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 »

I was very inspired by this story. I have be yo yo dieting for 15 years and strayed back to old habits after loosing almost all of my undesired weight on the challenge. Upon a disappointing weigh in at my doctors office I decided to recommit but logged my frustration onto my challenge page, immediately I received a link to this story. Thank you for sharing your story Pam you look great and have inspired me to move forward again. Denise
