I see acronyms all over the place. I get some of them but certainly not more than 1/4
HELP!!
It'd be a whole lot better and easier for me if someone would explain some of the acronyms for me.

    I usually just Google the acronyms I don't understand.

    Can't help if you don't say which ones. Typically though, a search engine or Urban Dictionary will help.

    MFP: My Fitness Pal
    NSV: Non Scale Victory
    LBM: Lean Body Mass
    BF: Body Fat
    BMI: Body Mass Index
    BMR: Basal Metabolic Rate
    TDEE: Total Daily Energy Expenditure
    TLDR: Too long didn't read
    Bump: just means you want to read it later (or you want more people to respond)
    TOM: time of the month
    RMR: resting metabolic rate

    I'm trying to remember the other ones...

    BACON (almost always seen in caps) is not an acronym. It's simply BACON. A lot of us love BACON.

    I would like to know what 'wtk' means!

    I believe this one could be "want to know"... though that could easily be "want to kill" as well. I say read the rest of the message and try to figure it out.
