The main thing is that you have to remember that fat melts off the body like a snowman. It's the fattiest parts of our bodies that get skinny last. Basically I have a set of 2-3 exercises for each part of my abdominals (upper, middle, lower and obliques).

For the upper, lay flat on your back and do 15 normal crunches, keeping your elbows behind your head but make sure they are pointed completely outward (form is VERY important to this). Rest for 30 seconds, then put your knees at a 90 degree angle from your body (this is hard to explain in words) with your feet perpendicular from your body and knees together. Do 15 more reps and rest 30 more seconds. Then put your foot together and spread your knees as far apart as possible. Same deal, 15 reps, but this time rest for 2 minutes before you begin the middle abs.

For the middle, put your hands underneath your hips/butt and pull your knees straight to your chest and then back out but never touch the floor. Also do these for 15 reps and rest for 30 seconds. The next exercise is to alternate knees to your chest (like a bicycle) for 15 reps for each leg.

Rest for 2 minutes and then get in the push-up position. Except in this position, rest your elbows and forearms on the floor. Suck in your abdominals muscles are hard as you can for a count of 60-80 and make sure you breathe. Basically, try to get your belly button to "touch" your spinal cord.

I gotta run out for a second, but I'll be back and list the rest...
