I just had to share this tip with you, so that you have something to think about over the weekend. It is by Jillian Michaesl from the Biggest Loser on NBC. As you know she has her own weight loss plan and I signed up for the sake of get healthy knowledge for my brain that will better help me to continue living a healthy lifestyle and not to revert back to the old me. I loved the I signed up because I get daily words of motivation from her and it gets me psyched up to make better decisions each day. Anyway, I would like to share her “One Size Doesn’t Fit All” with you and if you love it check her out and sign up too.
Enjoy!
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Ever try to squeeze your foot into a shoe that’s one size too small just because you love the style? Doesn’t work, does it? Well, maybe you can cram your feet into those shoes for the sake of a special evening, but you can’t wear them all the time. They’re just too uncomfortable!Starving yourself with the goal of creating a physique that’s contrary to your natural body type is a similar thing. You might get there for month or two, but eventually your body will rebel.
Ultimately, there are three basic body types. It’s important to understand your shape and know what you can and can’t expect. Which one best describes you?
* The apple shape. The apple tends to store fat in his or her upper body, so if a person is carrying extra weight, it is usually around the belly. Fat stored in the upper body can lead to heart disease, so it is important for apples to be health conscious. Apples have evolved to store fat in this way to adapt to long periods of famine.
* The pear shape. Pears hold the majority of their fat in the lower body: hips, buttocks, saddlebags. Pears are mostly women. This shape has evolved because fat stored in these areas aids in fertility and breast-feeding. This type of fat is not as much of a health risk as abdominal fat, but it is harder to lose.
* The proportioned shape. Lucky proportionates have fat cells distributed equally throughout their entire body. When they gain weight, they gain it everywhere. When they lose weight, it comes off evenly.

Great post!
Also to mention…if you are one shape and do starve yourself down to a different shape for some silly reason such as physique competition, you may come back as a different shape. I am a pear now and wasn’t one before my contest.

I think if I would have let myself bulk more though my middle and arms would have gotten bigger so I agree with what Visionquester is saying. Bodies are weird
