What do the letters QM, DH mean?

I see these in everyone's posts - is there a list you all go by?
DH = husband? Why are these used?
I didn't find an answer searching FAQ...
Thank you,
Kat

These are not specific to this forum. These abbreviations typically come from what is often called "text speak." It is simply a shorthand method that is used when typing text messages. It's used for convenience - to shorten what you have to write out. It has become pretty ubiquitous on online forums. There is a pretty exhaustive looking list of abbreviations used in texting and on forums here http://www.netlingo.com/acronyms.php.

There is a list specific to this forum in "Tips" on the green menu bar at the top of the page. Just scroll down there to Low Carb Lingo.

I've never heard of QM.

I think "QM" refers to a long-time member, affectionately dubbed by her journal buddies as "Queen Mum" .. or QM for short

Hi Kat!

I'm going to be your weigh-in buddy on Friday's now. No more once a month for me, I need to tweak/change what I am doing if it's not working. So, a month is a little to long to wait right now.
