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, you definitely deserve to cross off that 1,000,000! You’ve inspired me so much. I’m forever grateful that I had the opportunity to spend a week in Denver with you and Heidi. I would never have expected that people like you and Heidi would be so kind-hearted and genuine. You both genuinely care about other people and put so much of your lives into helping others. Without you both believing in me, I NEVER would of had the courage to continue my transformation at home without the show. Heidi, I think you need your own tattoo because you have helped change so many lives as well! I just love you both and will always be so thankful I met you both. I’ve been changed for the better just by knowing you both!
Chris,
I wanted to thank you for demonstrating patience. I have worked with clients over the years and had gotten burned out by excuses. It had showed in my interactions with my clients. I watch you with your enthusiasm and patience and realized that I needed to “restart” my mind. I have regained my compassion and love of working and helping others. I have been a fan for many years and truly value your mentorship.
When I started to watch the show on tv, I fallen in love with you, because you both are authentic, original, very true, brave, and I see people saying ?Chris is a such guy! Heidi is a great friend? And I wish to be your friend because too!
I?m from Brazil and I?m trying to get everything that you both pass to us. In this moment, I?m trying to translate and understand the Carb Cycling to help me and to help other persons that do not can translate the site or the book, because many things that show on tv in Brazil is repeated and not is clear.
Thank you Heidi! Thank you Chris! You are awesome!!!
I would like to be some number for you!
Kisses from S?o Paulo/Brazil!

I think you overwhelmingly underestimate your effect on others. You may not have had the opportunity to personally meet with, workout with, and help 1,000,000 people, but you have effected far more. If you think about the number of seasons the show is going on~why so many? Because people love it. People love you. You are inspiring. You have crossed off 100,000. The average number of children per family is 2. That right there is 200,000, plus the number continues to multiple, 400,000, 800,000, 1,600,000, and so on because each child will have children, grandchildren, and so on. By teaching their parents healthy habits, you’ve taught them and their children. It’s a ripple effect. The last lady on the video said she was number seven hundred and fifty thousand (and something). If you multiply that by 2, that right there is 1,500,000. You have reached more than you realize!
My son is now seven. He is an amazing athlete, ridiculously fit, he even has an 8 pack on his stomach..no exaggeration, we counted! He has the ability to grow to be a very athletic, popular kid. He also has a huge heart for loving and caring about others (we pray that continues!!). He has been in love with your show for a few years now. It fascinates him to see these people completely change their lives. Not only do they change their looks, but they are changed. He is amazed every time and thought it was the coolest thing that this is your job. His mind may change, but he wants your job. If he grows up to do the same thing, because of the inspiration he saw you giving others, and he helps 100,000 and their families, your numbers just doubled! “He gets to help all these people realize their worth?” was his comment. Yes, he does. YES you do!
Chris, you and Heidi are an inspiration… Everyone’s journey is personal, but you continue to change lives beyond your imagination. I was diagnosed with PCOS and diabetes… I began my journey July 7, 2014 and so far I have lost 73 pounds. (From Puerto Rico)
There is no doubt that you have helped me Chris….I have gone from my heaviest of 303 to 235.6 as of this morning over the last few years. It has been a slow journey but with the help of your shows, book, DVD and Facebook you are a constant inspiration to me. Last Spring I was diagnosed with OA in my ankle and mid foot but I am still going. One of my customers where I work last summer told me that because of me riding my bike and the weight loss it has inspired him to get bikes for himself, wife and daughter and they ride as a family now. I never thought in my life that I would inspire someone into fitness but is an amazing feeling and keeps me going in those grey days. THANK YOU from my heart and soul for all you do – I may live in Canada but you are family to me!
Chris and Heidi,
You’re both an inspiration. Keep up the good work, but don’t lose yourselves. It is you being you that inspires.
Heidi, You and Chris have changed my life. I do not miss your show and I follow both of you on just about every social media site known to man. I have been inspired by Chris’ heart. As an overweight young twenty-something, I have learned not only the tools to make me successful in my weight loss journey, but Chris has taught me what it looks like to believe in yourself. I think that was the greatest lesson of all… I didn’t love myself or believe in myself, so how could I ever be successful? I didn’t understand the value of believing in myself until I started watching Chris’ show. He has sincerely changed my life and will continue to go in doing so. So Chris, know that you are changing lives here in Texas and we support you 100%. Thanks to you and Heidi for sacrificing so much for others. It doesn’t go unnoticed–
“there is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
Because of Chris (and now you Heidi) My husband and I have decided to start eating healthier and start exercising again. This has been an ongoing challenge for us, because my husbands job has us moving a lot. But since the weight loss addition of extreme makeover we have been taking it more seriously. We know it is doable no matter what our living situation is.
Thank-you both for being such kind and inspiring people. All the best to you and your family.
GREAT GUY!
Fabulous family!!!love Powell Pack!
