I think with the way the economy is, clubs are getting pickier and pickier about their hiring and firing on a whim. I'm sorry this happened to you. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and find another club. Weight isn't the only reason why girls get let go. Body mods, their look isn't what the club wants, etc.

That's shitty. If you think the club is worth it and WANT to lose a couple pounds, then go for it, but the good thing about stripping is that there are generally several other clubs in the area that'll take you. Try not to let this bring you down and just find somewhere new to make your money!
that sucks. i'd try to get hired at a different club. you are at a very normal, healthy weight. maybe you don't carry it well, though? you probably don't need to lose weight. but you might need to build a bit of muscle and drop a bit of fat. don't starve yourself. get to a gym and lift some weights.
i'm 5'4 and weighed 155 and wasn't fat listed, even though the club i was at at the time started telling some girls to lose weight or get fired. i was actually a little disappointed because i wanted to lose weight and needed some kind of external motivation, but couldn't get it. i carry extra weight better than most people, but i look fucking hawt when i'm thin.
i think all clubs should encourage their dancers to look their best. fat i was "good enough", but i make so much more money when i'm in shape. lots of guys like bigger girls, sure, but the ones who like thin usually spend more.
I was fired for being too fat back in June - I posted a thread about it here. But I think there were other factors contributing to me being fired.
Judging by your stats, you don't that large at all! Weird that they would fire you outright like that. *hugs* It's not fair, because men really do like all body types and I do really well dancing, but sometimes club managers are narrow minded and assume that the only thing men want to see is what THEY want to see, y'know? Chin up honey, you don't sound big at all. Take care and go to a better club where they treat you right!
XOXO!
I've never been fired for being too fat but have been rejected for it. The irony is I was never larger than a size 8 while dancing (normally a 6). Many clubs want extremely skinny girls.

I am 5'6 and 140 pound i did not have any problem at all... especially i have curvy booty nice tits ... i dont understand why they fired u...
What club were you working? Maybe try some other clubs on Broadway, they usually have a pretty wide variety of girls.
I've never been fired for being too heavy, but even at a size 2 the manager at Hustler Club in San Francisco used to rag on me for having an ass - in a none complimentary way. He actually got me to the point of being paranoid about it.
I've never been fired for being too large.
I've been "not what we're looking for" but never "too large".
Honestly... the difference between what clubs consider to be an acceptable size vs an unacceptable size can be as little as 10 pounds sometimes.
Often it's not that you need to lose weight... so much as that you just need to tone things up so you look tighter/smaller.
I am your height and weigh 150 and I make good money at my club and was hired at this weight!
I live in Georgia though so guys in the South like curves. The skinny girls at my club don't make half as much as the heavier girls.
Yes, Clubs are getting stupider and stupider.
Unless you're eating very bad right now/ not excersising I think I would just find another club. If you're going to lose the weight it has to be a change you can keep long term--or at least as long as you want to work at that club--I think it would be much less stressful for you to just find another club you like? You don't want to constantly be stressing about your weight, especially with your stats, I wouldn't think you would be too big at all. Some clubs are wierd that way. Most will refuse to hire you if they think you're too big not fire you afterwards :s
Its abt where you carry your weight,I am 5"5 and 120 but my measurements(sp) are 32B-25-36 my weight is in my butt and its bubbly and tight. So maybe you do appear over weight say,if you are carrying your weight in your stomach,waist,or thighs. I work at a Hustler and our manager came in recently when we had jesse jane as a feature,he seen two girls who are not really acceptable for dancing,one who belly fluctuates up and down and she seriously looks pregnant and is also older,and another who is chubby beyond stripper standars,not naturally pretty AT ALL but never wears make up lol,well he told managment that those to were never allowed to be on stage but they can still work the floor.
yay! a bigger girl like me. I'm 5'4" and weigh around 155. YAY! ::) gives me the warm fuzzies to hear something like that. :D I always have loved thicker girls. Although, I actually tend to go for the very trim/thin girls whenever I am sexually interested in a woman. (I'm Bi).
ANYWAYS! You know, 5'5 and 127 is NOT fat. Don't let that club warp your sense of self, your thoughts about your weight, and your feelings about your looks. that is bullshit. Maybe they enjoy thinner women? Some women naturally are thin, that is totally ok. I am not going to lie and say I hate thin women. They sometimes eat like none other but are really small....they're just metabolically blessed! haha! Some aren't and have to work at it. It's kind of like "some men like a good hamburger, some like a good steak" kind of thing. There are always going to be the clubs that want more women that are a little under what I'd say are "trim". That's totally alright...but what they did to you was shit. :-[
Totally not cool.
...but who am I telling?
Me telling you this is not news to you. I guess I just had to post something and this is as good a post as I could possibly think of...I'm lame.
Tell me something I don't know. :D

yea really...I was told that I was "too fat to go up on stage" by the weekday dayshift manager Dave. I know I am thick, but I am NO heffer. It was really not nice of the day manager. On weekends though, the weekend day manager was really sweet to me and didn't care who went up there. I remember I'd see women that were bigger than me go up on stage during dayshift on weekdays though./:O Also, Dave did not much care for me. So I used to think to myself "coincedence that I can't dance on stage and Dave doesn't really like me...I don't think so".
what the fuck, you know? It PISSED ME OFF. argh! >:(
managers do stupid things. Sometimes they are irrational and keep the worse looking ones while firing someone perfectly fine. That's just how they are. Happened to me before, too. Do what feels right for you and only change if that's what you want for yourself, nobody has the right to tell you how to look but you.
According to the chart below, you are at a healthy weight for your height. If you have a medium frame, losing weight would be ill-advised. I'm sorry that manager fired you. He is a dummy.
