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!

Chris,
My husband, our 3 children and I want to tell u that we watch you on Extreme Weight Loss. I my husband and I would love to lose weight and be more healthier. It is hard to excercise with my husband having degenerative disc decease and me having fibromyalgia. Even, though we can’t exercise like we would like we still enjoy watching your show. We love ya.
I am changed. Chris is a light and inspiration to me and I have been able to pass on what I have learned to others. Thank you Chris! Thanks to Heidi, too!
I’m always bummed out when Extreme Weight Loss is off the air for awhile. Chris is more than words can describe. I cry at the end of every show. The show motivates so many people. My dream is to meet him and Heidi. Thank you so much for all you do and have done for so many. You are a true angel.
I just bought your book, I have no words to describe what you represent….keep doing what you’re doing, there’s no doubt in my mind that you were born to impact millions of lives, I want to think you’ve crossed the 1M mark already. Cross it off!
To start off, since I was a child when my father passed away I have struggled with being active, healthy and at a Healthy weight. I can’t say that I have been severely overweight, but as far as I am concerned that doesn’t mean that the inspiration, motivation, and influence that both Chris and Heidi Powell has made on me is any less. I have in the last year after having a baby and reaching 177 about 8 months ago have lost almost 30lbs. Watching EWL and following both if you on Facebook and Instagram I am reminded and motivated everyday that I am capable of reaching my weight, health and fitness goals. To say the least I believe that Chris has inspired many more than he feels he deserves credit for. I hope that with the help of all the other people who have been touched by both him and Heidi, they both realize the positive influence they have on the world and all of the people in it.
I can attest to five lives impacted by Chris and his mission. My two daughts, son-in-law, 3 year old grandson and I have made slow but steady strides toward better health through watching Chris and reading his book. My grandson will grow in health now!
Chris your are an awesome guy I started your diet and started loosing weight and then I got sick and fell off the wagon. I am back on that wagon and working to get to my goal weight and you have made it so easy. It is just so nice to know that I can come on your facebook page and ask questions and get positive feed back. Just keep up the good work you are helping so many because you don’t judge us, you understand us.
Thank you
Chris Powell has most definitely impacted my life in a positive way. I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember and I actually went to an open call here in Chicago last year. However, I can officially say that I do not qualify for the show anymore as I have lost approximately 50lbs and have kept it off. Chris (and you) are such incredible people and you most certainly make this world a better place by inspiring and helping others dream and achieve those dreams. Watching Extreme Makeover every week helps inspire me to keep chugging along, reminds me that I am worth it, and gives me that extra kick I need. Thank you both and keep it going!

I just wanted to say that you have inspired me Chris Powell.
March 29, 2013 I decided to stop being fat, depressed and unhealthy. I lost 65 pounds! I watched your show with Sarah Murphy and decided to run a Marathon! It has taken me months and almost 500 miles of training to do it! My first Marathon is on Sunday in Phoenix.
To go from 189.9 pounds hardly able to walk a mile to 125 pounds and running for 26.2 miles is HUGE!
Thanks for your show and contagious inspiring ways!
I am so much happier!
You’ve changed my life. God bless YOU!
