When dieting do you have to exercise a specific area to loose the weight, or just general exercise (walking)?

It depends, to loose fat I recomend a product called the Access bar. It is a patened fat comversion bar. It stops your body from burning muscle durring exercise and froces it to take from your fat stores. Also it is stops lactic acid buildup witch means no sore muscles. Living in Wisconsin I love it whenever it snows I can shovel and not be sore for the next 2 days. Plus it almost tripples the amount of arobic endurance I have. Now if you want to shape a specific are and say get 6 pack abbs then you need to do specific exercises.

Slowly cut down your food fats/sugars and EXERCISE! You can't cut down your food and hope to lose weight alone - and you can not just exercise and eat like crazy. You must balance food and exercise, incorporating them into your everyday life.

Your body doesn't work that way.  When you burn calories, the body loses weight in a certain order.  Same with gaining weight.  You can't lose weight in only one specific area.  You can only tone the muscles in that area, but that won't make the fat go away there.

It's summer! Best diet is to get outside and walk! Exercise is essential to lose weight. Ask your doctor about a food diet. You may have a special need that needs addressing.

With proper diet and exercise you should be able to get in shape enough to notice a difference. However, measuring your weight loss by pounds lost isn't a great idea. When you start exercising, you'll loose fat and water weight, but replace it with muscle, which weighs more. Try http://www.sparkpeople.com to set up a diet and exercise plan!

Weight gain and loss is determined, at the most basic, by calories in versus calories out.  Exercise, by increasing calories out, is equally important to weight loss as diet change, which decreases calories in.  The real answer depends on the starting point.  For someone who has a horrendous diet and moderate exercise habits, the dietary change may be more important.  For someone with a reasonable diet, but very poor exercise habits, the exercise will play a greater role.  The efficient thing to do is to establish a balance utilizing both factors, really.

Walking.  If you are overweight, eat a diet low in fat and carbohydrates in order to lose the fat.  Walk to exercise the muscles in your legs.  This will also be great for your heart. :)

Loosing weight is simply calorie loss greater than calorie intake.  To loss weight requires more than just dieting since the body will compensate for a decrease in food intake by slowing your metabolism.  To truly loss weight, you need to reduce food intake and speed up your metabolism.  Food intake is pretty straight forward.  However, since you can not do any weight bearing exercises, you need to find some aerobic exercises which do not involve the legs.  You can try an exercise rowing machine, where your legs are immobilize and your upper body does all the work.  In addition, there is an arm pedaling machine; it is pretty much like pedaling a bicycle but you use your arms instead.  Granted, it would be better if you could use your legs but these and other aerobic exercises which involve the upper body will still help you loss weight.  Do you have a gym membership?  Most of these machines are available in your typical gym.  If not then now is a good time to get one.

Just water weight.  If you want to lose weight and keep it off just eat right and exercise, its the only way.

Most gyms have fans on their treadmills or near them so definitely. You will burn more calories by the effort. Walking will definitely make you thin but most importantly is calories in versus calories used. You have to create a calorie deficit to loose weight.

you wanna lose weight you gotta do more output (excercise) than input (eating). So, either exercise MORE or eat LESS. The other writer is correct...there is no way to target fat loss....the body burns fat eventually when working out after it has burned the easy to burn stuff like carbs (sugars). So, you gotta do something aerobic...preferably for a longer period of time rather than shorter period of time. So, quit eating bad food, increase the amount of exercise you are doing, and maybe cut back slightly on the amount of food you are eating. The weight will come off...it is impossible for it not to.

You can't spot reduce.  In order to lose weight on any area of your body, you have to reduce your body fat percentage.  This means you have to go on a good fitness/diet plan.  Do something that fits into your schedule that you can "live" with.
