Since we started the Let's Move! initiative, I've been looking for as many ways as possible to help families and kids lead healthier lives.

Claims have been made that I've been on a strict workout routine regulated by co-stars, whipped into shape by trainers I've never met, eating sprouted grains I can't pronounce and ultimately losing 14 pounds off my 5'3" frame.

If I were to lose 14 pounds, I'd have to part with both arms. And a foot.
