You are not "loosing" weight. You are "losing" weight. "Loose" is how your clothes fit when you are successful in this endeavor.
I see this mistake about 100 times per day, and if I didn't get this off my chest now I was afraid that my head would explode :explode:
That is all! You may return to what you were doing

The scary part is that if enough people adopt the incorrect version, wouldn't it by default become the popular "correct" version over time? *shudder* :sad:0

Yep. "Loosing weight" and "thights" are the most common spelling mistakes on weight loss forums, it seems.0

You can speak redneck and still use proper grammar while typing. I am a fluent speaker of all things redneck as well.0 -
