Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
They work but its just like doing situps and crunches, you have to want to do it and be doing it on a regular basis.

I haven't used the Ablounge, but to be honest, targeted exercise really isn't very effective. You can tone and shape the underlying muscles, but you can't target the fat in a specific area; when your system burns fat, it takes it from ALL OVER your body, no matter what part you're working out. That's just how your biochemistry works.
So your best options are to eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and do cardiovascular exercise every other day - that is, walk (fast), or jog, or run, or bike, or swim, or use some sort of cardio machine at a gym. Your cardio workout needs to last at least 30-40 minutes, and more is better.
That will escalate your metabolism, which will burn body fat at a higher rate all the time - even when you're sleeping.
On alternate days, do some light cardio exercising (about 15 minutes) and some weight training; you can use free weights or exercise machines. If money is short, you can get an incredible range of exercise with just a couple of five or ten-pound hand weights. By toning up your muscles you'll improve your shape and burn more fat.
Sit-ups are a fine addition to your muscle-building regimen. Just make sure not to hurt yourself, and give your muscles at least every other day off to rest. After weight training, you can do some more cardio, if you feel up to it. But you're a growing girl, so it's important not to overdo it. If you feel real pain, stop and rest!
You should be aware that as a girl, your body is *designed* to have a certain amount of fat. Some rounding at your belly is healthy and normal, and is also very attractive to boys. Remember that boys see you in a very different way than you see yourself. When you look in a mirror, you might see nothing but your belly; boys, or at least *some* boys, will see the girl of their dreams.
Good luck!

I've never tried the ablounge, but most of those machine type things never work as good as plain old sit ups... those will always work much better than any machine!
