Dear all,

I saw a sentense like "In some ways, losing weight means losing money because health centers, medicines, operations, running machines all need money." I feel that it is better to use "take" here. What's your opinion?

Looking forward to your reply.

I agree with you; "take" seems more natural in this sentence. The meaning is that money is required for these things and activities.
