Hey guys My name is Camille I'm 28 and over 300 lbs. I've been on here on and off. Took a hiatus recently due to health issues and stress but am back on now that I'm no longer trapped in the house due to winter and am actually able to get out there and walk.

I'm a big cosplayer, love sci fi, comics, anime, Teen Wolf, huge shipper of all the times.
Just looking for geeky friends who want to support each other. I also post a lot of photos on instagram to help keep myself accountable.

    It's not even con season here yet!! I sadly only go to local cons in my area. One day i will travel to the bigger cons. But I still love the ones I do go to.

    Around May is when things really start kicking off for me locally. theres only one big con in my area. Anime North but then I have a few smaller ones following. I'd love to go to the states one time to a real big con like Katsu or Colossalcon :3

    We are planning on eventually making it to Anime North one day, I've never been to Toronto so it would be a great excuse. Katsu is deffinitely one of my dream cons!

    It's pretty great although one of the issues is that it feels very much an outdoor con. Toronto is one of my favorite cities in the world <3

    Hello Everyone I'm a cosplayer, too. :smiley: I only go to the local cons for now but my big ones is at the end of May. (Animazement) I like to do Sailor Moon cosplay and keeping trim to fit back into my outfit every year is a good motivation to stay healthy. I really wanted to meet other cosplayers on here for support.

    I cosplay! Not as often as I would like, but hopefully as my kids get a little bigger and we go to Comicon as a family each year, I'll start doing it more.

    I am losing for my health. But now I'm actually worried about working on any of my costumes due to not fitting into them come con time XD.

    I don't cosplay but my husband and daughter do. I am the seamstress/shwag carrier. Not that I'm not into cons too (I live near a particularly large and famous one, and I worked at it for years). I have also done a fair amount of historical costuming. We generally go to the smaller cons now, but manage to get to quite a few. I'm quite a bit older than you all (47 - old school girl nerd), but I'm happy to be friended and provide input on costuming stuff.

    Sent a message but feel free to add me! Would love to feel okay about cosplaying again, right now I feel too big. Anime and manga, some comics, sci-fi and fantasy...we love it in our household :) Hubby is big on Star Trek and Robotech, I am eclectic but love fantasy and anime, and our kid's most recent cosplays were as Levi and Kineki.

    I love cons I have been to all the pax cons, e3, San Diego CC and go annually to mega con here in Orlando. I am hoping next year I can pull off a good cos. Be cause right now the only characters I can pull off are Peter griffin the fat x-wing pilot from Star Wars and maybe the blob.

    I've done a few cosplays(here are a few) but have only managed to go to local cons. I'd love to go to bigger ones one day.
