/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

[Anonymous No.7510593]

I'm 5'7", US 12-14. I have 36A cup. Slightly overweight, but not hugely obese. Pic semi-related, had to badly photoshop them to have smaller boobs.

I'm trying to get /fit/ so I can cosplay a larger variety of characters but can't seem to find any characters that will work "well" with my body type in the meantime. Are there options or do I have to suck it up and not cosplay?

I imagine I will be able to cosplay cutesy characters once I get thinner, since I already have dfc. Height is "eh" for me, not really concerned about being "too tall" for a character, but probably wouldn't cosplay a kid.

Do that high fat diet that burns everything.

My roommate lost like 10lbs in a week.

Mostly water weight but holy shit in a month he looks way diff.

[Anonymous No.7510608]

Look for characters that have full skirts (peticoats, ect) that can kind of disguise your hips. You can also pad out on top. Get a VS bombshell knockoff. There are tons of tutorials on adding clevage and boob.

Also don't be afraid of spanks and other shapewear to smooth yourself out.

>I have a western body-type but want to cosplay characters drawn by Asians

Frankly I wouldn't fucking worry about it lady. Get /fit/ for the sake of getting /fit,/ don't go full-retard by trying to look like some kawaii desu desu schoolgirl, seriously.

No thanks, don't want to lose 10lbs in a week. Saggy skin bro. Losing weight takes a while, 1-2 lbs per week is good and that's what I've been doing for the past couple months.

>>7510608
I like my dfc though, but that's a personal preference. Oh yeah, shapewear is a good idea!

My only problem with being chubby and cosplaying is that I hear people all the time being like

>good god cosplay to your body type

I have a similar problem, OP. I'm losing weight but it's hard to find cosplays to do in the "in between" period. My boobs are gigantic though >_< I kinda wish they weren't.

As for getting /fit/ my most successful attempt at weight loss has simply been cutting calories. At my best I restricted my diet to about 1000 calories per day and lost 10 lbs in about a month. Let myself go a little bit since then and gained 2lbs back, meh. MyFitnessPal is an awesome app/website for calorie counting, I love it.

My coworker also uses an app called Couch to 5K (or something like that) to get herself into running more. She's doing it about 3x a week and losing weight steadily.

As for costume suggestions, if you're a fan of Pokemon or Animal Crossing a lot of those characters can be cosplayed with a larger body type and still look great, esp. original designs of gijinka like pic related.

Good luck, anon! If you want a fellow cosplay weight loss buddy I'm totally game. Need some motivation myself.

Why don't you like big boobs? Unless you're trying to cosplay loli characters I don't see how it's a problem. ):

1000 calories is way too little if you're exercising too, imo. Even without exercise 1200 calories is about as low as you want to go is what I've heard. I'm definitely cutting the calories though, just to a point where I am not always hungry (1200 - 1500 calories per day). I need to exercise more as well!

I've heard of the couch to 5k challenge, I'll have to look into that more. I just have TERRIBLE knees ha. I mostly workout at home and in the gym, no running.

I love Animal Crossing, that's a good suggestion! I have a bunch of favorite characters from that. And thank you for the good luck, you as well! That would be cool to have a weight loss buddy, where do you suggest connecting?

Different anon. I love big tits on other women, but I would hate to have them and am really glad mine are smaller-average. They seem like they'd bring a lot of unwanted attention, would not age well, would be uncomfortable, and would probably make me feel fat when I'm not. Just my unsolicited two cents on why someone wouldn't want huge boobs.

Why are there people here actually trying to convince OP to not get /fit/?

There really isn't any wrong reason to get yourself into shape, because in the end it benefits your completely. If OP looks like those pics, then when she gets into shape she'll have dem hips and thighs with a small chest which is the best.

[Anonymous No.7510877]

>>7510847
I really like my small breasts, too. They'll stay perky for years haha, plus I do actually want to cosplay some cute characters. A lot of girls want big boobs, never heard that big boobs make someone fat though.

>>7510862
I think just one person kind of said to not worry about it, everyone else encouraged it. I'm gonna keep doing it!

[Anonymous No.7510919]

Actually, since it's kind of in the same vein. I really don't feel like making a thread asking for pregnant characters. I'm 5'4" and I was on the pudgy side to begin my measurements were prior to pregnancy were "40-30-42" I've got Osono on my list for AX since I'll be about 7 months along then. I was also possibly thinking Pandy from dead leaves but I think I may be to pudgy to begin with to do Pandy. I figure I could probably do one more costume and concentrate the rest of my energy on my husband's costumes.

[Anonymous No.7510933]

>>7510877
Yeah, staying perky longer is a big plus for me. And I didn't say big boobs will make a girl fat, just that they'd make me feel fat. I've struggled with an eating disorder, so I think having a bigger chest and seeing that "thickness" in the mirror would make me perceive myself to be fatter, even if it's just tits, know what I mean?

That recent anime movie with the lady that fuck a werewolf and they have wolf kids. It's a really cute movie as furry as it sounds. The mom is pregnant for half the movie so it's possible.
Maybe pregnant Nagisa

Wolf children Ame and Yuki. I've seen the movie and recently read a manga adaption of it. It's a sweet movie. My husband might be up for doing the human version of the wolf man since he's a bit taller then me, average build(though the character's kind of lanky) and pretty simple clothing..

just start counting your calories. Just judging from pic, I'd say you would need to take in ~2000 - ~2300 calories to sustain yourself.

Take it down to 1800 or so. Nothing too drastic.

If you want to "accelerate" your fat loss, try doing a calorie deficit while getting low-fat foods. This is so your body uses your fats rather than the food's first.

[Anonymous No.7511194]

>>7510618
>I like my dfc though

Thats cool too, I'm not saying you shouldn't but you don't have to limit yourself in choices because you can always pad out. I'm just saying, if you want to cosplay someone with a big rack you can still achieve that.

[Anonymous No.7511203]

>>7511192
To maintain my weight, I went to a calculator and it said ~2000 calories. 2300 would be me gaining weight. I haven't gained weight in a while though, which is good. Apparently to lose about 1.8lbs per week, I need to eat 1550 calories per day, based on the same character.

Are you sure about low-fat? I heard that getting more fats than carbs is a good thing.

Your body needs carbs for energy. Low carb diets aren't very good. Eat carbs like oats, sweet potatoe, veggies, and quinoa

[Anonymous No.7511230]

>>7511203
You can do low carb, but you will be very tired and most likely burn out.

Do some light exercise (15 minutes of power walking or maybe a treadmill, but actually sweat) and just get the low-fat stuff at the store. Trust me, stick to the deficit and you will lose weight.

Go crawl out of the basement, stop fapping to anime girls, and stop sending your mother to do your shopping, and you might encounter various bodies, including pear shapes that carry less fat in their boobs and everything in their hips and thighs. There are even great exaggerations of shapes. Such as apples who would wear size 3x in tops, but have to wear a size 6 in pants because they have no ass to fill 3x pants. I see these everyday.

Actually I did Dukan with my mom and sister where you have lots of protein and the only carb yo get is through vegetables. It's hard to stick with but it helps if you have a partner. Your body thinks it won't be getting carbs so it starts burning fat reserves. The little carbs you get from the vegetables keeps you from going into fatal ketoacidosis. We each lost at least 30 lbs in a couple months.

>>7510618
Saggy skin isn't really a huge problem unless you're losing 50+ lbs in a short period of time. As long as you're young your skin is still pretty resilient and can morph with you.

You can get reductions covered by most insurances if you can bullshit a reason for it to be considered medically necessary- "my neck hurts/I have permanent or semipermanent bra strap grooves or marks on my shoulders/my back hurts", etc.

As long as you go at it determined to get it and can convince a surgeon in a consult that you NEED it, it's easy. You gotta be able to sell that shit though.

Sorry for super slow response anon!

As for boobies, the other anons made good points. They bring a lot of unwanted attention (no matter what I'm wearing there's almost always cleavage) and its hard to find actually nice clothes that are designed for large boobs. If I wear a fitted top they stick out like a sore thumb, if I wear looser tops I look like I weigh 10-20lbs more than I actually do. Even sewing my own clothes is tough because patterns are designed for average sized boobies.

I don't exercise, so 1000 calories/day was working for me and I didn't feel exceptionally hungry all the time, at least once my body got used to small portions. But yeah, if you're running you'll definitely want to take in at least 1500.

I hate running too! I'm actually allergic to both sunlight and my own sweat (no lie) so its hard to find an exercise regimen that doesn't turn me into a red, hive-covered itchy mess. Sigh.

Anyway, left my email her for you to contact me, let's be cosplay weight loss buddies! :D

I'm guessing we're talking about the keto diet. Pretty much atkins for those not familiar.

I did the diet for like 3 months and dropped 30 pounds. Granted I'm a supermcfatty, but it really made a difference in my life. I recommend this diet to anyone who is severely overweight.

Basically you cut out all sugar and all carbs. Eat mostly fat and meats. I like to eat, and I mainly liked to eat shit like burgers so being able to eat the best parts of a burger was really easy. Instead of getting buns you get a lettuce wrap. Grilled chicken instead of fried, salads and veggies , sour cream like you wouldnt fucking imagine.

It's really hard to curb that sweets craving but there are really good keto blogs out there where you can find sweets recopies. Honestly it made me a better baker and chef over all because I learned how to prepare all kinds of foods.


Now if you're looking to drop like 10 pounds, exercising and eating healthier is better. But if you're seriously overweight, like $50+, I recommend looking into keto and maybe discussing it with your doctor if you're super worried.
