Wearing a printed trench coat and pinstripe pants, Pam walks out to show off her new style.

"I'm very conscious of the fact that Pam is going through a weight loss transition," Tim says. "I wanted an item that would go with her on the rest of the journey so ... as Pam continues to diminish, the trench will shrink with her because of the way the belt is adjustable."

For Pam, losing the weight isn't just about looking good. "It's put years on my life," she says. "I had my last child at 42 and I want to be here for her. ... I [also] have my energy back."
