    I usually don't lift in a string bikini...and even if I did, I certainly wouldn't look like a man.

    If you really want your friend's help, buy a couple of books (starting strength or all about powerlifting), buy a food scale and use it, be consistent. I suspect that your friend doesn't want to invest the time/effort if you aren't going to invest an equal amount of time/effort.

    Definitely won't look like a man unless you already look like one

    So I finally decided to do something. My friend is a competitive power lifter and recommended this site and bodybuilding.com to get on track. She said I’ll have to start eating differently and lifting weights. She is totally ripped, but I don’t think that I want to look like a man. She also is refusing to help me out until I get my butt in gear. I’ve given up before I started many times before - so maybe she’s thinking it may motivate me? Anyhow, what are some easy ways to get started? I want to show her what I can do on my own!
    I would be light weight insulted, you asked for help from a competitive power lifter then you go on to say she is ripped, but you don't want to look like a man, as if she looks like a man. Maybe you should seek assistance from a person that you wouldn't mind looking like, so you won't "look like a man". I don't blame her for refusing to help you.

    One of the things that works for me is logging. It brings out my obsessive traits and I have actually stuck with a workout or meal plan just because I didn't want to break the streak in my log book.

    The first thing you need to do is just start. Start moving. The main ingredient for success in this endeavor is consistency.
