Beyonce Knowles Shape Magazine April 2013

Beyonce Knowles talks about weight gain in the new issue of Shape Magazine, editor-in-chief, Tara Kraft reveals.

Shape's April 2013 issue features Knowles.

"I gained 57 pounds when I was pregnant. I didn't have a lot of time to lose the weight, because I scheduled a show three months after I gave birth, which I would never do again," Knowles says. "I'm not a person that is naturally very thin. I am a person that has to work at keeping my body in shape," she goes on to say, adding that dance is what keeps her active.

"Not everyone is supposed to be the same. Be healthy and take care of yourself, but be happy with the beautiful things that make you, you."
