Ht. 5', Wt. 184 - hey,
when me and my squad went to cheering camp, me got measured for our uniforms. they dont make one big enough for me. the top ends right at the top of my ribs, and the skirt starts at my bellybutton and ends right below my butt. my belly sticks out and pooches over the top. the coach told me that i either had to lose a lot of weight, or they wouldnt allow me to cheer. im out for the season with a knee injury. and now i wont be able to exercise at all! help me!

If you have a swimming pool near you that is open year round (perferably heated indoor pool), you could swim. That really doesnt hurt the knee that much, unless it's REALLY bad. Also, if they are discrimminating against you because of your weight, do you really want to be a part of it? That is one of the many reasons why I can't stand cheerleading, but, it's your choice.

well , although your lower body is injured, you can still work your upper body. lift weights, etc. could you still walk? because even slowly walking for like 45 minutes a day can help. and eat healthy. that can help to. good luckkk !!
