There is no specific exercise for ANY area of the body.Exercising a specific muscle group does not cause fat metabolism there.
You must maintain a healthy lower calorie diet.Eat less carbohydrates and more whole foods and protein.Protein is helpful because it's the highest thermic food.
Going for a walk in the evening can be helpful but weight training is one of the best exercises you can do to lose weight.
One of the ways this works is by stimulating new muscle growth thus metabolizing more calories even at rest(about 50 cal per pound of muscle).
The fact of the matter is you MUST just stick with it.Following some of the guidelines here will help.
It is also unnecessary to drink 8 8 ounce glasses of water per day.
Calculate you BMR and consume less calories than you burn.
Consider some low carb protein bars.Stay away from granola and those type snacks.
This will dispel that stupid cabbage nonsense among other things.This is excerpted from a Yahoo! Health e mail.
The following diet myths come up over and over again at my nutrition center. My next two blog entries will help set the record straight. Hope you find this helpful!
If you eat late at night, the food turns straight into fat.
Not true.If your overall calories are appropriate for weight loss, you certainly can eat something after dinner. Late night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep).
However, for the sake of energy, it is always better to eat your calories during the day when your body needs the fuel. Plus, eating consistently throughout the day will stabilize blood sugar levels -- so you’ll feel energized and experience fewer cravings. If you are going to snack after dinner, I suggest choosing something 250 calories or less.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than frozen.
Not necessarily. Frozen can be a great produce option (just avoid varieties with added salt, sugar, and sauce). Frozen foods are picked in the peak of ripeness, then frozen. You can eat them as you need them -- and most of the nutrients are locked in. On the other hand, fresh fruit and vegetables are typically harvested before they ripen, and can have nutrient variability. Also, the longer fresh produce sits around in your fridge, the less nutrients it will contain.
Bottom line: Buy both fresh and frozen and eat as much as you can.
Cravings are your body's way of telling you it needs something.
This has never been proven. You normally crave what you like to eat (or smell or see someone else eating). Also, hormonal changes are sometimes responsible for food cravings. Ice cream and pickles anyone?
Any type of water is always better than soda.
No. There are a few caloric waters with sexy marketing ploys. In fact, some brands have quite a bit of sugar. Always check labels.
Certain foods, like grapefruit, celery, or cabbage soup can burn fat and make you lose weight.
These are anecdotal stories that have no scientific back up. It’s true these foods are low in calories, but they do NOT actually burn fat.
I had to delete all of my links as I didn't know this was a vilolation.

Try not to be so weak minded. It's mind over matter. It's all in your mind so it doesn't matter.By that I mean you're telling yourself "Im hungry" when really your not, its in your mind. People all the time say I try to diet but I just can't keep it going. These are weak minded people. And if you're that over weight you may not want to eat fruit in excess, it's full of sugar. Which if not used turns to fat. And if you're not over weight, then why the heck are you dieting. Just eat healthy. There's a difference.Another sure fire thing is, five meals a day, on a strict schedule(meaning the exact same time everyday), of healthy food, speeds up motabilism. Which burns more fat.If you're eating five (small healthy meals) a day there isn't much "between meals" time b/c you're eating roughly every three hours or so.

i think i can help you
if the body has lots of fat it is first necesary to reduce it before getting into gym or heavy exercise because if you start exercising without reducing the fat yr accumulated fat will get tighten up n later it ll be difficult for you to reduce it since it ll become hard...i think you understand what i mean
well first about yr diet
have brown bread sandwich which is healthier and fat free
slice all vegetables you like
apply tomato sauce on brown bread add place slices on each vegetable adding bit of salt in each layer and make the sandwich without butter cheese or any fat products
you can also have this sandwich again n again for eg thrice in a day as you like munching things
reduce yr regular amount of food you eat instead have pulses which will avoid hunger
also have bhakri or jowar roti which is healthy with some vegetable
have lots sof salad ( fresh vegetables)
start with jogging in the morning and it is necesary to exercise in empty stomach have lots of water
avoid milk and have black tea or black coffee
i know this is too much for you to do
but has excellent results
all the best

If you like raw veg (cauliflower, brocoli, carrots etc) they are great and it gives you something to chew on. They are packed with essential vitamins and minerals and low in calories. Fruit is good too.
Steer clear on high fat and high sugar snacks (read the labels).
