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, what an inspiring story. Your story has encouraged me to eat healthier and to exercise. I am ill and have to be non-weight bearing due to a diabetic non-healing wound, but I will stop using that as an excuse and exercise sitting down and pedaling on this bicycle pedal thing I received for Christmas. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!
