weightloss
Getting lighter intentionally
Weight loss is the reduction of body mass, whether intentional through diet and exercise or unintentional from illness.
Usually spelled as two words weight loss, but the single-word form appears in casual contexts and as a modifier: weightloss goals, weightloss journey.
The term dominates wellness culture, advertising, and medical discussions of obesity.
