What does PB stand for

I keep seeing that acronym, can someone tell me what is stands for? Also NSV?

I think it has something to do with vomiting, but I am not sure.

thanks, Mary

    NSV is "non-scale victory".....that's like when you get on the scale and haven't lost anything in a few days but you put on an item of clothing that hasn't fit. Or somebody compliments you on your weight loss....anything other than pounds lost. You'll come to value the NSVs as much as pounds lost because it asknowledges your hard work.
