Take off vs Shed

Hi

Do these sentences carry the same meaning?

She has decided to take off some weight.
She has decided to shed some weight.

Thanks,

Tom

Here they are interchangeable. Take off can be used for oneself or for something else: He took his coat off - he took her coat off. Shed is used when the 'shedder' is acting upon himself or herself.
