Hi Amy, and welcome.

First, can you tell us a few more details? height, weight, activity level, diet, that sort of thing?

Second, the first thign you should do around here is go to the various sections and read the various sticky threads. They are packed with usuful information that will give you a thorough grounding in the basic stuff you need to know.

Don't be scared. You can do this if you want to. There are many people on this forum who will be happy to offer advice.

Welcome.

I'll add my agreement to what Cord said. Read the sticky posts - there's a lot of good information on exercise and proper nutrition.

Long term you can't look at this as going on a diet - you have to make a lifetime change in how you think of food and exercise. You don't have to starve yourself or deprive yourself or be miserable.
