Good luck kraken. Not a crossfit person myself, mainly because I it's too expensive (I do boxing instead) and would worry about getting a trainer who wasn't qualified to teach proper form, but have heard mixed reviews. Some swear by it, others don't. Hopefully it works out for ya.

And absolutely right about eating - abs are made in the kitchen. Paleo diet is great, I've been trying it (do have a cheat day once a week) and really enjoy it. To be honest take out cokes, bread, and fake sugar and you will be shocked at the difference. Try to drink lots of water throughout the day as well. The diet part gets easier as you go.

Good luck.
