    Not cosplaying, but I do have a Doctor Who Dalek dress I'd love to look bangin' in! I bought it last year and I only looked a little pudgy in it, after gaining 48 pounds last year, It'd prob either not fit, or I'd look like a boulder in it lol.

    Well for Halloween last year I did wear that dress and the Dalek headband. Lol. I'd cosplay if I had places to go! Limited opportunity in West Virginia.

    I don't cosplay, but I do costume...and yes, absolutely. I have a corset waiting for me! :smile:

    Well I'm going to Comic-Con San Diego this July and although I have not thought about cosplaying, I would definitely after I lose some weight!

    I'm losing weight for me, but I'm hoping that will be one of the side benefits. :smile:

    Ugh my weight was one of the things keeping me from cosplaying (that, and my skills as a seamstress are somewhat lacking). I don't really go to cons anymore, but maybe I can throw something together for Halloween!

    I have so much respect for heavier people cosplaying or costuming as skinny characters though. Seriously, props to you, you're braver than I am.

    I've always wanted to go to ComicCon, but it's so expensive. For some reason, Anime Expo is far cheaper. ):

    Hiya I'm in the same boat. Got my first con of the season May 24 weekend. Trying to work on toning my arms since all of mine are shoulderless costumes ><

    I live in Anaheim and WonderCon is here this weekend. I don't cosplay but I have to admit I enjoy seeing all the costumes walking along Harbor Blvd. this weekend.

    I am a big cosplayer but I am not losing weight for cosplay, losing it for my health. My weight will never stop me from getting into costume and going out and having fun :). I'm always looking for geeky friends on here if you want to add me :). I'm currently working on a hulk evening gown concept for Hal-con 2015

    I'm trying to! It's honestly the only thing still motivating me. I'd love to be able to cosplay

    It's definitely on my list. This time next year I want to cosplay Aeryn Sun. It's not a driving force, but it's definitely a perk I'm looking forward to.
