Firstly, you should always start out on your knees until you feel strong enough to do full push ups. This will minimalise the risk of injury. For doing push ups on both your knees or feet, follow the steps below.
You may like to use push up bars (I find push ups easier with them and they can be bought for no more than a fiver :)), and when starting on your knees, use a pillow under them to pad your knees out.
1. Lie chest-down with your hands at shoulder level, palms flat on the floor and slightly more than shoulder-width apart, your feet/knees together and parallel to each other.
2. Look forward rather than down at the floor. The first contact you make with the floor with any part of the face should be your chin, not your nose.
3. Keep your legs straight and your toes tucked under your feet.
4. Straighten your arms as you push your body up off the floor. Keep your palms fixed at the same position and keep your body straight. Try not to bend or arch your upper or lower back as you push up.
5. Exhale as your arms straighten out.
6. Pause for a moment.
7. Lower your body slowly towards the floor. Bend your arms and keep your palms in fixed position. Keep body straight and feet together.
8. Lower body until chest touches the floor. Try not to bend your back. Keep your knees off the floor, and inhale as you bend your arms.
9. Pause for a moment. Begin straightening your arms for a second push-up. Exhale as you raise your body.

Alternative diets
ABC
ABC diet (Ana Boot Camp) is good because your body doesn't stay in starvation mode. The constant fluctuation of calories means your body doesn't settle into a routine, making you lose weight very rapidly, anything up to 3lbs a day. I have had very good results on this in the past, however health warnings show this is not a diet to take up unless you seriously want to. Also, because of the low calorie intake, binging occurs frequently making you gain in the long run. Still a good diet if you have the strength. Below shows the details of the diet.
Skinny Girl Diet
Skinny Girl Diet is a lot like ABC and comes with all the same benefits, however you are allowed more calories. It's easier to complete and therefore less binging :) You also get higher calories on the weekend meaning avoiding parents' questions is easy.
2468 diet
Possibly the easiest to remember. 2468 stands for the amount of calories you eat on a given day. For example, Monday you would start with 200 calories, Tuesday 400... Thursday 800 calories. And then you'd go back to 200 for Friday.
9. Pause for a moment. Begin straightening your arms for a second push-up. Exhale as you raise your body.
