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 think 1,000,000 is not enough, for you to cross off I mean.
My friend recommended EWL to me as an entertaining programme and I loved it from the start. You seemed genuine, where many others do not. Little did I know that after watching about 6 episodes I started to feel like maybe I didn’t appreciate myself enough, maybe I needed to take some of the lessons from the show and realise that I deserved much more and I was holding myself back and not liking myself much for it.
Since then a lot of things have changed, I made the changes but you were the catalyst. My changes have impacted other people as well. My new attitude has helped other people. So that is more than just me right there.
I think you can trust that you superseded one million by a LOT. Be proud of what you have done and continue to do and go and get those numerals!
Chris, watching you get people to do things they thought they weren’t capable of inspires me to keep fighting when things get tough. I absolutely LOVE your show & can’t wait for the new season. I know when I watch your show I will be reminded of how wonderful people are and what we are all capable of.
Bro, you have impacted and inspired so many in your life. Not just the clients you have had on your show but there are well over a million of people that you have impacted through yours show and those million have shared with a few million more. Not only have you inpsired people to lose weight and become a better person but you have inspired other fitness trainers around the world as well. It doesn’t stop there because you have inspired others that have nothing to do with fitness. You inspire me to help others. I have the same fire you do but I want to help as many people as I can live a better life. I want to show people there is more to life than just working a 9-5 job and living pay check to pay check. My goal one day is to help over a million people live a more fullfilled life. By teaching them financial education and the power of the mind. I have a love for financial education and believe there is such a lack in education which sets people of for failure from day one. I see the exact same thing with the health and fitness world. Something so easy is made so hard because people just dont understand it.
It has been very interesting watching you and Heidi over the last few years becasue we have experience alot of the same things. My wife was pregnant with our first child the same time Hiedi was pregnant with Ruby. He just turned 1 on Dec 27. You guys balancing personal life while working together to grow your business and help even more poeple. So it neat to see your family going through the same experience we were at the same time. My wife is originally from Phoenix and we will be moving down there very soon. I just want to say you are a huge inspiration and we would love to get to know you guys and learn how you have been able to balance your personal lifes while trying to grow a buisness together and continue to stay married with out strangling each other. 😉
By the way I think I can speak on behalf of everyone here and say go head and cross off that 1,000,000 marker. We all know you are going to just replace that completed goal with even a bigger goal.
Dear Chris,
I struggle day to day, i lose 80 lbs gain back 90, and i want lose heart, but watching you always makes me try again, to eat better, to forgive myself, to try and not lose hope, to remember every day of health is worth the battle, I am eating right, and walking one mile a day, and as some one who has a crushed pelvis and broken spine i am proud of that. Thanks for all you do.
I first saw Chris on the documentary 650lb Virgin, and later sought out his show Extreme Weight Loss. I now have his books and follow both of you guys on facebook and via blog.
I’m not terribly overweight, but very unhealthy 🙁 Both you and Heidi have inspired me to live a better, healthier life.
I love the fact that you are always supportive and compassionate with your clients, I know that you will keep changing lives.
Chris is an amazing motivator. I love watching how he impacts the lives of people. My only wish is that I could have him as a personal motivator for me. I don’t have anyone in my life that truly understands what I struggle with every day. I just pray that one will come so I can have the help and guidance to lose my 140 lbs. Keep on blessing others. It is contagious.
Hi Catherine! All of us at Team Powell (Chris and Heidi included) can be your motivators! You can follow the same program Chris and Heidi use on TV — they’ve put this program in their book, “Choose More, Lose More for Life,” so all of us can use it to reach our transformation goals. The book will teach you everything you need to know and do, and it works! Learn more here: https://heidipowell.net/9060/how-to-begin-your-transformation-journey-step-by-step/. You can do this!
I know there are soooo many people that commented, but something said tell Chris and Heidi that you have effected someone way up in Alaska. I am thankful that I was searching for some to watch while working out on the treadmill. I found Extreme Weight Loss. I made a deal with myself to get my cardio in daily….I can’t just sit on the couch and watch, but I have to be on the treadmill to watch your show, even the repeats. You have taught me so much about being a “furnace” and to carb-cycle. I have read your books and I’m currently in my 2nd week of my Vemma-bode-weight-loss. I’m already seeing results. I’m so thankful that I didn’t go for the magic pill in a bottle. I feel so light and healthy. I’m eternally grateful. Please continue to change lives so more people can enjoy the amazing feeling that so many of us do! God bless you both!
well Chris has definatly touched/changed my life. It’s always been hard for me to loose weight . I watched two seasons of your show and decided it’s time for a life change.. I got your book and also started your Bode app and within 8 weeks I lost 40 lbs while still working a grueling 50 hour work week. Then to the gym for a good workout. Had to take a year off due to a unforeseen accident and was in and out of doctor offices and physical therapy/rehab. I just started the app and 12 week challenge over and hoping to continue to loose Moore. Thanks for your and Heidi’s motivation. I have now unlocked the weightloss key and am right back on track now.
Chris inspired me to look at others as individuals who have struggles, hopes, dreams, feelings, and a past. His message of love is really what I admire the most. He lives his own message and doesn’t just preach it. Chris helps people see past their pain or insecurities and helps build them up so that they can move on to better things. Chris showed me that many people are just like the rest of us and it makes me more considerate of others. I think his message of love is an awesome thing to see and hear. Many of the lives he helped are heartfelt and we can feel it even if it’s on tv. My tears weren’t for just tv drama!
Chris – you have changed my life forever. Thanks for all you do.
