I looked around but didn't find any threads explaining all the common abbreviations used in posts. Things like TTTD and.... Actually I can't even remember what the abbreviations were... Anyone care to help this noob out? Thanks!

    TDEE is total daily energy expenditure.
    BMR is basal metabolic rate
    RMR is resting metabolic rate
    NEAT is non-exercise activity thermogenesis
    TL;DL is too long didn't read
    LOL is laugh out loud... etc.

    Basically, if I don't know what it means, I google it.

    I think you mean TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). That's how many calories you burn in a day of being you (work, cooking, walking the dog, excercise, etc.)

    One of the best that you will see...NSV - non scale victory.

    Some others...

    NSV - Non scale victory
    QFT- Quoted for truth
    30DS- Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred workout DVD
    IF- Intermittent Fasting
    ADF- Alternate Day Fasting
    SW- starting weight
    CW- current weight
    GW or UGW- goal or ultimate goal weight
    Bump- means they commented so it would be in their recent topics section so they can easily go back and find it to read for reference or if its long to read so they can find it when they have more time.

    BMI = Body Mass Index. It's useless, but that's what it stands for.
    BF% = Body Fat %.
    TEF = Thermic Effect of Food
    SL = StrongLifts (a strength training program)
    SS = Starting Strength (another strength training program)
    NROL = New Rules Of Lifting
    NROLFW = New Rules Of Lifting For Women


    It seems like there's a few others that I'm drawing a blank on.
