When doing sit ups or crunches, they will tone the stomach muscle. But you will still have a layer of fat on TOP of that muscle. In order to see the toned muscle (in other words, a flat stomach) you must do cardio exercise and improve your diet in order to lose the fat and get to the fab!

How many crunches do you need to do to lose 8 ounces of belly fat?
There is no such thing as spot reduction. You cannot reduce fat only in your abdomen by doing crunches. Unfortunately, that is not how it works. You must lose total body fat to have less fat in your stomach, so burn more calories than you're taking in. Crunches help burn some calories, and help define your stomach muscles, but will not burn fat just in that area.

Does crunches abs work am female and i have a belly but some say that crunches don't work what should i do to get a flat stomach?
It's not that crunches don't work, it's that they won't get you a flat stomach. What you want is to do cardio. Anything that gets your body moving and your heart rate up will help you lose fat. When you do lose the fat around your stomach you will see the results of the crunches (muscle definition). It's good to do both (and not just crunches other "absentric" moves) if you want a flat stomach, but being active and eating well will lose the fat that is really the point of flat stomacs.

No. Sit ups and crunches do nothing to lower stomach fat. You can not "target" fat loss. You have to lower your total body-fat percentage.

Also, Sit ups and crunches are very bad for your back. If you want to develop your stomach muscles, you should do various plank exercises. If you Google "sit ups are bad for your back" you'll see literally hundreds of pages of documentation that shows why they are bad for you. Personal fitness instructors who know what they are doing do not have their clients do sit ups and crunches anymore.

Liposuction. Apart from that the secret to a flat stomach is little body fat and decent muscles.

And short of lipo there's no way to target fat burn, so you have to lose weight all over.
