My answer to this is SAY WHAT? Where does she need to drop a few? She looks great!

I think she looks fabulous!

Whaaaaat. I would kill to look like Michelle Obama. Those arms.

Wow!

I think she's a great example of a fit, active, healthy woman.

She's pear-shaped and at times doesn't wear the most flattering outfits . . . and she's definitely put on weight as well. Honestly, yeah, she could stand to lose a few pounds. I don't think she's "fat" though.

ETA: And as the spokesperson for "Let's Move" . . .

First of all, even if she is, there shouldn't be comments on a woman's weight on national tv!

Huh? She's probably the fittest First Lady since...ever?

Erm WTF? Where would she be losing this weight from. I have seen that woman work out , she is fit and slim in great shape. Her booty is genetic and IMO beautiful. What a douche that guy is for such a comment, pathetic.

@swurlygurl: Hey there Buddah Belleh.

I agree with the sentiment that, even if she does, who's business is it but hers?!

She's not fat or unhealthy looking by any means. She looks like an average sized fit woman. She's not out there campaigning for kids to become fitness models, but for average families to DO something. And I'm sure if she was some super fit/super lean model type, people would be less apt to listen to her. But it benefits her to be relateable in many ways! But she also doesn't look like she lives off of kale and carrots like this guy "joked" about and that's ok! The more I read about him, the more douchey he seems. He just seems like an asshole.

@swurlygurl, I had the same thought. Next thing you know, he'll be giving our marriage advice. He's got like, 3 under his belt, so he's a pro now...

I think she looks absolutely amazing! I wish I had her body!!

I think she's a beautiful, healthy, active woman. And her arms are killer! Anyone who thinks she needs to "lose a few" needs their head checked.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Her arms are pretty ripped, I think she could beat that critic up!

I think she looks great!

Errrr no. She looks incredibly fit. Has she put on a few pounds over the past 6 years? I don't know, but even if she has, she's still not overweight, at least to my eye. Plus, it's totally normal for a woman's weight to fluctuate, especially as she gets older. She's obviously active and health-conscious, so I highly doubt we're going to see her transform into an obese person.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: She's got muscle definition just standing idle!

@MsLipGloss: I feel like any woman of a healthy weight could probably "stand to lose a few pounds" without entering into the category of being too thin, but that doesn't mean that they need to or even should. And I really don't understand what unflattering outfits have to do with anything.

Also, the message behind the "Let's Move" campaign is not "Be skinny" it is "Get fit" and she definitely is that and practices what she preaches. I feel like maaaaybe gaining a few pounds over the course of 6 years has absolutely no bearing on that.

Since when is being First Lady a reason to judge her physical appearance? I think that's just disgusting, however I think she's healthy, obviously works out, but she is in her 40s and we all know with age things are harder to keep tight. I think she's doing a damn good job of doing what she can to maintain her physique and Mr. Muffin top should shut his mouth.
