My stomach won't go down :(

First off, you cannot spot reduce.

Do you drink water? If so you are not logging it. Lean meat, good fats, and what not. I see there are a lot of times you are more then 1000 calories below your goal. Are you eating enough? Eating enough is very important.

dont do crunches. workout the whole body instead.
dont eat way to less.
eat more protein
be on deficit 5x/week 100-500 less of your tdee.

I drink lots of water throughout the day! Way more than 2 litres, but going to click when I have a drink whilst looking after a 4 year old is a bit of a nightmare. I worked out my TDEE minus (with help) to 1500-1600 calories so that's where I aim too. I just add my exercise calories in to system because they make me feel good! I have already upped my calories from 1200, which is where MFP had me. I definitely don't starve myself

I understand about the toddler, I have a 3 yr old and a 10 yr old, both are very needy lol. I've learned to include my 3 yr old in my workouts, 3 circuit training is what I've done, never stepped foot into a gym. Lean protein as someone else mentioned, cut back on your carbs and up your protein with healthy clean protein.

^ this

Wait. Are you really using TDEE and eating exercise cals back, or did I misunderstand? If that's what you're doing, stop.

Either do TDEE - x% and don't eat exercise cals back, or do MFP method and do eat exercise cals back.

couple of years ago i started on here at 202 lbs and got down to 147.5

Can you guess at what point my belly looked the slightest bit different?

The last 5 lbs.

My body would rather eat its own foot than give up that belly fat.

No, she said she adds them to MFP to make her feel good, she doesn't say she eats them!

I think we all have somewhere that's slower to get smaller than everywhere else. My hips are my area that I'm slow to lose from, but I did eventually. I found increasing my calories from 1200 to 1500 helped, as well as a variety of exercises, including strength training.

lay off the wheat. my mom is thin but had a a bit of a belly she stopped eating wheat for a month and no more belly.

and as for sit up, that builds muscle in your abs so it may stick out more.
I know thats what it did for many woman I know.

CLA Tonin (spellcheck?) is said to help with that. Or even just fish oil.

But as others have said, there is no way to spot reduce.

Have you tried standing ab exercises? T25 for example, has half of the ab session without being on the ground. And I've heard of other exercises that allow you to never have to actually do sit ups that will strengthen the abs. As you lose weight, the stomach will eventually shrink. Might as well have those ab muscles waiting, lol.

Also, in the past I got down to 130lbs but still had that belly pooch! On a 5'7" frame, 130 is quite slender. It all came down to toning, eating right, and waiting to gain muscle and lose fat so it could show. I was also told by my doctor that a lot of it was skin, just loose skin because I lost weight so quickly and that give it a few months, yes months, and pampering it with lotion would help.
