    I would love to have some friends in gaming and anime!! I have been losing weight for getting healthy, but cosplaying is a huuuge plus. I've been Yuki Cross form Vampire knight, and I have my Orihime inoue cosplay from Bleach. I love making props. My brother and I are going as Magikarp and are going to perform a type of "Lion dance" to Summon the dragon, AKA, Red Gyarados. gonna be awesome. I'd also love to do Winry Rockbell fom Full Metal Alchemist, and Jack Of Blades from Fable. I'd love some steampunk OCs too. :) There are just sooo many things I want to do, but where i live, I have no friends to do them with. :/ Going to MTAC though. Just ordered my tickets. Can' wait. :)

    I love anime! I'm a big cosplayer myself. That's great motivation to work with. The nice thing about cosplay is there are so many different characters and body types out there, too.

    Welcome, & good luck on your journey!

    Cosplaying is so fascinating, I've considered getting into it.. but, I don't think I could pass as any celeb/character haha.
    I dig games & anime. :)

    I love cosplaying, but haven't been up to much of it these last few years because of weight gain/loss of confidence. I'm working on losing it so that I can cosplay at next year's Planet Comicon and Naka Kon in KC.

    First off, Cosplaying is awesome! I've done it twice! Sadly, it's also am expensive hobby that I can't afford and I'm not a very good with sewing. However, great with boxes...I was the best Pocky Box EVER! Anyway. I'm not here to lose weight for cosplay, but I think it is awesome as one of your goals! If I could get into a weight where I could cosplay anything, I would be Chell from Portal, 1 or 2 because both versions are awesome. Also, I'd love to be a human Glados! or A human turret! Anyway, good luck with your goals!

    Dude that rocks. Shingeki no kyojin (attack on titan) is so hot right now. And if you get like Reiner, that would be crazy awesome!!!

    I wanted to get a group of people together before to do it. But The 3D maneuver gear...grrr.

    I used to cosplay a ton, but fell out of the hobby due to money concerns and then weight concerns. But I recently went to my first con since 2009 and I've been inspired to get back into cosplaying again. I'm still too self-conscious about my weight, but I'm hoping a specific goal will get me back on track again. Plus, I remember what a confidence boost it was feeling good about those costumes I worked months on. =D

    That's an awesome goal to be working towards! I personally haven't cosplayed yet, though I've been wanting to put together an outfit for Mrs. Peel from The Avengers for years now, but have had trouble finding the right gear, as well as guts to wear a 60's style catsuit. One of these days I'll get it together! I'd also be very enthusiastic about cosplaying as Ross Campbell's Glory, though I'd need to work on acquiring a few tons of muscle. Anyway, I wish you a lot of luck! Also, feel free to add me if you'd like!

    That's one of my goals too! :D I'm tied between Lady Deadpool or Dark Phoenix. I've never cosplayed before but it always looks like so much fun when I see people do it at conventions.

    If I set a cosplay goal it would be to go as my blood elf paladin on World of Warcraft. She is seriously sexy! :)

    One of my (many) reasons to lose weight is to cosplay Aeryn Sun from Farscape - that's a lotta leather!
    Go you!

    I've been cosplaying for 4 years, but over the years I have slowly gained weight. While my costumes have gotten better, I have gotten less photos and I personally believe my size is what has caused that.
    My cosplay goals are Lala from To Love Ru - Her fighting costume, and Motoko Kusanagi.
    Feel free to add me~ Also my MAL is http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Amura

    Hi lovely people,

    I'd love to go to a con and cosplay but haven't summoned up the courage yet! I'm an anime fan although I haven't watched a lot recently. Been playing League of Legends and FFVII recently.

    Add me :)

    Good luck. I think it really does help to have a goal in mind no matter what it is :)

    I am not so much into anime but am into gaming and Sci Fi and am also trying to slim for upcoming cosplay attempts.

    I have planned to go as River Song (Dr Who) to the Sci Fi weekender and then later in Aug hopefully going to Games Com in Cologne as a female Ryu from Streetfighter.

    I've also previously gone as Alice (America McGee) to Eurogamer http://clairedoescosplay.wordpress.com/
