Hello Heidi and Chris. I am a fan of your show but at the same time I have been truly inspired by watching this newest season of not giving up and really helping everyone. I have had a lot go on over the past 18 to 20 years and have lost contact with a lot of friends and family over the years. I am ready to make a change. I need help. I used to play sports and was outgoing and at my smallest weight I remember being 135 to 140 before I got pregnant. I have had losses in my life and have ballooned to my highest at 345 pounds. I have dropped some weight but not satisfied. I am down to 320. Could either of you please reach out to me? I am wanting a better lifestyle for my son and I.
Hi Jessica: Check out Chris and Heidi’s complete carb cycling program in their book, “Choose More, Lose More for Life.” It’s a complete nutrition and exercise program – and it’s the same one they use with every client, including those on the show. You can learn about the nutrition basics here: https://heidipowell.net/2713/carb-cycling-101/. And here’s another great tool Chris and Heidi use: http://chrispowell.com/choose-a-promise/. You can do this! 🙂
How about someone (me) who is 5’10” and 320lbs who has blown lumbar/sacral discs with nerve impingement? 🙂
Hi,
I do not know how to contact you guys. My cousin has cerebal palsy on one side of his body and has become very overweight over the last decade. It is a challenge for him to exercise , due to lack of trying and I believe the fear of many trainers not wanting to take on such an real extreme case. Is there anyway you can reach out to him if I could provide the contact information. I am sending him the link to the open casting call, but he may be hesitant to go on TV. If he did apply there is no doubt in my mind he would be the biggest challenge on the history of your show.
I need to lose 50 lbs and gain a ton of self confidence
