dont give up too easily when u reach a stalemate at the end of week 2 (my friends and me did)
also i wonder why so many people in this thread do pushups everyday? doesnt muscle need rest in order to grow?
yea, usualy they need 48h to rest, at the least, so doing it only all two days, is better o,o
that's how I do it, just do something else the other day, like arms on that day, then abs/legs, then arms, abs/legs, arms..... etc;)

This can be a fun game to do! I remember when I was 15 I made a bet with a friend. The first to make 100 pushups, for 20€ lol.
Took me like 3-4 months I think, and now I have man boobs  because I kept doing pushups/exercise during high school.
I think you should try to reach the point where you can make 3 perfect 15 pushup series with 60 seconds in between each series. Once your body is used to that, keep making these 3 15 series everyday. If you make small series like this your will develop your muscle size A LOT but won't gain much strenght compared to super series. After you see some progresses in your trainning and feel comfortable with these 15 series, try to go for something more heavy. Time to test your limits, make as many as you can in a row. After that rest for some minutes and try to make the 3 15 series after. Keep doing that you will have monster arms and tits fast.

Good luck
If you get bored try free-weights. They aren't massively expensive, bit more interesting to use and they tend to utilise more muscle groups.

Tried the test, got 50 (60kg, 180cm). Looks fun to do, but I 'll stop again anyway when I start going back to the gym after the holidays and a long long hiatus. 
What it has over using gym equipment is exercising more muscles at the same time because you have to balance your body etc while doing it, so it's good stuff. =)

just got home from the gym. feels good man

Yeah, the most exercise I've gotten in the past year is running around in my underwear for a university finals celebration. So, this is just a first step while I still have high metabolism.

5 pushups, and you want to train yourself for 100? This isn't as easy as you think and your body of "a starving African child" won't change that much.
Maybe it will be better for you to work with weights and eat a lot?

Eh, if I hit 100 great. If not, I'm not going to stress myself out over it. I'll probably end up repeating days and such while working up to it. As far as a body image thing, I'm pretty fine with the way I look. It's just more about feeling stronger.

Good luck, and make sure to stay motivated. Do not skip a day or give up at any point. That is how I got out of shape );
