The English language is full of bizarre and paradoxical pronunciations. This is a weight loss, fitness, and health platform where the word "lose" shows up often.
lose > rhymes with > booze, snooze, cruise
loose > rhymes with > moose, goose
"Lose" is a terrible word! The pronunciation isn't intuitive. Contrast "lose vs. loose" with "choose vs. chose."
choose > rhymes with > booze, snooze, cruise
chose > rhymes with > rose, nose, hose
When I chose to lose weight, it was suggested I choose salad over fries, which eventually led to loose pants.

Please note that "LOSE" or "LOSING" is what one does to weigh less.
"LOOSE" is what your clothes are after you LOSE; and "LOOSING" is what one does with gorgons and hounds.
