First of all, do not ever let weight stop you from doing things you really want to do. This is my big regret in life.
Second, ballet kicks butt, it is not an easy workout! You will be a very healthy girl, with a beauty that others will admire when you learn proper posture and gracefulness.
Leotards, tights & a dance skirt is usually slimming. Don't worry about going en pointe, you have time for that. When it is time to stand on your toes, your teacher will help you.
Good luck & Go dance!
