Melt it off - hit the blow torch

If I tell you, the time has come for me to work on my physique. I want a 6-pack, and I want my wife to love my abs. (Abs most certainly do stuff to make your whole body look better. The question is how to get the upper and lower abs working, as well as the side obliques, and just do a melt off for the fat.)

So, my aim is to get moving on a proper exercise program to get my metabolism soaring and of course make sure that I eat properly. I need to find recipes that don't add fatty mass to my body, and also I need to take the fat that I have and melt it off, hit it with a blow torch or simply nuke it, get a high calorie burning activity happening.

I will have to stay that my motivation is up there, but I need something that will keep my motivation up. Something that will give me a kick start and then keep me going and melting it off. I want to start the journey to transform my body in something I am proud of. I want to be lean and firm.
