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!

    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.

    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!!!

    Don't know if you got your answer (but it didn't see it further down on the responses).

    NSV = Non Scale Victory
