Every time that I see a reference to "loosing weight", I get a mental image of globs of adipose tissue flying around, and--trust me--that is not a pretty sight.
In a forum that cannot be named, somebody is inquiring about job opportunities for "gradutes".
He goes on to state that he is seeking input from "former graduates".
Hmmmm...
Is a former graduate a person whose diploma was revoked?
Nah, if it's just one guy, he's an alumnus. Latin is funny that way, & we're just lucky that we don't get into cases on this one. If you're referring to a bunch of male graduates of the school, then collectively they're all alumni. (Yah, there are feminine forms too - the more permissive authorities will let you refer to a group of male & female grads as alumni - the more restrictive want both forms.)

Easy, there, southwest. I intended it ironically, in the spirit of this thread.
