    Just my suggestion Ron...
    1. Take a couple of photos of yourself in a pair of swimmers. Get a REAL picture
    2. Go to the B&F pics and find a good one and keep it to look at every few days to remind you of what is possible.
    3. Create a new self in your head that is similar to the 'after' pic. Visualise yourself as this new image always.

    Plus all the other great suggestions you will read in here.

    Take it one meal at a time...try to get at least six glasses of water in per day.
    Good luck!
