It could be that we pronounce things differently... but for me the single "o" in lose and the double "o" in loose make the same sound as the double "o" in proof. The two words (lose and loose) only differ in the way the "s" sounds. The "s" in lose is more of a "zzzzz" while the "s" in loose is a standard "s" sound. So... my tongue is not tripping on that.
