You don't need to spend hours planning a complex workout plan to meet your goals. If you were already in good/great shape and wanted to get into killer shape, thats when you need to get fancy with exact meal plans and workout strategies.
But for the basics (which I think apply to what you're wanting) it boils down to 2 simple things:
1- Eat sensibly: Instead of 3 square (large) meals a day, have 5 smaller meals. Leave off the things like cheese, sour cream, etc if you do eat out once in awhile. When possible, avoid processed foods.
2- Lots of excercise: Do a mix of weight training and cardio workout. Being 300 lbs, running might be really tough on your joints to start... swimming is great for a zero-impact workout, elliptical machines are very low-impact as well. Most importantly, just find a cardio workout that you enjoy doing... if its not swimming or jogging, maybe racquetball or basketball... anything like that.. Having fun makes it a lot easier to do it consistently.
There's nothing magic about losing weight. Eat better and excercise lots. With all the books out there and different approaches, people tend to lose sight that it boils down to those 2 simple things.
Oh, and willpower. That's probably the most important (and overlooked) component necessary.
Good luck
