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 want you to know you inspired me through your show and then book to get control of my health again. I was in an accident in an ambulance while caring for a patient. This resulted in the patient and my partner being fine but I had an endless migraine for 5 1/2 years. Then a doctor on an off chance thought maybe I am having small seizures in my head resulting in migraines. Before this I was on so many meds that I was barely able to work and had gained 50 lbs. Now because of you giving me direction on what to do I have lost the weight and gained muscle. I feel better than before and now LOVE the gym and working out. So much so that I recently had a bone removed from my foot and within 2 days was at the gym on crutches doing what I could. Thank you and your wife sooo much! You are both amazing!!
add 2 more over here! My husband and I read your book Choose More Lose More this Nov after my husband was diagnosed with high blood pressure. We are following the book, and to date he has lost almost 30 lbs and I have lost 20, and that was through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years (and…I am over 40)! Best of all we have put “being active with our kids” as a priority and believe me, it is not easy in negative temps, but our kids are so happy we are finally participating with them. If not for this particular book or Chris’s advice on EWL, I would not have tried ice skating obese,…but I thought…it is way more fun than a treadmill! Yes it hurts my feet, but eventually it won’t and boy do I get a work out, and best of all, my kids love it!!! We both have a way to go weight-wise, but who cares? It is coming off while we are already living! Next month, we are going skiing – eeeek!!! Thank you!
i want you to know even though I’ve never met you but you have commented on things I’ve sent you. Chris what you don’t realize is that people who bought the book and began there journey and watched the show and heard your words of encouragement have started there journey. I have started my journey but still fall. But I want you to know you have touched millions of people’s lives just by tv and social media alone. Keep doing Gods work. Keep showing love that so many need in this world keep helping others be extrodinary. You have touched my heart and I don’t know you personally.
Gosh, I cant stop crying. The presentation of the video is so touching. This is Chris’ life calling.
I have been on my journey thanks to Chris for well over a year now! I have made exercise a regular part of my everyday life and had never accomplished that before! Carb cycling is something that is working for me and I know I can do long term. I’m still on my journey, but I feel like I can actually accomplish my goal this time! Chris really has taught me to change the way I think and to believe that I can do it! I believe he will hit his goal & go beyond! Thank you Chris! 🙂
Count me in…..last year, after following your show, I decided to let you transform my life (thru Bode and social media, of course!!! :-)) I’ve lost 40+ lbs but what means more is what my life has gained, self-respect, self-love, motivation, a desire to live life fully again. Sure, I love my celebs, this isn’t about that, this is about YOU, not some tv personality, caring enough to want us to love ourselves again. Thank you, you are truly a messenger of God, in the joy for life you have brought back to so many people.
Chris and Heidi – I follow you both on facebook and I have been a regular watcher of EWL for years. I love you both so much, and you have inspired way more than a million people. I hope I can meet you both someday. That would be a dream come true. Much love from southeast, MI.
Marriage is not always easy but working at it is it’s own reward….:) Sometimes you just need to remember the important parts of why you fall in love with who you do:) Thanks for the motivation from both of you:)
You both are so inspiring. Chris because of you I have started getting back into my routine and workouts. You and Heidi have always been so amazing to watch and follow. I have always been so into fitness and nutrition and then I lost my passion and drive when my mom got sick with cancer and I started caring for her. In addition to a 2yr old and 14yr old and an amazing hubby. I became certified to teach insanity (my love), but never taught. My mother passed in November and I put on ten pounds in addition to the baby weight I never lost years before. I was at my lowest and a type 1 diabetic with horrible blood sugar control. I started reading your book and although only 3 weeks into turbo cycle, I am down pounds, but more importantly I’m back to getting up earlier than my kids to get my missions in, I’m back to the gym and although I miss my mom terribly, I feel like I’m living again. I know had I not started your book I would still be dragging myself out of bed, not working out and feeling sorry for myself. It was the kick in the butt I needed! I am finding my way back to a better me, so thank you. Oh and I’m an Arizona native! : )
I am in awe of and very grateful for Chris Powell. I originally learned who he was through Extreme Weight Loss which led me to find both of you online. His attitude is infectious. His constant encouragement and leadership by example are so inspiring. I don’t need to lose 100 pounds; I don’t even need to lose 20. But, I am still grateful for his insight, his example, and his reminder that anything is possible for you to obtain better health and be the best possible version of yourself. Chris Powell rocks…..and you are very blessed to be his co-pilot for the Pack!
