How much should a middle school flyer weigh? (cheerleading)?

I'm 5'2, and I weigh 89 pounds but the bases say i'm too heavy to fly now. I'm 14, and i flew last year but i was wondering how much a flyer should weigh. I know you will all say "it doesn't matter as long as you have good skills" but honestly, my school just chooses based on weight, not skill. (there's a really unbalanced 62-pound girl flying this year and it has been a train wreck. honestly, how much do you think a flyer in middle school ( 7th-8th grade squad) should weigh. how much did middle school flyers you knew weigh, anything would help. I've actually also been told I have to drop 10 pounds if I want to be a flyer in high school next year, and I'm not sure exactly how i can do that… any ideas?
Answer:

All but one of the flyers on my team are less than 5 feet tall. Theyre all under 90 pounds (as are you). Your pretty lightweight for your height. You shouldnt loose ten pounds; if you can stay a flyer, then your bases just have to be able to support you. Maybe you just need sturdier bases. But if you are going to try loosing a pound or two; i suggest try avoiding anything with ingredients ending in -ose. And cut down on milk and dairy products; theyre bloating and cause gas. Dont stop eating dairy completely, its not healthy. Either way - try a nightly workout. Planks, 6 inches, crunches, anything to help with your stomach. Im 5'6 and i weigh 140, consider yourself lucky for being a flyer, im stuck as a base & back.
