After I retired my weight shot up from about 210 to 265 in about one year. I started going to Weight Watchers and following their plan, which is not so much a diet as it is just keeping track of caloric intake. You can eat however much you want, you keep track of points allotted for a specific kind of food. You get to add points for exercise, which I took advantage of. In about 3 months I got down to 205 and could see my abs for the first time in years.

Buddha that is a great amount of weight loss,well done.
I use a similar type of calorie controll eating plan called Lite N Easy. I only take in around 1500 calories a day and by drinking lots of water and exercise I've been able to successfully burn off the fat that my body has been storing for the last year.
I'm currently at 208lbs(I was at 225 about 1 month ago.) I want to get down to about 190 by May10th, my sons first birthday.

Good job also, JDog. 17 pounds in a month is massive.
The difference in Weight Watchers is let's say you eat a 6 oz. chicken breast, you get 3 points for that due to fat content and protein. If you then eat a high fiber veggie with it you might not have to take an additional point for the greens so you can eat as much of it as you want. At the end ofthe day you might have enough points left to have ice cream for dessert. Once you get used to figuring the points for specific foods it is not as mathematically challenging as a calorie count but it does get you reading labels before you buy stuff.
Good luck on the goal of 190.
