Kirstyjane, I was huge when I was pregnant, so expected to stay flabby round the stomach, but I did sit ups and leg raisers morning and night. It DOES work, but you have to do a lot of them.

Invest in a trampette, think there only about 20/30 quid....you jump up n down on them and twist left to right and you bounce, it works all the muscles in the stomach and if you feel them whilst doing it they go quite solid, what with the twisting side to side...worked a treat for me!!! Also it does your legs as well

Sadly you may find that your body just stores fat around the stomach area like it does me and many other people!
Unless you cut back on the chocolate and other fattening stuff you will never know. You don't have to cut it out completely, everything in moderation!
I have had to go on a low fat diet with lots of exercise to get a toned tummy and it has taken a good few months. You can see it getting flatter though the more you exercise which is good!
I do lots of sit ups, kicks, twisting and jumping around!
