Getting in shape for cosplay - Support~

[Mibelle26]

So I purchased the 30 day shred video from Video on Demand on Amazon. Gonna give it a try today. It was recommended to me by another online friend and when I read the reviews they were all very good. Hopefully It works out well, if not Im gonna order more tae bo videos because those worked for me last time I lost weight. Ive been staying on track though with watching what I eat and all. Hope everyone is hanging in there! biggrin

I'm 5'8 and weigh 210 pounds. I am planning to cosplay for san japan, which is in five months. I am starting my diet tomorrow because it all became a reality that I wil be cosplaying as skinny toned people when I noticed I had almost the whole outfit complete and saw PUDGE gonk
I plan to lose at LEAST 40lbs(hopefully more) by then so I am going to start trying more healthy habits. This is a mini checklist so I can keep myself on the right track

☑ NO MORE SWEETS!
☑No more than 1 soda a week only if there are no other liquids around!
☑At least one hour of exercise a day.
☑If it is an option, WALK instead of drive.
☑DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!!!!
☑Check out the calories for once
☑Try not to eat after 6p.m.
☑Don't give up, think about how awesome I will look! XP

Holy moley!! Thread got even MORE popular!!

Anywho, down to business!!

Goal: 120

Current Weight: 135

I'm trying not to fall back into my, ahem, "bad habits" and lose my weight in a healthy way.

I've been keeping a food journal, listing the things i ate that day. I find writing out what i've eaten makes me think about it more. If it sounds like a lot, it most likely was. If it doesn't sound like enough, it probably wasn't.

Dance is getting a bit more intense, making me sweat more and more each class! Yeah!!

I'm taking a conditioning class and i suggest the Turbo Jam videos for anyone who's looking to gain muscle. My obliques and abs were so sore after, but i knew i worked hard 3nodding

Looks like we are at the same starting weight and have the same goal. Im at 136 and hoping to get to 120. I wont complain though if I lost a little more. smile

This is a really clever idea!!!

I too am trying to loose weight for cosplaying and even build me self-confidence for myself.

So in order to get to my dream weight of 125, which I've totally lost, I will cut all junk foods and drinks.
I must also withhold myself from eating so much bread...which is hard. TwT

Just bought a tredmil recently, so I'll finelly clean the clothes I have piled on it to actually use it for excercise! XD

Me and my girlfriend, both, will work out together and get to do the Vocaloid cosplay we've wanted to do for so long!!!
(Vocaloid Teto and Ted)


So I will update when I can of my accomplishments and hope to achieve my goal with the help and support of my fellow Gaians and cosplayers alike!

How tall are you? Height is a factor in the whole weight distribution thing, as you probably know. (I'm 5'6 3nodding )

I'm gonna join in too :]
Support is always nice.

I'm looking to lose about 15 lbs.
Gotta get on a proper eating schedule and cut back
on breads and eat more veggies and fruits.

Unfortunately, I can't start my diet until the middle of
April because as of now, I eat what's given to me Dx

However, I do exercise about 4 times a week for 20-30
minutes. I can only do light impact exercise. I either get
light headed and faint or some of my joints hurt.
I sound old, but I'm only 20, LOL.
But at least I'm flexible :b I like stretching.

But this summer when I move I'll be walking and jogging
around my new neighborhood. I know it'll be good for me.
But yeah, I don't trust my current neighborhood so that's
why I'm not doing that yet.

The con is at the end of July so I hope I at least lose 10 lbs.  

[Hypocritical Persecution]

My diet is working for me so far 3nodding I'm still eating desserts, and apparrently, visably losing weight.

On sunday, my mom asked if I had lost weight. I was totally surprised, because I hadn't been on a diet sticking to a diet for more than a week or two. The cardio I had been doing though, has been toning up my midsection, my thighs, and my butt 4laugh

I'm so glad that this is working, because next saturday I have this swim team awards ceremony that I'll be attending, and I hope to look as good as the other girls will, if not better xD

I'm not usually so much into vanity, but lately the only looks I've been receiving are from toddlers. I'd like people my own age to check me out thank you stare

Anyway, I hope your guys' diets are going well!  

[Fang253]

This is my weekly update:
I have not had any candy this entire week no matter how much my family tried to make me eat it.
I used to drink a soda for every meal and I only had 3 this entire week.
I have been doing exercises whenever i had time and Im starting to feel sore in all the places i wanna lose weight(AWESOME)

 

[Sauru]

I'm joining this...

Height :: 5'2 1/2"
Current Weight :: 13O lbs.
Goal Weight :: 12O lbs.
Unsuccessful things :: Cutting out sweets, cutting out chocolate, cutting out carbs, lowering my red meat intake, and The South Beach Diet

Successful things :: Running & strictly yogurt lunch
Build :: Athletic
I'm more or less trying to get in shape than really lose weight. xD

 

[Gothic Yaoi Supporter]

Gah... alright... Here I go T.T;;
Height::5,3
Weight::217
Goal by Comic Con((late July))::At least 160
Plan::My mum works for Jenny Craig and gets quite a bit of food, often. I plan on sticking strictly to that, adding a fruit/Veggie to every meal and eating something lightweight every 3-5 hours up until 7 at which I stop for the night. I'll be keeping a food journal and a workout journal, seperately, because I plan on excercising at least once every other day.

Why I decided to do this::For the past 3 months, I've been prepping for Comic Con ((Dressing as Itachi from Naruto)) and got everything except for the shoes. I go to get a Medium... the shoe size is perfect but the sock doesn't fit around my calf. I get an X-Large just to be safe and the shoe size is 3 times too big while the sock still doesn't fit. -.- It doesn't go higher than that and there are no other sellers on ebay or.. anywhere else I look for that matter. ((Besides Milanoo but.. I don't know what the lengths and such are and cant seem to find out -.-))
