Pushups- standard, on knees, feet propped up on a chair, leaning on a wall, upper body propped up on a couch, hands wide.
Crunches- feet on floor, lets bent in air, legs straight in air, bicycle crunch, full sit-ups, oblique crunches, plank.
Lunges- walking lunges, stationary lunges, side lunges, reverse or front lunges.

This is a great workout plan. It reminds me of the body sculpt class I am taking. The only difference is that we actually use weights as resistance for a lot of these exercises. Start off light (about 5 lb weights.) and work the resistance weight up.
I have lost 30 lbs with a similar exercise program and healthy diet in 2 months. But I work out with weights 3 times a week and do cardio 5 times a week for about 30-60 min/day

50 reps each? thats 300 pushup and you hav'nt even started crunches! Are you trying to kill us?
How about starting with fewer reps and working up to more. Seems pretty good, gets the whole body. And its nice that it does not require equipment.
If you do this every day and eat well, your body will go to its natural healthy weight.

No matter what everyone reaches a "plateau" where no more weight can be lost. Try bellydancing on top of your current regimen when that happens... gives you groove, I swear.
Also, promise not to pull a "Nicole Ritchie" on us.... thinner is okay but thin is not okay.
