I know I'm a geek, but I love to dress up for Halloween, and one of my (small, but fun) motivators is to lose this weight so I can wear a few dream costumes. I think about it from time to time, and it's always nice imagining myself fully decked out.
At some point, I plan to be:
- Xena
- Lara Croft
- Power Ranger (probably the red one, pink isn't my thing)
- Cersei or Brienne from Game of Thrones
- Batwoman
- Cher or Dionne from Clueless
I could go on and on! But those are a few of mine, what are yours?

i love your game of thrones idea, i am addicted to the show roll on payday when i can afford the books as well! and i would much rather be Brienne than Cersei lol
Hmmm hadn't thought about it before... Maybe one of those dorky couple costumes with my boyfriend... Like Tarzan and Jane haha... Or a sexy French maid costume... I own a preschool and we dress up every year. I'm usually a witch or something (since I can make my own costume). Would be nice to be able to pick a hot costume off the shelf or order one online that isn't huge
I'm super excited for this one day! I love Halloween but I haven't dressed up since I was kid...it's no fun trying to find a costume for you and never finding one that fits. And sure I've made a couple ones myself, but I'd love to just pick something cute and sexy and add on to it.

I love dressing up!!!
I want to be: A spooky clown, Frank N Furter (Rocky Horror), Billy Bunter, a Golly, an angel. These a just some ideas. I love thinking it up!!

I love sexy costumes, and even at my fattest indulged that preference (the secret to sexy fat-girl costumes - rock the cleavage so they don't notice anything else).
My favorite "fat girl" sexy costumes are "ren fair wench" and Wagnerian Brunhilde "viking" opera singer.
It will just be nice to be able to to have other choices. The ren fair styles will still appeal to me, but I think I'll be ready to hang up the viking horns.
The main thing I'm really looking forward to is being able to show leg as well as cleavage.
I LOVE Halloween and I haven't fully participated in years. I've always wanted to dress up in one of those fancy medieval costumes and out for Halloween. I think I am going to make it one of my goals this year.
I am the same, kaplods!! I LOVE to dress up, I just wish there were more excuses!! I don't really let my weight stop me. I strongly beleive I should be able to enjoy clothes, dressing up and style, and I DO!
Oh, I always dress up, I definitely don't let my weight stop me. I love Halloween, this year I was the purple contestant from Nickelodeon's GUTS, and it was so fun. Last year I was Maleficent.
I just wouldn't feel comfortable wearing a Xena costume or something requiring loads of skin to be shown at my current weight. Not to mention the real, authentic versions you can rent don't come in plus sizes anyway.
Eyes on the prize, though. Even this Halloween, I expect to be a fair bit slimmer than I am now. It's just fun to think about all the nerding out in my future.
