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!

Hi Chris,
I have have watched your show and have been touched by your genuine concern for each and every person. Not just the contestant you have chosen, but their family and friends. I have been motivated by your passion and knowledge about weight loss and healthy living, as well as your exuberance for life! As an introvert, there is very little chance I would ever volunteer to be on a show or even part of a group. For people like me, having you out there on the web and on tv is fantastic.
Thank you for being out there, doing what you do!
I am a life that’s been changed! And my hubby and 2 daughters too!
God Bless you all,
Claudia
you have absolutely impacted my life. I strive to eat well and workout everyday. And am pretty successful at it. You have also inspired me to help other people meet their fitness goals. I have got several people on track that I work with. Thank you for being one of the the most inspirational people I’ve known.
Heidi. I love that you have so much love and respect for Chris you both are what evey couple looks for in a partner in life. god bless you both what a great and inspirational life and example of how wonderful our lives can be. Thank you both .
There are only two people on this planet I wish I could meet and one of those people is Chris Powell! I stumbled upon your show three years ago or so and every time I thought to myself, wow, this is an amazing person, this is a good guy, a genuine guy, someone doing it because he loves what he does and not for the money. The amount of people Chris is inspiring, changing and helping in this game we call life will never be able to acturately be numbered because his effects will not only be felt now but in generations to come. Chris you are a wonderful man with a beautiful family! Keep going! Keep doing what you do, and always stay grounded to your beliefs no matter what, you truly are an inspiration and an example of everything good!
I want to personally thank you for the inspiration you give to me and my husband. After watching Extreme Weight Loss and reading your book, we are on a better and healthier track in life. There are so many weight loss books and shows out there that preach tough love, but I can tell you and Heidi both do what you do because you love it and you want to help people. Thank you so much! (and my doctor also gave me an A+ at my last physical- I had lost ten pounds over 6 months and my cholesterol was a-ok too, all because of a few little changes that were inspired by you!)
I’ve been overweight my whole life. I weighed 521.5 lbs in 2004, lost 303.4 lbs in just under 3 1/2 yrs, then gained 255.6 lbs back. I love watching the show; Chris(and Heidi) are so encouraging, inspiring, supportive. I haven’t met y’all personally, but just seeing you work with others makes me try harder, makes me believe in myself. I’ve lost 56.6 lbs again. I have so far to go, but I know I’ll get there. THANK YOU for what you do for others.
Since I descovered ewl… I have taken notes here and there… Chris and you Heidi as well have made an impact here on our home of 7 people … We are not were we need to be yet but you guys have given a start on where I need to be and where to go…. You have touched many many people in many many ways!!!!!
I cannot write more bcuz I can hardly see thru my tears but you both are my ROCKSTARS!!!
I cannot thank you enuf for all the inspiration you’ve given to me! Please continue your Extreme Weight Loss program on tv! I’m totally blessed beyond measure bcuz of you two!!! XOXO…
I have enjoyed watching your husband, Chris, inspire so many on EWL. I even recall the one episode where no matter what, he would not give up on his client until it reached the point where she just didn’t want to continue. To me, that just solidified how “real” you both are actually. My absolute favorite and probably what inspired me the most was your interview with Georgeanna. When I believe it was Cash who wanted Chris’s password to play on his phone and you when you had juice in the lunch boxes that you normally don’t put in there. It was priceless but so inspiring that we really are perfectly imperfect. Those two words have helped me so much; you have no idea. Thank you for all that you do to help others and for setting an excellent example of family life.
