I think I am more excited about this post than I have been of any in quite awhile. To be honest (and maybe TMI), things have been a little rocky over here for the Powell Pack. We have let the busyness of life get in the way of so much?most importantly our relationship. And we both notice it. I came across this gem of a video from two years ago at the perfect time. It reminds me of all the amazingness my husband is. It reminds me of his vision, his passion, his love, his compassion, and his contagious attitude. It reminds me why I am so lucky to call him mine.
This video was a surprise from me to Chris at a party we threw in 2012. Little did Chris know, I had a tattoo artist there ready to help him cross off some of his Roman numerals. Watch the video to see what I am talking about?
To date, Chris has crossed off only through 100,000. While I personally feel he has made a much bigger impact than this, I must know in the comments below who feels Chris deserves to cross off the 1,000,000, signifying One Million Lives positively impacted. Chris refuses to cross of the million until he has proof?let?s prove it to him!

i have never met Chris before, but he did help me start my own weight loss journey of my own. I would watch Extreme Weight Loss, sometimes with jealousy because these people got to have such a devoted and amazing trainer push them to there goals. Finally I just decided to get off my but and do it myself, and so far I have lost 88 well earned pounds. Chris is an inspiration to not just me, but to a lot of people and I have a feeling I am not the only one he has gotten to start their own journey without direct impact. I still watch extreme weight loss every week it’s on, because it keeps me in check. Even if he isn’t standing right in front of me telling me to get my act together, I pretend he is. I just hope I can meet Chris someday and thank him for what he has done to change my life. He deserves it. 🙂
While I am not overweight, I struggle with overeating and making healthy choices. I struggle with insecurity and comparing myself to others, never happy with myself.
Chris’ love for people shows in every episode, every facebook post, and every blog post. His encouraging words resonate with me and I have slowly started seeing myself as worthy and am learning that if I don’t care for myself, nobody is going to do that for me.
Add me to the list of people Chris’ work has helped!

Chris I understand why you want to wait to cross off the million because you probably want 1 million tangable humans…. We are here though we just don’t live in AZ 😉 and although you have people on your show and people who perhaps buy your book and still don’t lose weight…those people were still given a moment of personal insight provided by some sort of glimmer of hope YOU provided. And that my friend constitutes changing lives too #crossoffthemillion #chrishaschangedamillionlives
Chris and Heidi have both impacted my life which has in turn impacted the lives of those around me. I was 130lbs overweight and I was doing nothing about it, I started watching Chris’ show and I gained so much motivation listening to his advice, words of wisdom and seeing everything he does for others. I have lost 120lbs on my own at home and am now a mere 10 pounds away from my initial goal weight!! I may have never met Chris in person but his words ring clear in my mind while I am working out, I hope you both have a LONG and prosperous career helping those who need it most, you are both an inspiration and I wish you many years of health and happiness, cross those numbers off!!!
I’ve tried numerous weight loss strategies lost & gained probably 200 lbs in total . I was/ am on the down swing of this weighng the heaviest I ever have at 285.3 wanting to give up. In watching your show each week & reading your book it has given me that drive to try for me. I’m only in week 1 but already feel stronger & that I can achieve my goal because if your influence. Thank you Chris don’t under estimate yourself. You influence & help more ppl than you give yourself credit for… THANK YOU.

Thank You for all that you do, Chris & Heidi. You are Blessed! The love of Jesus shines right through you both. Keep on, my friends!
I started my weight loss after watching your show! and what shall I say – it was the best decision EVER! I turned from a size 44 to a size 34 (europe size) and enjoy every moment of my life now! After giving birth to my 2 amazing babies, I gained a lot of weight, when I step on the scale today, I see 58 (amazing) kilos and am so thankful and happy about that! I started to workout again and eating clean! I feel SO good!
Thank you for your inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Add me to the growing number of people he’s inspired and helped!
i have definitely been inspired by Chris. It started with watching Exteme Weigt Loss, and has expanded to following both Chris and Heidi on Facebook and Twitter.
Chris (and Heidi) remind me that I candy this, I can get my eating habits back under control, I can regain a healthy body, I can be the person I want to be!
In one episode this pastseason Chris talked about short hanging a workout…about stopping on the treadmill at 58 minutes instead of completing the full hour. The day I was watching that episode as I was on the elliptical I was so tempted to stop just a bit early, but instead I finished my workout. So many times since then I have thought about stopping just short and hear Chris’s words in my head and keep going. Thank you Chris!
Chris..you have truly impacted my life and my husband for the better. We are inspired every time we do the boot camp videos and choose to loose. We love you and all that you have done. Without you our lives would have continued down the dangerous path. We never had to meet you face to face to know that you are 100 percent a inspiration to us!! You deserve to cross off the millions man….Just do it!
