What verb do I use to say "I lost 12 pounds"?...I thought about perder, but it's not like I lost the pounds somewhere AND I certainly don't want to find them...I also thought of the veb "quitar" as in "I took off 12 pounds." Any thoughts??? I wanted to update my Spanish speaking friends on my progress since I started swimming.

Gracias.

You can use "perder" as far as I know. I've also heard it as "bajar peso" or "adelgazar". Adelgazar is a lot like "to slim down".

I read that bajar peso is the correct way to say it.
