You are probably putting on muscle...

that or you should try doing it for more than a few days.

Eating schedule:
Breakfast
Mid-morning snack (fruit or vegetable)
Lunch
Mid-afternoon snack (fruit or vegetable)
Dinner
Bedtime snack (low-carb, 5g dietary fiber)

Drink lots of water or non-carbonated sugar free beverages

Excercise 30 minutes to an hour every morning. Doing this increases your metabolism along with your eating smaller meals six times a day.

Be sure to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep.

Increase your fruit and vegetable intake.

The best exercise for your stomach is cardio (walking, dancing, etc.). If this isn't done first, you'll just have muscles on top of fat when you do your ab crunches, etc.

Exercise your abs two to three non-consecutive days a week. Muscles need a day to rest.

sit ups build muscle - they dont burn fat and you cant spot reduce body fat. gaining muscle on thighs is much easier and it will burn more fat that abs can.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), weight training a few days a week but never work on the same muscle group two days in a row (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
