In September 2013 I went to a convention as Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure time. It was the perfect cosplay for me at about 200lbs, since I was 'lumpy'! One of my motivations for losing weight has been for better cosplays. I started in June 2014 at 211lbs. Today I came home and tried on my Bishamon (from the anime/manga Noragami) cosplay (bear in mind that I still need a black bikini top for this cosplay!) and was AMAZED at the difference! I was so proud! I don't think I'd really seen a difference until now. I'm 52lbs down with 19lbs to go to get to goal weight of 140lbs (at 5'7). I also dug out the same LSP cosplay to see how I looked.

Before, 200-210lbs(ish), September 2013:

After, 159lbs, today:

    Wow! What a difference! Gratz :-)

    (Inappropriate comment: impressed / jealous with how great your rack is looking even though you've clearly lost *loooaaadds* of weight)

    Thank you! Yeah, I'm glad that they've gone down in good proportion. I've dropped a lot on the band but only one cup size :blush:

    Mathematical!! You look awesome! I've been stuck at 215 for the past year, and now inched up to 220... It's so frustrating, but this is inspiring. I love me some cosplay!

    I think both cosplays look amazing! And wow, what a difference! Great job! I did my first cosplay last fall (Midna from LoZ TLP - pic is in my photos on here) and I totally get how awesome it feels to combine weight loss with a costume you feel great in. Congrats on your success, and have fun at your next con!

    I love Noragami so much! Yukine's my favourite but at 5'7 (and with breasts like mine...) I wasn't really able to cosplay him. I still need to get the belts, the black bikini top and the violet coloured contacts, but other than that I'm good to go.

    Thanks! I couldn't be bothered to paint myself purple this time, it was tricky to wash off xD

    Every skin color is beautiful.
    I always wanted to cosplay. I really don't want to show human skin though.

    Time to lift heavy MarziPanda.
