Weight training for women - how much weight to start with and how much is safe?

. . . asked:
I’ve just started weight training exercises and I was just wondering what is the average weight a woman can bench press and curl when she first starts, and how much weight is safe for a woman to build up to?
and I have always heard that woman can lift weights and not look like the women in body building magazines. Am I wrong? That’s not the look I’m after.
I don’t want to look like a man for God’s sake

I have never started in this world of weight training with proper weights and blah blah blah. Well, let me start off witht he details. I am (I think) 5′10″, 150 lbs. or so, and completley unexperienced in this field. I was interested in trying to change my body for the better this summer since I have nothing to do. But I still have some stuff, and, therefore, do not want to spend all my day just working out. I am completley confused on what to use what to do etc. Please help!
Sorry, my age is 14, going to start high school in the fall.

Also, I don’t want to deal with a bunch of equipment, maybe something small like dumbbells or something similar. I also want to eat a good diet, but don’t want crazy protein shakes and stuff like that! I don’t mind natural healthy drinks though.
I also have access to pool, if that helps at all. I love to swim in it.
I also don’t want to work outside my home. Sorry if this is making it very hard, but this is what I have to work with. (The pool is at my home, by the way)
