text: am i too fat? im gonna try out for cheerleading and i want to know if im too fat for it and how much i need to weigh to be good at it. i am 15 and 5'3 and i weigh 115 pounds weight distributes itself differently depending on the person. but judging from your measurements, you don't seem at all. don't worry about being too fat for cheerleading, if you're good at it, they'll choose you. i'm sure your weight won't have to do with their decision.
