Lose vs loose - the teacher in me!



Recommended Posts

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!! )

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!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
