    I've never said it out loud.

    In my head, I say, "See eye see ko" for some unknown reason.

    :smiley:

    Whatever, it's still how I lost 80 lbs.

    I'm closing in on 50 so however you say it, it's all good.

    I haven't said it.
    I would just say calories in calories out because the person probably wouldn't know what CICO stood for anyway.

    I pronounce it "key-co" in my head but just say "calories in, calories out" out loud.

    Sort of like "LOL", right? Not something you'd say IRL but handy shorthand for typing.

    See, Eye, See, Oh

    ... and bingo was his name-o!

    But seriously, for me, it's an abbreviation so I say it as the letters just as I would for things like SMS.

    Kee Koh.

    Since I know the Cs are short for "calories", my brain keeps them hard. Don't think I've ever actually said it out loud though. Just reporting what happens in my head when I read it.

    I'm a "see-ko" as well. And honestly, until you asked it hadn't occurred to me that it would be read any other way. But I tend to hate acronyms with a fiery passion (unless they're very familiar I have a hard time figuring out what they're supposed to stand for) so I guess I automatically wordify any that will let me.

    I'm a wordifier too. There are so many see-ko people and I didn't even think of it as a possibility!

    Both the C's pronounced like a hard K sound. Long I, long O. And...I guess I'm the only one... But I've never said it out loud, only in my head.

    Not the only one.

    Wow. I had no idea anyone was doing this. I don't even know what to say.

    Speaking of wordifying - I love your username. It took me awhile to realize it wasn't Sue followed by randomness.

    This made me laugh until tears were streaming down my face.

    When reading along, I say SEE-KOOOO.
