So, I had a lot a lot of bad photos taken of me last year, but the final straw were those that were taken at Chicago TARDIS last November. I was so super excited to cosplay, hang with fellow whovians and meet Doctors, but when I saw the pictures, it took all the wind out of my sails. This one was ok, but the second really was a punch in the gut.






I ate salads the rest of the weekend, logged onto MFP the second I got home and have been on the logging mission every day since.


I met Matt Smith in early May, but alas the picture doesn't really work for the weight loss progress photo. Oh well, I still got to hug Matt Smith




Mid May, the Twin Cities area had their first dedicated DW convention in 20 years. One of the guests of honor was Sophie Aldred, aka Ace. Ace is my favorite companion, and I listen to a lot of her in audio, more so than watching classic who, so Ace is a voice in my head rather than an image. So, every time Sophie talked, I got all giggly cuz it's Ace, she's there, she sounds just like she does in the audio I was sitting in the front row during opening ceremonies and she pointed out my outfit to Deborah Watling (Victoria, companion of the second Doctor) from the stage.




These photos work better for the progress shot, although they're not great. I bought the dress at the end of March for a wedding and it's now too baggy.







And, here's my cosplay progress pic, which I think shows the progress much better than my actor shots.





The plan is to continue onward and downward and have fabulous cosplay and Doctor photo ops this November at or near to my goal weight. Stay tuned for further progress! I'm hoping to be down to 155 (50 lbs lost) by my convention in early July. No big who stars to get pictures taken with, but there will be more cosplay
