How do I work my stomach muscles without hurting my back?

I pulled something in my back a few weeks ago. I think it was due to doing Pilates. It was really good for working my stomach, but now I’m afraid to hurt my back again. What kinds of exercises can I do without injuring my back?

What am I doing wrong??

I have been trying to lose weight for months now. I run 4 days a week, 2-3 miles each time. I also take a Pilates class once a week. My diet is similar to this– high fiber cereal for breakfast, slimfast bar as a snack, a 230 calorie meal for lunch (usually the microwavable kind from weigh watchers), whole wheat pasta, lean chicken breast, rice or veggies for dinner. I usually have desert after dinner but I don’t go overboard. So, why am I not losing weight?! I am still the same size as when I started running months ago and I have noticed only a slight difference in my body. I drink water and watch my portion size, but nothing helps. I am so frustrated that I feel like giving up. Could there be something medically wrong with me? Most of my fat is in my hips and stomach. It won’t budge! Help!
