hello,
well I'm 23 and looking to make some changes in my life. I haven't decided on a diet plan yet which is making it very difficult to set goals or even get started. I think I'm more of a sheep, I need something to follow or at least someone to talk to!

I'm 23, and new here as well. It's been great so far. But don't think you have to find "the perfect plan/solution" today, and certainly don't think you have to find the right solution before you can start. I've been searching for the right plan to follow for years and I haven't found it yet, so now I'm kind of making it up as I go. I'd love to talk to you though. I'm online 3 or 4 times a day, so you can count on me to be here when you need support. Trust me, it helps more than you think.
If you're still if-y about where to start, why not try something small that any diet would recommend? I think every health plan (not just diet) I've heard of encourages you to drink a lot of water. Start small, and try adding just a few glasses of water a day and work up to the recommended 64 oz. Or, start exercising, even just a short walk around the block if you're not very active now. Every little bit counts!
The most important thing is that you've decided to make a change. Stick with it, and stick with us, and we'll all accomplish our goals together!
Best of luck,
~Elisha
