    Anime, comics, gaming... yep, love all those things! Feel free to add me. I want to cosplay at comic con this year as River Song, so I'm hoping to trim down about ten pounds before then (Oct.). I log my food every day and have an open diary. Doesn't mean I eat perfectly every day though, but I do log even the bad days. :smiley:

    I'm not really into anime, but all of the other things are a definite yes for me! Big nerd here lol! In fact one of my goals for weight loss is to look better for a supernatural convention I'm going to in January! I wanna look nice in my photo ops!

    I love to cosplay as Leia at the geek conventions around here - one of my main goals the first time around was to feel confident wearing her metal bikini. Finally accomplished it last Halloween before my second pregnancy stretched me out again! Also really into gaming (met my husband on WOW), but I've drifted away from anime beyond a few of my favorites. Feel free to add me :)

    What a good thread! Anyone is welcome to add me as a support buddy - I could use a few more myself. I would love to be comfortable enough to do a cosplay someday too - but while I work I have time to decide and work on designs :)

    YAS! All things geek please! Just got tix for our local comic con in September *stoked!*
    I've not dine cospay yet. I *almost* did once, but chickened out. I'm just shy -_-

    I'm also an art student part time and hope to make some comics of my own one day!

    And it would be cool to have similar peeps on this healthy train with me.

    Well, I have never really done cosplay, although I did dress up like Ganondorf for a friend's birthday, and force him to beat me in ping pong before giving him his Triforce-shaped birthday cake. It was actually kind of hard because he isn't very good at ping pong.

    Definitely like anime and gaming - tabletop, board, and video. Currently running through Phantom Brave PC - I'd never played it since the PS2 version. Was a big comics fan back in the day but haven't read in years now.

    woo! yes! If you'd like to add me go for it! I love all of the above! Currently I am watching black butler. What's everyone else out there watching?
    My first Cosplay was Lulu from the FF series because of course I need a stupid intricate costume first! I still have it, and every time I move the box it's in I think "How did I wear this 50 lb dress for three days!?"

    I've been working my way through Fairy Tail on Funimation, and I recently discovered Hunter x Hunter, so I've been DVRing those every Saturday. I also discovered Silver Spoon on Netflix, which I've been watching off and on - I have to be in the mood for subtitles since it's not dubbed.

    Also, FF is wonderful! I'd cosplay as Lightning if I thought I could pull it off.

    Hmm, currently I'm watching Diamond is Unbreakable (the fourth story arc in the JoJo manga/anime series - yes, it's dumb, but entertaining).

    Also watching Illya season 3, mainly because I am a total sucker for anything in the Nasuverse. Finally it looks like a season with action in it again, and not just (somewhat creepy) fanservice.

    The other new one I'm watching is Re: Zero, because for some reason I like to punish myself by watching anime that are good but incredibly hard to watch sometimes. Erased was another such one recently.

    Haven't started to check out the new Danganronpa series that are coming out, but I enjoyed the first so I definitely plan to check out these as well.

    Really looking forward to the anime adaptation of chaos;child whenever that comes out. If there's one thing that catches me even more than the Nasuverse, it's the "Science Adventure" series by 5pb/Nitroplus.

    Hi! I'm new too! Definitely a geek, and I've done a little cosplay. I'm looking to get back in shape and improve my running-- because running makes me feel like a badass superhero! I just joined too and am looking for friends to keep me motivated.

    I love everything on this list!~ <3 Feel free to add me! :D
    About myself on those topics:
    Gaming: I play fighting games at the competitive level, those games include Street Fighter 5, KOF, and Tekken 6-7 etc. I'm not a pro or anything, but we do travel around the country for fighting game tournaments (and I may add, they have cosplayers at every one of them :p )
    I also play MMORPG's, my most constant one being Tera right now :)
    Anime: I'm only currently watching Re:Zero. I like anime, but I'm waaaay more into manga than anime!
    I started to pick up drawing anime/manga a few months ago and have been practicing since then. :o I look forward to having you guys as friends on here!

    I am so incredibly glad this thread exists. One of my main goals for losing weight is to look badass in cosplay!
    Also a HUGE gamer, have been for years which definitely contributed to my weight gain as I spend most of my free time gaming
    Also love anime/reading/all the fun stuff and the likes! YAY for this group! Everyone feel free to add me!

    I'm not into cosplay myself (although I like to watch it), but I am into all the rest. I'm not a good friend to add because I'm basically inactive on my wall, but feel free to add me anyway. I just wanted to pass by with a knowing nod and a smile to people with similar interests. Currently replaying the Mass Effect series.

    My gaming consists of WoW and War Dragons on the iPhone...lol. But I enjoy both when I get the chance. Trying to balance games and fitness.

    I like watching anime and Japanese fashion (lolita, gyaru, etc were one of my main reasons to lose weight), not so much cosplay- I do play video games, mostly WoW and sometimes Dark Souls 3 and Destiny on the PS4. c:

    Nerd here. :smiley: I actually collect video game systems and retro games (or what people would consider retro these days :lol:).

    I have always wanted to cosplay though. I've only been to one convention, but for some reason, I'm always nervous to go to it again despite how local it is.

    I just booked my hotel for my next convention. Currently working on losing and using my Nightingale cosplay from Skyrim as motivation :) I am also a gamer geek! I would love some like minded new friends XD
