In case you forgot, Michelle Obama’s "Let’s Move " Campaign is still in full effect! She’s on a mission to knock out child obesity and promote a healthy lifestyle through fitness and good eating habits,(and that’s what we’re all about too!) MECKids wants the best for you, and a fit lifestyle will lead to way healthier bodies! The campaign website is having a vote on which Apple "Apps" they should add for kids, to get them motivated about exercise. But don’t take my word for it, log on and find out more! The first lady has blogs, information and activities all about her campaign and the steps towards fitness!

If you haven’t heard the buzz, there’s a new campaign going around that’s being addressed throughout the nation and it’s called “Let’s Move!” No this isn’t a campaign for dance classes, it’s about ending childhood obesity and beginning healthier lifestyles. Sound familiar? That’s right; Michelle’s campaign has a lot of the same goals as MECKids, which is why it’s so important for us to voice our outlook on it! We believe in this campaign and promoting fit lifestyles by encouraging healthy choices and lots of exercise! Together, we can all “get moving” on this campaign and stomp out childhood obesity? Let us know what you think about the new “Let’s Move” campaign by posting a comment.

This past week, Michelle Obama sat down with Newsweek to talk about her efforts on Childhood Obesity. It has always been clear that this issue has been a passionate subject matter for the first lady. However, this article shed light on some of the reasons why. In the article Michelle Obama states that “she was living like most busy mothers — a husband traveled a lot, she had a full-time job, she bought for convenience and cost. And saw some changes — or my pediatrician saw some changes in her children’s diet that caused him to say, “Hold on.” She thought she was like most mothers – thinking she was doing absolutely everything that she was supposed to be doing”. What about this is so telling you ask? It is that childhood obesity can sneak up on ANYONE at ANYTIME! However, due to the work that Michelle Obama and her “Let’s Move” Campaign are doing; people are gaining the understanding and knowledge needed to fight the disease.
