1000 back crunches a night? that sounds obsessive. where do you find the time????? i have a line down my back and my back is really strong, i got that by walking every day and where i live there is heaps of hills, so my legs, butt and back are in awesome shape. I think you could lose 10lbs, but why dont you try to build some muscle while losing the fat cause that means you would be in really good shape.
