Dixie, Mine took 8 months. Hard to be precise with so little info. Why don't you fill outyour profile and stick around a while. Welcome to FT.

Dixie, your belly won't get flat from doing crunches. The crunches will develop your ab muscles and push the fat out more. You cannot spot reduce.
The only way to shed the fat is to eat healthy, and do a complete workout. Be patient and it will work.

I tell u, run every day, u gotta burn that fat, its hard but i tried and its effective, when u run, u burn fat, when u do crunches u increase muscles.
Also watch your food, eat 3-4 times per day, not one time, thats not good, eat 4 meals of small portions per day.(healty food not crap like hamburgers)

Abs take time. Keep working, be patient, and good things will happen.
