Hi I'm Leslie and I am 52 years old. I have chronic daily migraines that have made it very hard for me to be consistent with my diet and exercise routines in the past, but I have them somewhat under control right now and I am determined to get this weight off for good.

I am getting ready to start the "2013 Spring into Summer 5% Challenge". While doing this I will exercise at least 15 minutes daily for the 8 weeks of the challenge. I will follow the Flat Belly Diet. I will do my part to help my team by sticking to my plan, recording my daily exercise, tracking what I eat, recording my weight once a week, checking in with the team daily and commenting on discussions and/or blogs when I can.

"Time always moves forward whether you move forward or not. Your most effective strategy is to make use of each moment as soon as it arrives.
There's no end to what you can accomplish if you'll just go ahead and get going. Now is what you have, so make now your time to begin."

"Three of the most powerful words in the English language are 'I AM RESPONSIBLE.' It's tough to do, but when the day comes that you can say those words, believe them, and mean them, it will be the most liberating moment of your life. Taking responsibility for all of your results, for better or for worse, is taking back your power to create results in your life."
-Tom Venuto

"How do you build up your bank account? By putting something in it everyday.
Your health account is no different. What I do today, I am wearing tomorrow.
If I put inferior foods in my body today, I'm going to be inferior tomorrow, it's that simple.

"Conditions are never perfect. ‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.
If it’s important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually’, just do it and correct your course along the way."
