Well, actually weight is a force that depends on the
gravitational pull of the planet you are on, and it’s also a
vector, meaning it has a direction. You probably meant you
lost mass.
Most people expect to not leave the earth, so for all purposes, losing mass is the same as reducing the earth's effect on one's body, which is what people feel. We don't feel mass, we feel weight, so if we feel lighter, we've lost weight.

- corty 6y agoWell, actually, the zero-vector has no direction and every direction.
