    I'm doing the cherylpj diet. It's the only one I've tried, and it's effective.

    The MFP diet. I track what I eat and stay within my calorie goal. Always works best for me, since I never realized how much I ate before.

    The "Coyla Diet." I eat 2350 calories a day, workout hard, focus on strength-training, and avoid eating soy (due to an intolerance). I also make sure I have plenty of magnesium and potassium in my diet.

    This diet is very, very specific to me and would likely not work for anyone else.

    If you want my opinion, however, I think Weights Watchers is probably the best diet to try for anyone who's just starting.

    I'm not doing any diet. Just old fashioned calorie counting on MFP. I eat everything in moderation. I do not do lowfat. I eat carbs but not too many. I also exercise 6-7 times a week burning 300-600 calories a day. This has worked for me so far. I have been on Weight Watchers and it worked for me as well.

    I like Bethenny Frankel's attitude about dieting. She really doesn't diet she just uses portion control! She has the cake but not the whole piece. I've adopted some of her ideas/methods.

    I went mostly Paleo a couple of weeks ago. There have been a few cheat days but it's working out for me! My sleep improved dramatically the first week and that was enough to push me forward.

    I've been doing the "Half a Pizza at Least Once a Week" diet since December 2010.

    IIFYM diet. I try to eat about 300 calories below my TDEE, at least 1 gram of protein for every pound of lean body mass, 0.3 grams of fat for every pound of lean body mass. I lift weights using Strong Lifts 5x5 three times a week. I do low-moderate intensity cardio 2-5 times a week for about a half hour.

    No diet - that implies a short term change.

    I'm doing something I hope is sustainable, not just a short term fix.

    I'm just tracking my calories, eating 1500-1750 a day, and exercising.

    Nothing specific. I just eat under my maintenance level and lift heavy.

    I've changed my eating habits and daily calorie intake. I also workout 7 days a week. It's working best for me :)

    I'm actually just watching my calorie intake. I run for 20 minutes and 10 minutes on an elliptical. I'm also taking Hydroxycut...i'm not sure how effective it is, but it can't hurt to try. I'm really trying to lose a lot of weight by the end of April...any other diets or tips I should try?
