Happiness for me is when my kids are good and when my family is whole.

I talk about the food issue, I'm really coming at it from pre-White House times, when I was a working mother with a busy husband, a very demanding job and two little kids to feed....

Yes, I'm First Lady, but I know the struggles.

'Let's Move!' is not about having government tell people what to do, because government doesn't have all the answers.

There is no magic to achievement. It's really about hard work, choices, and persistence.

I always want to be on the cusp of being in the best shape that I can be. What I'm discovering is that the older you get, the more work you have to do to stay there.

I try to have no absolute nos. I love french fries, I like a good burger, and I like pie. And that's okay.
