30 lbs down AND an NSV

Posts: 33
So my family doesn't know about my losing weight ... which is easy considering they're on the east coast, and I'm on the west. I also didn't want anyone to know in case I failed epically. But not this time. I've lost 30 lbs this time since March 15, 2011. And it's different, because I'm actually taking it seriously. No fads. No gimmicks. Just a healthy lifestyle. I still have 60 to go, but I'm 1/3 of the way there!
Anyways, I broke and showed my sister photos today. She almost fell over, and couldn't believe my progress. She was ecstatic. She actually called me 'hot' - and I've never gotten that kind of compliment from her. I really needed it; I know there's a difference, but I didn't know there was that much of one. It really gave me a boost. I'm actually excited to go to the gym today. I never thought I'd say that!
SW: 250 lbs (height: 5'10)
CW: 220 lbs
GW: 160-170 lbs

Whats NSV? You tall girls are so lucky (sigh) I read your weight, but you look like you weigh 160.

You look great! I can't even believe your weight is what it is, you must be rather tall. I understand keeping it to yourself, I think that's why I like MFP. I get to chat about what I'm doing but not really to the people that I'm around everyday.0

Awesome pic! You look good as a blonde too! We have a similar journey. I started at 255 and I just hit my first 30 lbs this week! I took some before pics but I'm nervous to take any now. I'm like you, I'm not telling anyone that I'm dong this, I kinda want the "shock value" when I get to my goal (75 more to go).
Keep up the great work!!!0 -

Don't know if you got your answer (but it didn't see it further down on the responses).
NSV = Non Scale Victory0 -
