One way of making ur tummy flater is controled sit ups that are SLOW and Steady.Dont go fast,as its quality and not quantity that gets ur tum looking trim.Also,bread and pasta can bloat the tum so if u have a nite out planned try to eat protein and not so many carbs the day b4 the night out. For a permanant trim tummy u cant beat pilates,honest,it lengthens the tummy muscles and strengthens from deep below and not just the top of the muscle.Good luck and remember,curves are the way to go,look at posh spice,she looks hidious!!xx

Try doing 150 situps and 10 crunches a day. Also run 1/2 to one mile a day. I did this and have lost 10 pounds in a couple months and my stomach looks flatter.

A flat stomach won't appear overnight and it does take a lot of hard work. Unfortunately you can not just spot reduce your stomach, and sit-ups and crunches alone will not get you the results that you are seeking.  In order to slim it down and make it flat, you must reduce the fat in and around this area.  I would suggest that you minimize consumption of fats, refined carbohydrates, and sugars, and eat a healthy balanced diet. \n\nAlso maybe start a good, low intensity cardio program, like walking or slow jogging, to help you lose fat instead of just burning calories.  Pilate's and Yoga are very good for core strengthening, which will also help you gain a flat stomach. \n\nSlower, controlled movements are much better than rapid/quick actions like with fast sit ups. Try and focus more on your form and technique rather than how many you can do, and you will see results faster. Try and vary your exercises daily, so that you don't get to bored. Also, a belly ball is a very good investment. \n\nMost importantly, try to keep a positive attitude and definitely make sure to keep a positive body image.  I don't know why you are seeking a flat stomach but here's something to think about for a moment; Intelligence, paired with a good attitude, and a gentle smile, always projects self confidence, and looks amazing in pretty much anything you wear.\n \nHope I was helpful!\n\nGood luck!

Change your cooking / eating behavior for healthier and happier results.  You'll enjoy it and will stick with it, and you will save money.\n\nMake your own broth based soups.  The broth is filling, healthy, and versatile.  Capitalize on it.  Make a large batch.  Freeze small portions of it for quick thawing and reheating.\n\nAvoid cheeses, sugars, and stick with whole grain breads.\n\nGrazing is best.  That means eat smaller meals throughout the day.  About every 2 hours, eat something to keep the calories burning.\n\nBrisk walking (tread mill will do) for at least 45 minutes, 3 times a week will work wonders burning fat.\n\nCrunches.  Do them correctly, and your abs will tighten up, and you'll notice it.  Lie on your back, feet propped up, hands either behind your neck or criss crossed against your chest.  Lift your shoulders only only enough to give that crunch to your abs while keeping your back on the floor.

Turn your daily chores into a trainig regimine. I'm a boxer and I use that to keep in shape. Like what you pick up laundry, tighten your stomach, bend at the knees and lift your cloths, this is a nonpainful way to do sit up with out actually doing them. If you need to grab something tighten them muscles and turn at the waist and grab somethign on your left with your right hand. This works your side sumcles. What also works wonders and this works for a lot of Martial artists. When you are resting and sitting at home just watching tv, turn your comercial breaks into training set, sit up, sorry to target those musles they must be done. you might also try walking around the house on your tip toes this tightens and firms your calves and thoughs, and the extra callorie burn might reduce your belly fat. also eat smaller meals and drink plenty of water. Another great solution is to stop drinkiong all sugar drinks for a week and drink only water for a week, try to eat resposibly durring that week and this will trick your body into burning the fat it is storing instead of storing more, then after the week ease back into drink soda and jiuces, this will reduce your need to sode, but keep up the juices, your body breaks those sugars down faster than sugar in soda.

First of all, congrats on your weight loss efforts! If you want to flatten and tone your stomach, what you need to do is strength train. That means doing crunches (the regular crunch and reverse crunch), the bicycle crunch, the side crunch, the ab reach and the crunch on a workout ball are all good. For info on doing these exercises check out: http://www.toneteen.com/exercises/stomach.htm \n\nDoing these exercises with weights will help build muscle and your abs will look even better! Good luck!

Spot reduction does not work.  You need to lose fat in order for your stomache to be flatter.  Keep doing your ab exercises, but also do cardio like walking, running, aerobics, etc.  Don't forget about a healthy diet.

You need to hit the gym babe and you gotta go on daily jogs. Do 100 to 200 situps each night. You should see results. Oh, and it may sound prissy, but Pilates really work too! My stomach got flatter and I formed some abs in about a month of all that and eating right. You're doing great with the eating(make sure your portion size isn't too big). You're half way there!

Just exercise and take your time to get back into shape...that "extra" skin will go away...you may not ever have the flat tummy you once had, but you certainly will "shed" the gummy extra skin that you have right now.  I can remember how mortified I was following my first child...but it will get better : )  Enjoy your little one, he will grow up fast!!!

HA! I thought you were talking about the ones inside the turkey along with the giblets....DUH! \n\nAnyway, I do some exercises that I read about in Cosmopolitan, and they have worked wonders. One thing you can do is stretch your neck as far out and upward as you can. Repeat this whenever you think about it. Also, another good one (and this helps to prevent your facial cheeks from sagging is to silently mouth the letters A-E-I-O-U, making sure that you stretch your mouth like you are really annunciating each letter. It's best to do this in private, because you won't get funny looks from your kids or others!! LOL!) These simple exercises really do work, and make you look much younger if you do them faithfully! Luckily, my neck didn't show it very bad when I lost weight, because I started doing these exercises about 10 years ago. As you get older, your skin loses elasticity, and is much harder to tone. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the loose tummy skin. Do you have any ideas?????? Good luck with the neck exercises, though! :)

it just really depends on how stretched your skin is beforehand.  Some cheats, though.....do exercises that work your lower back and 'love handles'.  This will help with posture and help with appearence of a not-tucked-tummy.  Anything to stregthen your mid section.  Also, vitamin E can help tone your skin so it isn't so loose.

nothing is going to get the tummy flat but diet and exercise.  Don't believe crunches alone will do it.  Crunches will strengthen the abdominal muscles but will not get rid of the fat.  It is fat on top of the muscles that makes the tummy protrude.  I would suggest removing crabs from your diet and increase the proteins.  Breads would include, pasta, breads, rice, and potatoes. you will get enough carb intakes from fruits...but stay away from bananas.

Swimming is the best exercise. Do stomach crunchs (where you go up half way) to flatten your tummy.
