I am not fat and i am not saying you are at all but i had a little extra weight and got rid of it because of a book. It had just daily excercises and eating habits. Not like a diet you could eat anything that you wanted but it should you what good meals are and they had like everything i liked in one meal and i lost weight by excercising and cutting down on sweets :( but it is so worth it because now i look good in a belly shirt!!!!!!!!

The reason why crunches and all other exercises you have done hasn't worked is because there is no such thing as "Spot Reduction" or exercising an area and losing fat in it. The main factor which determines our definition is our diet. Don't read those meatheaded magazines or FDA advice columns. Certain non stimulant pills maybe be beneficial such as Tonalin CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) which is an essential fatty acid. Get your diet clean before anything because it is what determines any results that we see in our bodies. Let me also clear up another stupid myth that regular crunches only work your upper abdominals. They don't, they contract the entire abdominal region as one. Also leg raises and sit-ups are NOT "Ab specific" exercises but rather train the hip flexor muscles. Remember- No Pain, No Gain and Remain the Same.

Do you eat healthy? If not then I DEFINITELY reccomend that, but if you do, then you just need to wait a little while before you get results. Your right pills are NOT the answer. I hope I helped!

Contrary to popular beleif, running etc is not the most efficient way to burn fat. Resistance training is the best becuase of its effect on your metabolism (cardio exercises have no longer term effects, but with weight training u burn more calories all day long). Also every pound of muscle you put on will burn require some daily calories to maintain.
Now, also contrary to popular belief there is no way on the green earth that a human being can target an area of the body to lose fat from. It is NOT possible. You can build muscle on an area but the order of fat loss is not in our hands. So, dont just focus on the stomach (like with crunches etc, that wont do much. Instead get an overall full body workout, eat sensibly (as per the advice of others that have answered before me) and hope that your body will remove the fat that is bothering you sooner rather than later. Sorry, its all you can do (short of liposuction of course... actually that is the one and only way humans can target fat loss come to think of it).

Crunches and the like are GREAT for building and toning muscle, but they don't burn fat.
In order to burn fat, you have to get your body moving and your heart rate up. This can involve just plain running, playing soccer or basketball, swimming, jump-roping, etc.
If you start doing these activities for about thirty minutes a day for two or three weeks, you'll definitely see a difference in your body composition.
Drink lots of water, and watch what you eat! Instead of reaching for sugary snacks loaded with saturated fat, reach for an apple or some carrots.
Exercise, combined with a controlled, balanced diet, is the best way to go for weight loss.
Hope this helps!
