    Yeah, that would be nice. It took me 4 days before I found out what an "NSV" was!

    I urban dictionary'd it the first time I heard it. So you can probably do the same for other terms

    LOL. We all face that learning curve. Just ask your friends when you see something you don't understand. Everyone understands the acronym soup gets pretty thick.

    No, but the most common NSV means non scale victory.

    No, definitely not! When I first started I asked but no one really told me..which was frustrating. The only things I have seen that I can recall are NSV - non scale victory. MFP - my fitness pal and TOM - time of month. :D

    Not that I've seen. But I'll give you a few:

    30DS - 30 Day Shred (workout routine by Jillian)
    NSV - Non Scale Victory
    YMMV - Your mileage may vary
    ED - Eating Disorder
    WLS - weight loss surgery
    SW: Starting Weight
    CW: Current Weight
    GW: Goal Weight
    BFP - Body Fat Percentage
    SMH - Shaking My Head

    Any others you'd like to know?

    I learnt what AF is the other day (Aunt Flow) by searching it in the message board search thingee. That helps!

    No Glossary as such, but as I asked the same question way back when, try typing in JARGON BUSTER and see what turn up :wink:
