heya,
sit-ups are the easiest option though not the most effective on their own.
add in some running, as this tones your legs and stomach.
and i know you said you didn't want to sacrifice your eating habits... but you could try just drinking more water and having a healthier meal each day and it would really help to get a flat tummy, especially when you only have three weeks!
hope it helps,
feel free to get in touch if you need anymore advice

SIT UPS! they are the best way and very simple. while your watching TV or something just casually do situps. everyday slowly raise the amount you do and before you know it you will lose a few pounds. good luck!

Do a Crunch (you can get that video special for abs or stomach in stores.)
i bought mine but it was for whole body, i got them at Wal Mart for about ten bucks and i gave up but my mom hadnt and she lost quiet a lot of pounds on that.
and oh yea you should check out those Teen Magazines like Cosmo Girl or Seventeen because they have special work out every issue and if you are lucky, this month's issue's workout can be about toning your stomach.
and last tip to tone. when you are working out for your stomach, you have to suck in the stomach when you are working out(its sooo hard because i forget but you will get used to it...)
hope i helped =)

You need to know that as a woman, your body needs to have a certain amount of fat. For example, your breasts are almost entirely fatty tissue. And you, like all women (and most men) are biologically *designed* to have a layer of fat underneath your skin.
That fat serves several important purposes. It's a reservoir of energy. It pads you, protecting you from damage. It's important for reproduction. Chemicals that your body needs are manufactured by fat. And it also helps to keep your temperature steady. All of these are good things.
Just because magazines and TV constantly feature really abnormal women with almost no visible fat is no reason to think that you can, or SHOULD, look that way.
By the way, almost every normal man finds a gently rounded female tummy *really* attractive. Take my word for this: you will never be able to see yourself as men see you. You see fat, they see beauty. That's just how it is.
That said...sit-ups will only tone your abdominal muscles, they will not target abdominal fat. If you have extremely slack belly muscles, you might get some effect from three weeks of sit-ups - but to be honest, it's not going to be much. And your belly probably isn't that slack, unless you've had a baby within the past year or two and never got back into shape.
Full-body cardio is your best option right now. Work out with your arms and legs at the same time, if you can; for example, speed-walk while holding or wearing weights. Or try a cross-training machine at a gym. By building muscle across your body, and boosting your overall metabolic rate, you'll burn more fat all over your body.
You'll also have a lot more energy and will feel generally healthier.
Add sit-ups to the routine, if you like; they won't hurt (as long as you don't overdo it), and they may help a little by toning up your belly.
Depending on what you're eating and drinking now, a small change in diet could help you quite a bit. I know you don't want to sacrifice your eating habits, but there are ways to make positive changes in your diet that are actually pleasant, as well as healthy.
Simple example: soft drinks. If you drink a lot of that stuff (even the diet versions), try this instead: partially squeeze a lemon wedge into a glass of ice water, and then drop the rest of the wedge into the glass. It's zero calories, and it's much more refreshing than a soft drink. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll actually come to *prefer* that to soft drinks. And you'd save hundreds of calories a day. Not to mention a few bucks. One lemon costs much less than a six-pack, and you'll easily get more than six wedges out of it. Not to mention that you'd be giving yourself a little extra vitamin C, which is always good!
There are lots of other small changes you can make. Even something as simple as having a SMALL piece of fruit or a few vegetables before every meal, will make a big difference as time goes by. That sort of change isn't painful at all, and you'll probably soon find that you actually *enjoy* the changes.
Good luck!

you can try doing a hundred or two situps everyday..or for ten minutes. it should work.
but ur stomache will hurt a few days after you start.
