LOSE is the word to use when you are trying to LOSE weight.

LOOSE is the word to use when your clothes are getting LOOSE while you are losing weight.

LOSING is the word to use when you are in the process of LOSING weight.

LOSER is the word to use when you think you are a slow LOSER.

LOOSER is the word to use when your pants are LOOSER than they were before you lost weight.

No, I am not the grammar police. Yes, you can search my posts and I am sure you will find many grammar errors.

Seriously, this is a weight loss forum and it drives me crazy when people do not know the difference between lose and loose.

Ok, my rant is over...

omgeeeee. Every time I read people's post that say, "why am I a slow looser?"...gah it drives me up the wall! I understand, totally. I've always wanted to be like...it is loser...looser is like when something is not so tight, but never did. Thank you for posting.

bwuahahahaha

this is a weight loss forum so we should know the difference between loser, looser, losing etc. I mean it is on the mind 24/7 and part of the daily vocabulary.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves, but I admit I've seen people mistake the two for so long that whenever I type out that I'm losing weight I second guess myself and have to make sure I don't really mean loosing. Argh.

While we're on this topic can we have a quiet chat about they're (they are), there (a place or direction), their (belonging to a person), where (a place or time), we're (we are) and were (reference to a past tense event).

That's all I'm saying.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
