I had to chuckle when someone wanted to know what this "LDL" program was.  Okay, now it's my turn.  I didn't make a recipe for several days because I did not know where to get "evoo."  I finally figured out it was extra virgin olive oil!

Maybe there should be a post in the "Starting Out" section for all of us acronymically challenged individuals???

Hee, hee, hee...

Reading this made me LOL !!

Well if you see OT that mean Off Topic ... If you see or OTT - that's my nickname: Off-Topic Tom

There is a new one I found on a different board I like a lot  NSV  which is Non-Scale Victory - meaning, while the scale dial may not have moved, something else occurred which proves weight-loss (ex. fitting into smaller clothes, off meds, seeing unseen body parts, etc.)

I think WOE should be changed to SWOE (smart way of eating) cause when I see WOE I immediately think "woe is me" which is negative and SWOE is positive.
