Sit ups in my opinion is one of the best things to do for a flat stomach.

you don't have to be large to work out. i am a very small person 4 foot 11 inches and am only 105 pounds and i still work out every day. i don't always go to the gym...sometimes just a good jog around the block. excercise is not just about getting in to shape its about staying in shape. i agree with mjl here. sit ups do work good on the stomach. kickboxing/taebo also works the stomach muscles and help get rid of "muffin top."

so in that case i'll start workin out n do sit ups.. thanks to u both.

Sit ups tighten the abdominals, but they dont reduce fat. You should go jogging/ running. Jogging and running will not only help lose that extra little bit, but its really great exercise for your heart. Start small, work your way up. Don't get discouraged if you cant run a mile right off.. just maybe run around your block, go to a football field and do a lap or two. Set a goal and go after it. You should do bent let sit ups, crunches, and bicycles. Bicycles is a great exercise.. it really makes you feel like you are tightening those muscles. Here's how to do them: The Truth About Abs - 2 Best Ab Exercises (scroll to the bottom)
Also, eat healthy. Up to 15% of your diet should be protein. Try your best to stay away from fatty foods.. and contrary to popular belief.. carbs are good for you.
1 more thing... to maintain body weight, the calories you are losing should equal the calories you are taking in.. so try to expend (slightly) the amount of calories you take in.. and burn more calories, or vise versa. Remember to hydrate and you shouldnt be losing more than 2% of your body weight in a single session.

I hope I helped somehow.. good luck!

Well I guess in the US it works the opposite, most skinny people go to stay in shape. But the issue is, why care what everyone else does, do what is good for you, and don't worry what others think.

To loose stomach fat you must drop 500 calories from your daily calorie intake.
Doing sit ups will not get rid of that fat. It will build up the muscle, but without the loss of excess fat it wont make your stomach look flatter.

I agree. Situps strengthen muscle, not get rid of fat.

Just watch what you eat, try to do more cardio.

I tried doing jumping jacks during the summer in my backyard. Try to do 200. Then 300. Then 400. Trust me, it's not as easy as it looks.
