lil over weight and trying out for cheering. I'm 5'5 and 163. I really wanted to try for cheering but couldn't cuz i hurt ma knee right before tryouts. I then tried out for dance team and i didn't make it. I kno that their decision on whom they picked wasn't affected by ppl's weight or not. In fact i kno larger cheer leaders on ma schools squad. Keep ur head high and hope for the best. If u don't make it, don't let it get to you.....just try harder next time! best of luck~~~~~~~*CHeLLiE*~~~~~~~~~~
Ps. do u wanna be diet buddies......my aim is lilsurfgurlie
