    Woah! SDFGHJKL! Your Iroh is amazing! And hell yeah for Zuko! I'm hoping, when I've toned up a bit and my flexibility has improved, to cosplay as Ty Lee!

    Oh wow! I saw Karl Urban this year at Supanova! He's so hot! Hehehe! XD

    Hehehe, yes, I think meeting your bf on Wow contradicts you as a nerd! But that's nothing to worry about! OMG! Yes, as much as I think Jessica Nigri sexually exploits her characters a little too much (Teemo...really!), she is till a great cosplayer and has an A-MAZ-ING Body!

    Haha, yea I would like to do Iroh again when I have lost a little more weight. Maybe I will try it next year :)

    That sound's awesome! Need to get a whole avatar crew going lol. I want to get down enough so I can do young Iroh.

    Yes! Hi! I'm a cosplayer!

    Last year I did a panel at our local convention called 'Big and Beautiful Cosplay', teaching bigger people that they could cosplay too.

    Now here I am, aiming to lose weight, and when I do, I'm SO cosplaying Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!

    Definalty! An Avatar cosplay group would be AMAZING!

    I believe everyone can cosplay, big or thin, everyone should do it if they want. For me personally, I'm losing weight so I feel healthy again, not particularly for cosplay (Although it is great motivation). I love my body, but I think it will appreciate me a bit more if I stop treating is like a trash can you know?! That's why I really despise those 'Top 5 worst cosplays' or those 'Fat people can't cosplay' threads and all that. They really do disgust me because everyone should and can cosplay, no matter their size, gender or nationality! Sorry for that, I rant a lot about cosplay discrimination!

    I understand what you mean, I think it should be everyone's ones personal choice. People should not judge other people just because they enjoy something. No one in America cares on Halloween if you don't fit what you are dressing up as :P. At the same time I prefer to only do cosplay that fits my current body, so for me it would be awesome to get down to a weight I could cosplay some of my favorite people. Like Balmung from .hack//sign, and Onizuka from GTO <3 I can't wait.

    Totally true! Defianly agree! Yes, as I do too. I try to choose cosplays that fit my weight. I'm not particularly overweight but you won't see me wearing a cosplay that requires minimal clothing or a bikini of yet. Since we're showing cosplays, felt I should hope onto the wagon (Which is ironic since I just hopped onto my dad's wagon a moment ago!) XD

    The first one I made and the second I bought. I was too lazy to sew it myself! XD I'll have more photos up on my profile soon though. I'm cosplaying as Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony in less than a month. After that, it's Elizabeth from Bioshock infinite, Misa from Death note, James from Harry potter (Marauders Ver.) and then Hatsune Miku. SO much sewing! XD

    I would love to cosplay, although never actually done it yet. Azula, Rayne, Jill Valentine, Sophitia and Morrighan Aensland being the top ones for me (no way can I pull those off now :P)
    Either that or a High/Drow elf... or Zelda if I'm feeling particularly fun.
    Failing that, I love anime and computer games. Hehe

    Add me if you like x

    Oh wow! You should defiantly do a Jill Valentine! She's one of my favourite characters! I've always want to do Zelda, more particularly for her design, I'm not a fan for her character as much as I am for Link. Perhaps I will cosplay as Link one day!

    I have never been to a comic/anime convention even though I would love to go one day. Honestly, one of my drives to getting fit is dressing up. I love Halloween and my last few costumes have been on the "nerdy" side.

    Here is a comparison of me from Halloween '11 as Fionna from Adventure Time at around 200 lbs
    vs.
    Halloween '12 as Pinky Pie from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic at 165 lbs
    Halloween11vs12.jpg

    And this year, since I have lost more weight, I am feeling confident in trying to pull off going as David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust era). When I told a co-worker about this, she decided that she will go as David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King from the Labyrinth. We want to get a whole bunch of people going as different versions of Bowie. :happy:

    My husband is a gamer/fantasy/comic nerd which has kind of rubbed off a bit on me. I love super heroes and cartoons and game a little.

    Ahhhhhhhhh Fionna cosplayer!!!! Adventure time rules!!!!

    I have a friend who's been wanting me to join her in cosplay, but I don't want do while I still feel so uncomfortable about my weight. I can't wait until I can join her.

    Haha yes it does! That night, I had run into a guy who went as Finn in his pajamas. I think it would be fun to dress up as Flame Princess sometime.

    @ Dream24601: Sailor Neptune is my favorite Sailor Scout! I would love to do Sailor Moon cosplay, because I'm old school like that. ;)

    I'm a huge geek. ^_^ I don't plan on going to any conventions this year due to money issues. I agree that they are a great reason to shed some pounds, especially if you have costumes that you worked your *kitten* off to make that no longer fit your body!

    +1 to that!! I'm looking forward to the next neko nation to dress up again...i just went as generic kitty this time :P

    This is me in outfits and usual getup (also at my heaviest) :)

    Oohh! I have a major interest in becoming one although, due to my size, nothing really fits me. I'm willing to spend the money on brands and such (Bodyline is good too) but I'm just too large to fit. I can't wait though! Becoming a Lolita is a major inspiration for me!
