What about all these acronyms?

Hello everyone,
The first thing I've noticed when joining MFP is that there is a lot of acronyms that people use it on a day-to-day basis. Some of them are fitness related, others are Internet slang (some being US specific I guess) but in any case, I thought it would be good to create a list of all the acronyms that we get to see a lot on MFP.
I'll start with some I was not familiar with in the first place:
First and foremost, MFP= MyFitnessPal (I know it may look obvious to most but I wanted to clarify)
---
SW= Starting Weight
CW= Current Weight
GW= Goal Weight
NSV= Non Scale Victory
BMI= Body Mass Index
BMR= Basal Metabolic Rate
If you want to complete the list, please do so !!
Thanks !
