From my short experience 50 crunches are not enough.
You need to do at least 3 types of abdominal exercises (crunches are for upper abs), a good rule could be lower, middle, and upper abs.
About the reps, 50 is a way to start, but unless you can't do at least 100 in a row, I guess you are just fooling around. So 300 is a way to start and 900 (300 each in series of 100) is a good maintenance amount.
Abs is the main goal but the waist is a fat supply for the abs, so do something for the waist too.
And finally, diet is absolutely necessary to bring those abs out, if you don't do a good diet (very low fat one) your abs will be strong enough, big enough and well shaped but... you will never see them, just feel them under the fat of your tummy.

Hmmm...if you are only doing fifty crunches a day, a very long time. You should combine your crunches with cardio for a balanced excerize. Also, you should try and eat right and maintaina balnced diet. if you do ALL of this I would say two-three weeks before you start to notice them. If you dont do any of this, it may be one-two months, or you may not get any results at all.
Good job by making an effort to get in shape by the way.

It won't take long to start to see/feel the results. But you can't stay at 50 a day. Once your muscles get bigger and stronger, that same 50 won't have the same affect anymore. You need to keep doing more progressivly. But 50 is a good start.
But remember that just as important working out is, rest and what you eat are just as important. You can't work the same muscle group(s) everyday. You need to let them rest/heal or you'll just do more damage than good.

Results vary from person to person. You must however do something to burn the fat. There is no magic pill or potion--simply burn more than you take in.
Everyone and I mean everyone, from Bill Gates to Kate Moss, has a six pack. It is the muscle that runs down the midline of your abdomen called the rectus abdominos. However, there is usually fat covering this muscle, but it is there. Depending on one's genetics determines how prominent your six pack will be.
Have you considered working with a personal trainer and/or nutritionist? Way to go!!

I've read that the 6-pack is 20% ab work and 80% fat reduction. Time to results depends on the starting point.

Depends on the rest of your diet as well. If you aren't eating well you likely wont see a change at all. Your abs will feel stronger, but you wont see much of a physical improvement unless you are actually burning the calories and keeping em away.

Only do the every other day.....every day pushes them down deep in your stomache, rather than getting a 6-pack, or flat abs
