Not long ago, we were telling you that Tyra Banks had lost some weight – dropped four dresses sizes, to be more accurate – and that she was saying how she felt and looked greater than ever. Inspired by the change she made in her own life, the former model is now on a mission to help other women as well lose weight, as JustJared can confirm.

Tyra has shot the episode that will air today on her show and it will be centered on the theme “Get Your Shape in Shape!” On it, the model will try to inspire women from all over the world to get more exercise by simply moving around more and, this way, losing weight and getting the desired figure. She will also stress the importance of realizing that losing weight means more than just picking up a new diet.

As Banks puts it, losing weight is often a lifestyle change that has to be made at the right time and for the right reasons in order to be maintained. Otherwise, the weight loss is only temporary, leading to what is known as the yo-yo effect, as many women must have already found out the hard way. “It’s not about being skinny, it’s about getting in the best shape that you can be.” Tyra tells her viewers, all women who feel they could stand to lose one more pound.

Tyra herself is the type of celebrity who has never shunned the topic of body image, especially after photos of her on vacation surfaced, showing her a bit more on the plump side. She always insisted that she was feeling good about herself even when she was heavier. More recently, after the weight loss, she said she decided to change something about her body – and, implicitly, life – because she wanted to be healthier and not because she didn’t like her figure anymore.

The conclusion is that if she could do it, anyone can. “If I can do it and love to lay up and not work out and I love me some BBQ ribs and some ice cream and some Haagen-Dazs, I can do this! And you can do this and still eat what you want, just not every second!” Tyra tells her audience on the episode of the Tyra Banks Show that airs tonight.
