Lotsa confusion around here with these words:

Loose means not tight or free from constraint.

To lose means to fail to: (1) keep (2) win or (3) make money.

    No, we're loosing wait.

    Actually based on the OP's definition I think it means we have failed to win wait.

    That explains why every time I step on the scale, I shout "WHY ARE YOU LEAVING ME, WEIGHT?! YOU ARE MINE!"

    It sometimes comes back, but usually I just lose it again...
