Hey there everybody. Thanks so much for all the new friends and support! It is nice to feel that I am not alone in this journey. As a new "bandster" (is that what we are called) I am a little confused by the lingo and would love a crash course in all the acronyms and euphemisms people use. Right now I feel like the old Luddite that doesn't know what OMG or LOL means only this time there are even more specific terms to learn.
Some acronyms I have come across thus far:
- BOOBS: Band Of Outrageous Babes (apparently a kickin' group of gals who are going to party away in Chicago soon - I am jealous!)
- NSV: Non Scale Victory (a term to describe goals and achievements that are related to weight loss but not the actual loss)
- BM: Am I right to assume this is just a nicer way of saying poo?
Additions (via comments and further blog readings):
- PB: a Productive Burp, one that happens to bring up the food you just ate
- NUT: Nutritionist
- TOM: Time Of Month, a rather manly moniker for Aunt Flo's monthly visitation
- ONEderland: a fantastic name for getting below 200 lbs.
- FUPA: Fat Upper Public Area, a nicer way of saying all my tummy junk that makes my jeans look bad
- WLS: Weight Loss Surgery
- NP: Nurse Practitioner
What am I missing?
Those are right! Another I see alot is PB as in productive burp. It's basically when food is stuck and you bring it back up. Not vomit, though.
ReplyDeleteA popular one when the scale doesn't show a loss or even worse, a gain is "WTF" Don't think I need to translate. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for following me. I'm following you now. I used OMG today in my post. (Oh my gosh!) or goodness.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget NUT....your nutritionist!!! Took me the longest to figur that one out.
