Hi, everyone! I was wondering it any of you on here are into costuming at all? I love cosplay and one of my motivations for weight loss is to dress up like certain characters that I love. 
How about you?

Same here!!!! I would like to be able to dress up or down on some cool cosplays without worrying about my fat sticking out from dresses and such :laugh:
The Japanese just have to make their characters so tiny ;p I swear the best cosplayers look so accurate because they match the physical part so well
Sending a friend request your way ^^0 -
One of my goals is finally being able to wear Princess Leia's metal bikini to a convention! I have long dreamed of that day. :laugh:
Good luck!0 -
Same here! lol What kinds of characters do you want to dress up as?0
-
It looks like you're close to your goal! Keep it up!0

I started to cosplay last year. Prior to that, I had stringently avoided having any pictures taken of me. But if you're in costume at a con, it's hard to avoid the camera, so I got a huge wakeup call. Currently getting in shape to cosplay!0

Yeah lots of people will take your photo at a convention. :P I'm sure that you can do it!

Need to order some cosplays for kitacon but I have no idea what size I will be by the time they arrive in a month!
Need to order soon or wont be here in time for the convention.
Eep do I order them a couple inches smaller all over and hope i lose it, or order them my size now and risk them being baggy and falling off.
The bust area is my worst concern, because if too loose fall down, too tight squishy no breathy quad boob!0 -
I started copslaying while I was obese and continued through my weight loss into a normal BMI. While I would advocate that cosplaying is something that should be acceptable at any weight, cosplaying while in a normal BMI was a very different (and more positive) experience for me.
But, then again, making the costumes was always as much fun for me as wearing them.0 -

YES!
Ohmuhgeeze, this is a dream of mine. Mine are mostly of LoL characters ~ Syndra, Exiled Morgana, a sexy Super Teemo. Yes. Yes puhleeze!0 -
I would LOVE to cosplay. It's a pretty big motivator for me to lose weight so I can cosplay Asuna from SAO. If you look on my friends list you'll find quite a few others interested in it as well. Feel free to add me or any of them:)0

Yes!!! One of my biggest motivations is cosplay! I have a huge list of characters I wana go as 0
-
Welcome and best wishes to all of ya'll!
While cosplay itself isn't a big motivator for me, I am incredibly interested in LARP and other medieval recreation. Just hard to see myself rocking the leather armor look without the warrior physique to go along with it.0 -
Yes, of course! And Bump.0
-
I've done the Lara Croft thing....and that was SO much fun!0
-
If I lost some weight and had the extra money, I would love to do something Doctor Who related.0

I want to dress up for Dragoncon this year. Although I usually dress up for Halloween, this will be my first Con. I'm not exactly sure what I want to do, but since I will be there for 4 days, may do different costumes.
I was thinking Korra from Legend of Korra, Harley Quinn or Poison Ivy, Darth Malefecent, or some Steam Punk. I need to lose some weight so I can rock whatever I decide!
My old standby is Goth Vampire.0 -
Yes, I LOVE cosplay! Okay, so the only "character" I've cosplayed is Michael Jackson, but I also want to do some really slutty female characters that I don't feel comfortable with cosplaying right now, lol!
Cosplay is definitely one of my motivations behind losing weight and getting fitter. Even with just cosplaying Michael, he was SO tiny that I don't feel as confidant as I'd like to in my current body.0 -
My husband and I do Ren Faire every year in costume, and once a year we go to a relatively small gathering for a costume party we fondly call GeeXmas.
Well. I was posting images, but apparently... they came out huge. :P So nevermind.0 -

I've been going to Dragon*Con for a decade now and all of those characters would fit in really well. Most of us bring multiple costumes for the convention (I know people who change 2 or 3 times a day!) so pick your favorites!0 -

This is my current conundrum. My seamstress lives right across the street. Super convenient! But she requires a 3 month period to work on your costume. The one she did for me last year was a disaster
I went in for my measurements right before a really stressful time at work (stress at work = overeating on my part and no exercise). When it came time for the fitting 2 months later, it was too small *cries* She could luckily make it larger, but that was a horrible experience.
This year, I'm hoping for the opposite. I plan to 15 lbs further down when I go in for my initial measurements in April, but then who knows what will happen over the next 3 months?? Plus, I want to do the new Ms. Marvel, provided I get down to at least the halfway point of my weight loss. But who knows if that will happen before I have to do the commission. Argh!0 -
Me!! Did some Adventure Time and Gravity Falls cosplays in the past few years.. The last person I cosplayed was Mabel! Unfortunately though, no cons this year (I am more into KDramas/Asian dramas right now)! I lost the weight I needed last year during the summer (after the con unfortunately) but gained it back recently! Feel free to add me! c:0

Really? One of my cosplays that I want to do is Lara Croft as well! I love her new rendition the most out of all of them.

This is my everyday outfit.0

I am! This will be my first outing (May 2014, Dallas Comic Con) if I can get to a suitable weight, but I've admired it for years.0

I am too old for doing cosplay now, but I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!
If it was around when I was young I would have sooooooo dressed up. I am an excellent seamstress and I sculpt, so can you imagine how much I would have enjoyed the whole cosplay thing.
Since I'm too old for doing it myself now, I enjoy watching the cosplayers. I love going to cons for that purpose and also to meet certain Sci-Fi celebrities.
I watch any show on the Space Channel that involves cosplay and/or sci-fi makeup etc. and love every second of it!
I have been laughed at by most of my friends, they think I'm weird, should grow up, bla bla bla, but I don't let that stop me. I'll go to the cons by myself if no one wants to come with.
I admire all cosplayers. I have seen some extraordinary stuff, they are amazing! Many are true artists (with a geek heart, gotta love the geek).
Hope some of you guys posting in this thread also post some pics of your cosplay, would love to see them 0 -
I am!! I'm going to my fourth con this March. It's MTAC(Middle TN Anime Convention) I love cosplaying. 0

No such thing as too old to cosplay. I present, Captain Dad, who thought he was too old and not buff enough to cosplay Captain America:
