Seems like I see it wrong more than I see it right. For anyone unsure of the difference between lose and loose: I am eating at a calorie deficit, so I am going to lose weight. Now that I have lost weight, my pants are too loose. That's all I wanted to say, you can go back to succeeding at weight loss. Peace

    Just checked in to keep count on how many times this has been posted on MFP.

    That's my job on here, I keep track of these particular posts, and this one keeps me very busy.

    Thanks for your cooperation, carry on. ;)

    What do you mean "finally" spoke up. This is about as common a topic as any you will find on MFP....

    For those of you that this seems to bother have you considered that perhaps english is not the person's first language!

    If you have so much time to let it bother and you make a post about it I suggest you step away from the computer there is a whole world of exciting things to see and do in real time! Plus alot of real issues to b*tch about!

    Um....................no. Think about it for a minute, new people on here everyday, some english isn't there first language, and also a lot of people aren't great with spelling and some just don't give a *kitten*. Therefore this issue will never be solved. But making them feel stupid is a great idea.

    The average American reading comprehension is cited as anywhere between 8th grade and 12th grade. That means there are plenty lower than those grades too. Be grateful for the opportunities you had, genetically or in education, or both. :flowerforyou:

    You assume my sarcasm is me being riled, you are incorrect sir. But since this is the internet and tone is difficult to pick up I will clarify, it was sarcasm.

    Oh I see what you did there. Funny. Wrong word usage on a thread about Loose vs. Lose.
