Is there such a thing as an unsuccesful pear?
Pears are one of the world's oldest cultivated and beloved fruits. In 5,000 B.C., Feng Li, a Chinese diplomat, abandoned his responsibilities when he became consumed by grafting peaches, almonds, persimmons, pears and apples as a commercial venture. In The Odyssey, the Greek poet laureate Homer lauds pears as a "gift of the gods." Pomona, goddess of fruit, was a cherished member of the Roman Pantheon and Roman farmers documented extensive pear growing and grafting techniques. Thanks to their versatility and long storage life, pears were a valuable and much-desired commodity among the trading routes of the ancient world. Evident in the works of Renaissance Masters, pears have long been an elegant still-life muse for artists. In the 17th century a great flourishing of modern pear variety cultivation began taking place in Europe. And in popular culture, the pear tree was immortalized alongside a partridge in the 18th-century Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas.
Early colonists brought the first pear trees to America's eastern settlements where they thrived until crop blights proved too severe to sustain widespread cultivation. Fortunately, the pear trees brought west to Oregon and Washington by pioneers in the 1800's thrived in the unique agricultural conditions found in the Pacific Northwest. Today's Northwest pear varieties are the same or similar to those first cultivated in France and Belgium where they were prized for their delicate flavor, buttery texture, and long storage life.
As more sophisticated irrigation and growing techniques developed during the past century, pear orchards flourished dramatically in the Northwest's river valley regions located in a serpentine sprawl from Northern Central Washington to Central Southern Oregon.
Today, pear orchards in Oregon and Washington are as specialized as the regions that support them. Organic, commercial and multi-generation family orchards all contribute high-quality fruit to the Northwest's fresh pear industry. Consumer interest and enjoyment of Northwest pears grows each year. Thanks to advancements in Controlled Atmosphere (CA) storage technology, fresh USA Pears are available to consumers nearly year-round.

No success story here (yet) and when I read fitness magazines success stories or monthly stories on following featured womens weightloss/fitness they seldome are pear shaped -- I beleive genetically pear shaped women have a more difficult time losing weight and shaping up. Well, at least that's what I've noticed (and speaking from personal experience).0

I'm almost exactly where you were at the start. 5'10'' and 367 pounds. I've been up and down by 10 pounds for the past month and a half. It's getting frustrating, but seeing your success is very motivating. Thank you and awesome job!!!0 -
I would never eat a 5'4" pear because there's no way a fruit that size isn't GMO.0

5'10", highest weight 180. I wish I could find some pics from my heaviest weight but they're all at my parents. Last time I weighed in I was 154 (lowest 137). Even at my lowest weight, the fat wants to stick my inner thighs and butt. I wish it would stay on my boobs >:(0 -
