Alright, well heres the story; Since the end of novemeber, I have lost about 65 pounds. I went from 225, to 161 as of this morning. Yes i do eat in case someone asks that question. I have lost weight before but never to this extant. Now i would really like to start working on toning my body. Mostly my abs/chest muscles. I know doing sit ups and push ups is probably the best.

It needs to be something that i can do at home, i don't have time to get to a gym. Although i do have a weight lifting set with a bench and stuff, its not set up right now.

But if just continue to do, sits up and push ups. How many should i do, how much should i increase it, etc?

Right now, i'm doing about a 100 sit ups and a day and 20 push ups. I'm 18, and in decent shape. Don't know if that helps or not.

But thanks for any advice guys.

If you can setup that bench, here is what you can do:
For Chest:
Bench Presses -6-8 x 6-8 reps
Incline Presses-6 x 6-8 reps
Push up do 50 per session.

For Abs:
Side to side twists 3 sets 50 reps
Lying leg raises 3 sets 25-30 reps
Hanging knee raises 3 sets 25-50 reps
