Hello and welcome to OH=)

NSV=non-scale victory

I'm not sure which other acronyms you need definitions for - didn't realize we used that many, but we probably do, lol

Just ask when you come across and you don't know what it stands for and one of us will gladly define it for you. Otherwise if you know of any more off the top of your head, post them here and we'll fill you in.

Enjoy your journey and your time on OH. It's a great place to land! You generally won't find a nicer, more helpful group of people on any other internet forum.=)

Congratulations on your decision to change your life.  Don't worry about the abbreviations.  Just ask as you go.  People are very friendly here and willing to give you the answers that you need.

I often see the following:
DIL is daughter in law;  SIL is son in law
DS is dear son
DD is dear daughter
DH is dear husband

NUT is nutritionist
PS is plastic surgeon.

Hope these help.

 When I first started reading posts on this site I thought it was odd that a lot of people were proclaiming, "I got a date!" I thought that they were excited they were going out with someone. Later on I realized they meant they had a date for their surgery. LMAO (Laughing My AXX Off)

I know the one I always got hung up on is IMHO which is "in my humble opinion".

Like they said, just ask. Someone will always answer.

 Thank you for asking that question!  I thought maybe it was just me and it has been a little puzzling at times trying to figure out the lingo!  Congratulations!

Another one:

TMI is "too much information" - this is probably going to be a post about...shall we say....bodily functions.
