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.

Pam: Bless your soul. Congratulations on your accomplishment so far with your weight loss. I feel the same as you, the weight is an inconvenience. I have been a yo-yo for many years. My weight gain started with my first pregnancy. I tried all paid programs that you can think about. Then finally tried my own several years ago and lost 63 ponds in 8 months!! Eleven years ago, I have 2 brain aneurysms and a stroke and subsequent brain surgery, since then several back surgeries and more medical problems that will bore you. I feel like I am a certified yo-yo in the weight loss battle. I had joined Dr. Ian's 50 Million Pounds program but could not get a commitment from anyone to work with me and these are people who need to be on the program! In between hospital and work, I am always on the run. I pray that I will be able to be as courageous as you to get with the program as I know it will truly help my health issues. God bless you J Folkes
