Sometimes, we have a discussion starter that has nothing to do with the challenge. Instead, let's discuss text and internet acronyms.
Frequently, when I read your posts, you use acronyms that I need to translate. Thanks to Google, I find the answer.
What are some of your most used and/or favorite acronyms?
Please include the translation!!
Just for fun...
P.S. I got this idea from @SModa61

Since I got tagged, I'll start with three that struck me as appropriate
FTW - for the win
FWIW - for what its worth
YMMV - your miles may vary
Oh, and @rangerrickL has already been challenged with figuring out TTFN.5 -
Well it's quiet here today. Must be Tuesday said Pooh...
TINSLAAFL (there is no such thing as a free lunch) is pretty much my favorite I think.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yesand a few more...

18th May
Fairly stressful (and cold!) day in Paris. Did a lot of walking due to many Metro stations closed: 55 minutes total, dragging a wheelie-case along the Paris cobblestones and, worse, up and down the dozens of stairs in the Metro stations. Had a nice suitcase-free walk at lunchtime though, after a really tasty and healthy salad, which you put together yourself, genius! Stayed under calories and tracked everything.
Happy to be home in warmer climes. From tomorrow we'll be able to eat or have a drink outside a cafe or restaurant; the museums, cinemas, theatres and music venues will open up and the curfew will be at 9pm! Can't wait!
Acronyms: I don't use them! I don't use the full acronymed expressions either. Questions @SModa61: What does "your miles may vary" mean? And in what context or sentence would you use "for the win"? Is it like "in it to win it"?

T ✅ 18 | C ✅ 0 | E ✅ 13 [1 h walk]
Speaking of acronyms, I like this alternative interpretation of wtf: ^^

Exercise yes, 30 min bike ride plus long walk.
Tracking yes
Calories, yes
I'm away for a few days in my motorhome, but the weather is not good. However, we did walk for 90 minutes between the rain showers.

@Summerskier haha, are you sure that is still an acronym. It's almost as long as the original expression.
@chinkiri
"your miles may vary" - I would use it if I gave advice based on my personal experience and I would add YMMV meaning that your experience might be different.
"for the win" - I would use as an indicator of success. Maybe I had a really good UAC day, I might add for the win. Online it is defined as "Being the best; being great, awesome, amazing or spectacular; sure to succeed"
In contrast, "in it to win it" relates to how you can't succeed unless you participate/try in the first place
The acronyms I actually use most are more like titles (MIL, FIL, DIL, SIL, DD, DS, HD), and GTG, TTYL, KK.3 -
I don't use any acronyms AFAIK
Can't wait to learn them all though!

Tracked: Yes (everything)6 -
Three yeses today - exercise was 30mins of Pilates, 45 mins walking my son to school and an hour's walk in the bluebells at lunchtime with my husband, a bit of a treat to spend some time on our own! So glad we went out, @lesdarts180 I think we are having the same weather in Kent as you...total downpour with hailstones about three minutes after we got home!
@MadisonMolly2017 thank you for your advice about too much sugar / salt leading to harder days, my first thought was that this isn't the cause, mindset is. But of course, the two are instrinsically linked. I'm in the wrong mindset, I make a bad choice (sugar / salt), makes me feel bad, crave more bad choices, mindset does not improve - that old vicious circle. I think I've broken the mindset for now anyway. Right now, I'm back at a weight that I've previously been at for a long time, so the feeling of urgency to lose more weight kind of left me once I'd lost the additional weight I put on with lockdown /knee injury. But I've spent some time thinking about it and remembering when I was at the weight I'm aiming for so it feels a bit more real, and a bit more like I'm entitled to get there.
As for acronyms, I don't use many except my favourite - OOO (out of office). I don't work on Mondays so I love to say, sorry no I can't attend your meeting I'm OOO. My daughter is 13 and knows uses loads of acronyms, ikr (I know right) and ngl (not gonna lie) are two that i've seen her write recently. My son's favourite is GOAT (greatest of all time).9 -
The bluebells on our walk were beautiful- but my dog was very stubborn and refused to look at the camera when I tried to take her photo!14 -

3️⃣ Pass Days left

Yesterday was a pass day, today too. Exactly the opposite of the the previous two days, lol. Well, I will take two other passes until I get things straight again. This is how life works, I'll not bother myself with this, as long as I stand up again, that's what matter.
Goodnight 💜10 -

I try not to use abbreviations when I write if it’s my children perhaps but... I find it rather inconsiderate occasionally I may use the lol laugh out loud and omg oh my god but other than that. I was able to walk today at lunch difficult towards the end but was successful I walked 1.71 miles in 38 minutes. Was also fun to watch the horses at the fair race track today. Tracked and logged successful day.7

Exercise:✅
Tracked:✅

Thx only ones I can think of are FOMO ( fear of missing out) and YOLO ( you only live once)7 -
Logged and exercised today but I overate. I was in a meeting at work (over the computer as I work from home now) and I was hungry. So while distracted, I wasn't being mindful of what I was eating. Lesson learned: log first, eat, wait 20 minutes, if still hungry, choose something wisely that works into the plan. All in all I'm still happy though, as my over today was still less than my under yesterday therefore I'm still doing okay for the week.7

Got three yeses today. Learned not to eat the fiber one bars (three of them - 70 cal each) that your daughter offered you when you are starving in the afternoon when you already had one and half servings of my usual fiber one cereal for breakfast. Ended up with 43 grams of fiber today. Not a great thing to do...... But got my exercise in by heading out at 8:30 for a quick three mile evening run.
Love all the acronyms though @srmdb I do need a translation of "dead with laugh". 5 -
Just read thru the day, missed the acronym post. My most used are GM (good morning) and ty (thank you).2

yyy. Yes, yes, yes. No tmi.5

Exercise: active stretching then 40 minutes walking outside
Calories: under my limit
Tracking: okay3 -
Yes x 3. I managed to fit in a walk between downpours today, and my dog felt up to going with me!
Thanks to those of you who responded to my question about a maintenance range. I'm thinking I might shoot for staying within a 5-pound range with my goal weight at the center--that gives me 2.5 pounds in either direction. I'm just nervous about gaining back the weight that was SO HARD to lose this time. 😬 In the past, I could trust myself to gauge my weight on the basis of how my clothes were fitting, but I'm not ready to do that quite yet. I'll need to get to a point where I trust my daily habits a little more than I do right now.6 -
May 18:
✔️ EXERCISE: Yes. 40 minutes walking.
✔️ CALORIES: Yes. 1344/1400 (Lowered today to 1400). I gotta push onward toward my goal!)
✔️ TRACK: Yes.
PASSES USED: 3/3 (3May)(9May)(12May)

My fav is FOMO. The first time I heard someone say it out loud I had to google it. They told me that they had a bad case of "FOMO". 5 -
Yes x 3
Super glad I got my Pilates workout in this morning before school because it was an all hands on deck kinda day. First day of state testing8
