Leandra

Where did you get the pads for the helmet, they look like they would be comfy.

I was just able to fit into a pair of shorts that haven't fit me in 2 years. I also wore my officer this weekend and the pants were falling off of me.

I'm still 240lbs, but I just cut out most fast food, candy, non diet sodas, and constant snacking. I also increased the amount of veggies I eat in comparison to meats, and eat leaner meats now. It is also helps that the weather is above 0 now and we can get outside a bit. I also started LARPing. 72 hours running around constantly does it to you.

Just checked to see how much of a gap I would have on my ab and kidney pieces. And I am happy to announce that I don't need to put a shim in the side. I have dropped 9 lbs over the past week and a half. Evidently it was all belly fat cause it didn't fit around a week and a half ago. I meet that goal so I can now start my armor build.

I am trying to avoid a hasbro one, or I would cannibalize my son's blasters. He has a nice collection of toy blasters for a 4 year old.

Going to look into that. Much cheaper than the doopy doos one I looked at.

looked at the doopy doos site, found a blaster I liked. But it was $144 for shipping

I'm really new to armor so I have no idea where I would acquire a blaster. I am hoping to work towards EIB with my armor, so need to find out where I could get an appropriate blaster. I'm not really the best at making things like that (boffer weapons I can do, blasters not so much.) Any help that can be offered on where to go to get one would be great. Thank you. PS. I'm not sure if this is even where I should of posted this, so if it needs to be moved go ahead.

Happy early Birthday. and congrats on meeting your goals.

Just ordered some AM armor today and I'm going to order an RT-mod helmet and I will try to build to EIB standards, we have a couple around here.

Hey, just found this. I've been reading and makes me want to work harder. I am currently 245lbs and 5'6.5". I am told I don't look that big, but I don't always believe them. I actually just joined the VA's MOVE program, weight loss for vets. I really want to loose some weight cause I just ordered some armor today.I've been working on eating better lately. One of the things I have been doing is changing what I eat for lunch. There is a grocery store around here called Weagmans, they offer these $6 meals that you just heat and eat. They offer things like chicken french and baked tillapia and entrees with your choice of two sides. They have things liked steamed garden veggies, honey glazed carrots, and greens with almonds. I have been getting these for lunch lately instead of a big mac at McDonald. My 4yo son and I have also been doing a program that this same grocery store does where you pick a color or two each week and have to eat a veggie and fruit of that color each day. I love veggies anyways, but it has helped my son cause he is a picky eater. I have a Wii Fit but I haven't been able to use it in a while, need to get new cables to connect it to the tv with. I do get exercise though, I LARP. I go out once a month for three days non stop and fight with foam swords, staffs, and such. We practice at least once a week. I am trying to cut down on my gaming, but I love my dragon age. Hoping I can start losing more weight soon. Any ideas would be welcome, want to look good in my armor when it gets here .

Where would my brother find these. couldnt find anything about theem on ebay.

His first choice is a royal guard, but we arn't sure if we can get a helmet that would fit.

My brother is 6'4" 180lbs. He is looking at maybe doing a stormtrooper. He is having trouble finding armor that would work for him. All of the ones that we've looked at so far are for up to 6'2". We were wondering what would be best for him.
