Lose vs loose - the teacher in me!

So, the teacher in me wants to remind my fellow weight loss friends that you LOSE weight - you don't LOOSE it. We are losing weight - we are not loosing weight! Now - our skin is loose and our clothes are loose as we LOSE this weight - but we are NOT loosing the weight! Hope this little english lesson helps! Keep up the losing weight so that our clothes are loose (and unfortunately our skin is loose too).

Thanks for the reminder. I've been wanting to say the same thing! (Retired 8th grade science teacher)

LoL yup... Sometimes you've just gotta read these posts with a grain of salt ( that's been rubbed along the edge a glass filled with a margarita!! )

I'm so glad to see I am not the only OCD one in the group! Thanks for the post. It made me laugh!

RRRMMMAAAOOO ... School is NOW in!

Oh yes this kind of thing is my all time pet peeve! Bad thing is I passed it on to my son! Unfortunately he is not so diplomatic in correcting people!
