you LOSE weight until your clothes are LOOSE



Recommended Posts

Here's a great one from an angry young poster on another thread....

"You don't know me from a whole in the wall!"

I catch any/all misspellings. It's just the kinda woman I am! :thumbup: How much it bothers me depends on my mood, but I really think adults should all know the difference between the "there/their/they're"s.

One thing that I see a lot of is people saying "all the sudden" when it's really "all of a sudden". I don't know, but that one never fails to make me shake my head.

How about this one: you LOSE weight until you clothes are LOOSE.

Seriously, I think that sometimes people are typing quickly and making innocent errors. I did say sometimes.

After being on this forum and two other weight-loss forums, I'm afraid "loose" for "lose" is almost starting to look normal. It's scary.

Another one that makes me nuts is less vs. fewer. "I will consume fewer calories than I did yesterday." "I have less energy than I did yesterday" or - "It took me fewer than 60 minutes; it took me less than an hour."

Just a reminder, even though this is RNR, we attack the idea and not the person. If you want to attack each other, please take it to PM.

Susan, I agree with you. We are not here for personal attacks. Period . I am embarrassed that I have been put in this situation. I am unsubscribing from this thread.

Clearly, some people don't understand the written word. Calling someone "fat" on here is unbelievable.

And my 12 year old has just shown me how to change it, d'oh.

Hee. I was just about to post that you could change it until I read this.

Yeah, that's what bugs more than a few innocent typos. That I'll get used to all this bad grammar and spelling.

I'm not worried about the Gen Yers though. My spelling has improved DRAMATICALLY since I started using spell check. Now when I'm without it, I'm much more likely to catch a typo on my own.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
