    Sit ups (if done properly) will strengthen the muscles but you'll never see it because there is a layer of fat above it. You'll need to find a way to do some cardiovascular exercise to burn that off. Just think of the simple formula: if you burn more calories than you put in then you will lose fat.

    Well, like NeedKarma says, crunches will, more than anything, build your abdominal muscles. You won't lose any fat there, though the motion of doing crunches probably burns off some calories.

    What you need to do is cardiovascular exercise; without any equipment (such as a stationary bike, elliptical, treadmill, etc.), it's kind of hard. You could do jumping jacks or jump rope. If you have the space, do laps around your back yard (or your front yard... ).

    Basically, you need to start moving. Do that, go on a good, healthy diet, and you'll lose weight.

    I just thought of something else. If you have a boyfriend, and you're of age, refuse sex. He'll start chasing you around the house. Make sure you can run away from him for at least 30 minutes or so. Then have sex. That way you'll get 32 minutes of solid exercise.

    This is an easy one. Whether on a treadmill or outside, run a lot and eat healthy. Do crunches three times a week. Instead of drinking soda or beer, try drinking mostly water and 100% juice instead. Do this for awhile without focusing on your weight and watch the magic happen. Running (cardio) is the key. By the way, if you have some weights throw those into your workout after cardio.

    Do you like workout videos? Slim in 6 works - but it is kind of boring. It has great toning for belly, thighs and butt.

    Another good source of at-home exercises is the website at Lady's Home Journal

    Lie on your back with your hands behind your head and your legs extended and lifted directly over your hips so they are perpendicular to the floor. Turn feet out slightly. Lift your heat off the floor and look toward your legs. Inhale and lower your legs toward the floor several inches, exhale and return to start, 4-6 reps to start work up to 10.

    Lie face up on the floor, legs extended hands loose behind your head, slowly bring your left elbow across your body while bending your right knee and lifting your leg toward your chest as far as comfortable, hold and lower back to start, repeat, alternating sides, twist torso not neck.
    Besides that you have to change diet to lose body fat percentages on your belly, smaller portions of healthy foods are the key, read nutritional labels and stick to one portion sizes, of whole grain cereals, pasta, rice and breads, fruits and veggies, and lean protein, skinless chicken, turkey breast, loin type meats and fish (2-3 oz ) portions, nuts and seeds, only a palmful for cravings and added protein.
