Pam El's Weight Loss Success Story
No Stopping Me
Pam El was heavy for most of her adult life. But the 51-year-old was never sad or downtrodden about her size. “I was 217 pounds, 5-feet and 2-inches tall, size 18, but I was still very energetic and happy. A lot of time weight depresses people; my weight didn’t depress me it was just a little bit of an inconvenience. And because of my professional success and my personal life: a wonderful husband of 15 years who is also my best friend—I just didn’t take the time to stop and say how can I make this better for myself from a physical standpoint,” explains the businesswoman.
Tamara Harbison lost a whopping 125 lbs. in 9 months. See photos of her amazing weight loss »

Pam, congratulations on your success, the drive really comes from deep within. I have just recently purchased "Extreme Fat Smash" and will begin my 40lb challenge. Your story inspired me. Keep up the good work, and you look wonderful!

Ms. Pam this is a wonderful time in your life. Live it to the fullest. We each reach that point in our lives when we know it is time to make a change. Just as you have reached yours,so have I,my daughter,and some new friends I made along the way. We all meet at the Ymca thru the absolute amazing Zumba instructor,Camela. This has been a wonderful journey and we are now a group who as The Women On A Mission have gone forth and won two weight lose challenges and are currently competing in the third one. Weight lose is a big issue not only in our community,but every where. I touches both the young and the old,black white or whatever. We as a nation have to decide it is time to take care of ourselves. You go girl for doing your part. Keep up the good work.
