Weight loss is a matter of burning more than you consume... You can contribute to this calorie deficit in 3 ways 1. burn more cals (exercise), 2. eat less cals, 3. affect your metabolism so you naturally burn more calories.
Weight loss CANNOT be targeted to an area of the body so situps and crunches wouldnt have helped you do more then add muscle to the area. Humans can only generally lose weight and then our body takes fat away from the whole body.
The best exercise is resistance training (e.g. weights) because it will also boost your metabolism. Of course, any exercise is better than no exercise.
Now, if you dont want to exercise here are a few other tips... 1. Eat many small meals every day (say about 5)- this will have a positive effect on your metabolism 2. dont starve yourself (it will have an adverse affect) 3. Eat balanced meals, low on saturated fat 4. Try time your last meal a few hours before bedtime 5. drink plenty of water
Well thats all that comes to mind... good luck.

Personally, I would suggest that if you are able to, to drink milk three times a day. It really does help to tone your body and you will get results. In addition to that, I also found this interesting article [which adds to my theory on why sleep is so awesome]; no offence and sorry if this isn't what you were looking for.
-------------------------------------
If you’re cutting back on sleep time to hit the gym, you might do better to stay in bed. “Sleep deprivation can cause hormonal changes that contribute to weight struggles, tummy fat and declining muscle mass,” says Eileen Silva, Ph.D., N.D., co-author of 'A Healthier You.'
Here's why: During sleep, fat cells in the body produce an appetite-regulating hormone called leptin, which tells your brain when it's time to stop eating. Lose enough sleep -- and miss out on producing leptin -- and you’ll experience intense carb cravings and eventually the dreaded ab flab.
Here's how to make sleep your weight-loss weapon:
Establish a Pattern: Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day –- even on weekends. And invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows. Quality sleep is worth a few extra dollars, particularly since it’s likely to increase your productivity during daylight hours.
Wear Yourself Out: “Physical activity promotes the deep, restorative stages of sleep,” says Silva. “And if you’re well-rested, you’ll have more energy to work out.” But unless you’re doing yoga or meditation, try to squeeze exercise into the early part of your day. High-intensity workouts just before bedtime can release endorphins, which make it difficult to sleep.
Make a Five O'Clock Rule: Avoid alcohol, tobacco and caffeine (chocolate, coffee and colas) after 5PM. Even though alcohol is a depressant, it interferes with the quality of sleep. As stimulants, caffeine and nicotine not only impact peaceful slumber, but they can prevent you from falling asleep altogether.
Chill: Stress is one of the biggest obstacles to restful slumber. Use a journal to get out all of your anxious thoughts, listen to soothing music, read a novel, meditate or take a warm bath before bed. And don’t try to go to bed hungry. Eating a light snack may help promote the onset of sleep. Go for graham crackers and a glass of skim milk. “Dairy snacks like cheese and milk are high in the amino acid tryptophan, a natural sleep aid,” says Silva.--Amy Paturel
-----------------------------------
So in other words, while diet and exercise are important, so is sleep - so if you don't get enough of that already, go ahead and give it a shot. Eight or more hours is suggested. Hope that helped...definately try that hopping thing, that sounds crazy, but definately fun =)
