You take off weight simply by expending energy with the exercise. You are burning off calories, therefore reducing fat in your system, and therefore you are taking off weight.

Hi…Kitos…
If we explore this problematic sentence in another way, what we will say to gather (add) weight…? [color=blue]PUT ON…right…? You will put on weight if you are not exercising. Hence we can derive the opposite as [color=blue]PUT OFF…!!
Please correct me if I am literally wrong.
…
I think PUT OFF means To delay
I don’t think Put off is the right answer
Kitos ,
Do you mean that there is no answer of the choices I’ve written ?
To put …weight ,you should do exercise regulary
(1) off
(2) away
(3) on
(4) down
That is exactly what I mean. You don’t put off weight, you take it off, or lose it.
Hi, if excercising would help you lose weight, then it is to “put off” and if excercising helps in adding weight, then, it’s “put on”. I’m saying this because some health centers ask their clients to excercise in order to put on some weight.
…
Sincerely if PUT ON is used in the sense to add, gather or accumulate weight, then I think there is no harm in using PUT OFF to reduce, dismantle or lower the weight…
Batoul Saad sounds just incredible…to support my suggestion…

Boom boom boom boom …
Sorry guys but I have not been doing any exercise recently and have PUT ON quite a lot of weight. <ping!> Whoops there goes another button.
Looks to me like an exercise question incorrectly written !!
Rob
I’ve asked a teacher
and he told me that the right answer is PUT DOWN
Thank you all
“How to put down my weight?
i am a house wife … i want to reduce my weight at home itself.”
This is the actual item referred to. So badly written as to be farcical.
For the last time … You take OFF weight or put it on!
Sorry but your English teacher is incorrect, unless of course he is just putting you down!
As Dad said … “put on” or “take off” … also you can say to “gain weight” or to “loose weight”.
rob
Or even “lose” weight Rob, unless you want to feel “loose” of course, as in “Hang loose man.” Not many do!
Kitos.
Whooops my oo always dooes that too me. When I doon’t check …lool
kindly tell me where i can use have and has
