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 & Heidi,
Please count me in towards the 1,000,000 lives changed! Chris has inspired me in ways that go beyond fitness and working out. There aren’t many people to look up to in the world these days and the kindness and compassion he shows to other human beings is inspiring to me. He motivates me to be a better person, to help make a difference in other people’s lives, to help inspire others to be the best they can be. Chris is a true humanitarian and I admire him for his dedication to changing lives. If we could all possess even a little of the compassion he has this world would be a much more loving and kind place to live…
Both of you have impacted my life and my husbands for sure. We both work out every morning and he even does the 9 minute missions from Chris’s book. Whenever I am pushing hard and don’t think I can go any harder, I can hear both of you cheering me on and I keep going. Thank you Chris and Heidi for inspiring us to be better and keep doing our best!
I can honestly say that my journey toward weight loss and health has had multie starts and stops and I had become discouraged and given up. But watching this video has made me believe once again that it might be possible for me, too. I want to be one of Chris’ one million and I hope that someday soon I can check back here and finally report that I have joined your crew.
I have hesitated on taking the first step but right now I am reaching out in faith. I hope the entire staircase will be there as I climb! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow, I think Chris could cross of more then 1,000,000. I love his show I love his compassion for people. He truly wants to save these individuals. He is amazing I follow both Chris and Heidi and love their dietbet challenges look how large they are compared to the other challenges out there! Keep up all the hard work! But also remember to take time for yourself and your family
Chris and Heidi,
Watching this brought tears to mine and my husbands eyes ! We haven’t had the pleasure to meet yall but we feel like we’re friends already with yall that’s how much your personalities come thru on EWL and social media! My husband was 385 at his heaviest and is now 200lbs and has been for 10 years. Chris has May not helped my husband with his weightloss but he helps him everyday to stay motivated and keep his weight off and promote healthy living and weight loss ! We are a fit couple and love working out together and it excites us to know when we add to our family we can still be the fit couple you and Chris are! So Chris you are helping more people then you truly know! I can’t be happier to add to this one million cross off !! Here is 2 living proof that you have helped my husband and myself !
With love,
Heather and Landon Yosko
Weight loss doesn?t only provide an individual with a healthy life; it also provides an environment for others to enjoy being a part of. The happiness in the eyes of the guests you guys help and also the fans at the final weigh in demonstrates just how the happiness of one becomes contiguous to those around. Also, the 3 million viewers that are watching have such a heartfelt happy feeling inside watching. It?s like happiness is handed to us for free just by one act of kindness Chris and yourself provide. So each show, millions are touched. Also, marriage is way more important than anything else in life and no matter how imperfect ones marriage is, striving to work towards perfection is the important factor. You guys demonstrate that factor to all those like my wife and I who watch it together. We are very thankful to have a couple to admire that knows how to change life?s and also demonstrates how to be a good husband, wife, father, and mother at the same time. Thank you guys for all you do on TV and social media because you guys are spreading that joy way faster than you think!!

I have only just started following Chris on social media but my husband and I love watching him on Extreme Weight Loss. I have never seen anyone so positive as Chris. I also just watched him on Kelly and Michael, all I can say is WOW!! When I saw two (Chris and Michael) very in shape people struggle through the workout, it made me realize you too are only human, if you could keep going than so could I!!
He absolutely deserves to cross off 1M! He is an inspiration to watch and follow, as are you, Heidi.
I do not have a significant amount of weight to lose, nor did I ever, but everyday I learn how to be more and more healthy and following you both has been a huge help! Being healthy has become the center of my life and now especially while raising my own child. I think of food as fuel and medicine now, not just something to satisfy my hunger pains. Thanks for all you both do xx now cross it off!!!!!
You both have made a difference to me and I hope to continue with that. Thank you
Loving people where they are at and encouraging them to be more is a special gift that God has certainly blessed you with. Your example of being a great and loving father, mentor, coach, and husband for millions to see is something that America desperately needs. You are giving much hope to those who have never felt that before. Blessings as you continue touching so many!
You have both impacted my husband and me (that’s 2!) by showing us that not only is a healthy lifestyle possible, it can be fun! We appreciate you!
