The Spelling Police are on patrol!!!

There are two very important words we all use when using this website and talking about our weight loss progress.

Lose.

and

Loose.

The first is lose. Many of us are here to *lose* weight. Sometimes dieting makes us *lose* our marbles. We often celebrate when we *lose* our self-doubt and gain confidence.

Next is loose. Our pants are getting *loose*! Our tops are getting *loose*! Our clothes are so *loose* we need to go shopping for a hot new wardrobe!

Indeed, we *lose* weight and end up with *loose* clothes.

    I love love love love love love love you for pointing this out - drives me NUTS! You should get a police baton or something to whap people! Or you could go Judge Judy style with a gavel and sentence them to spelling classes :)
