Chris and I feel so fortunate to get wonderful emails, questions, and comments from so many of you each and every day. As much as we wish we could sit and pen a response to every single one of them, the fact of the matter is that?time simply does not permit us to do this. If only I had 48 hours in a day…;). Instead, we’ve got something special in store. We’re taking our most FAQs – both personal and show related – and answering them via?video for you all!
Now where on earth do we even begin? Well, in honor of the May 26th premiere of Extreme Weight Loss Season 5, we’re answering some of your most commonly asked show-related questions.?Check out?the video below to learn more about why we do what we do on Extreme Weight Loss. Enjoy!
We didn’t answer your questions? Not to fear, help is here. This is far from the last time we will share “Q&A with the Powells” videos, and would love to answer YOUR questions! Tell us what you want to know in the comments below. 🙂
Xoxo,
Heidi

Hi. I love you both and am so thankful for what you have done in my life as well as so many others. I’ve noticed the same pattern in myself that I see in the contestants. I have 60 pounds to lose. For the first 100 days, I lost a pound a week for a total of 20 pounds. I have really struggled in the second quarter of this year to lose anything at all. I’m still doing my best to stick to the Turbo Cycle plan. Is there something physically or mentally that changes and makes it harder?
Thanks
Hi!. After being obese all my life, I lost 140 lbs in 10 months (last year)..after getting pregnant and losing my baby, I have packed on not all, but a whole lot of the Weight I lost (about 100 lbs of it). I can’t seem to get myself under control again…and it seems like every month that goes by and I’m not pregnant again I go through another mourning process. Perhaps I never fully mourned my loss…I don’t know. Anyway…I know that often your clients after losing so much weight, still struggle and maybe even gain weight back…what advice can you give to those of us who feel like complete facilities at life?. I am so ashamed that I don’t want to go out.no don’t want to see anyone who hasn’t seen me since September.:(
Silly auto correct…failure at life not faCility at life…
Hi Heidi and Chris, love the show and love your Facebook and Instagram posts daily. I’m 35 years old and need to lose around 100 pounds. I’ve lost 60 pounds three times now and the minute I stop working out every day I gain the weight back. It’s been like this all my life, how can I break this vicious cycle before it’s too late for my health? Thanks
Hi I started my weight loss journey last April and lost 60 lbs then life changes due to shift changes work schedules,etc Do you have some help with platues or sliding back to bad habits. I love the show and when I get to watch it’s great motivation and really helps.
Hi Heidi I have watched just about every season and episode of EWL and its so motivating to see there transformations! My question is what are your thoughts on replacing a Meal with a meal replacement shake? And also I have been told more than once from trainers at the gym I attend that more than 30 mins of cardio is not good is that true and if not what are some tips you can give me to push my weightloss quicker?
Hi, I live in UK and have watched all the episodes so far but we are behind here and keep repeating the same episodes but I still have to watch again. It inspires me to work out more but I am a member of a Slimming Class and when I try to work out I don’t lose weight and I am then told that it is because I am toning and muscle weighs more than fat. It makes me feel disappointed and then I stop exercising. It makes me feel so down because I want to move more and lose the 40 I need to lose. Is it true if I work out the weight loss won’t show ?
You guys have got to be two of the best people on the planet. I love how you not only help transform people’s bodies, but their mindset and mental health as well. Love what you guys do!
Hi, Heidi and Chris. I send you greetings from the Czech republic. You are amazing couple and you are doing amazing things. Its great what you are doing with people, how can you inspire them and how can you lead them to transform lifes and live full and rich lifes. Your show Extreme makeovers is really inspiring. Its a pitty that you are so far from Europe. Is there a chance to write an email directly to you (not through social networks or public chat)? It would be really great. Thank you both, have a nice time and good luck to you and your job 🙂 ps.your family is wonderful 🙂
Hey Heidi and Chris! I love the show. I Started my weightloss journey last May and have lost 40lbs so far. I have 80 more to go. However I haven’t lost a pound in over two months and nothing I do seems to help. Any suggestions with this type of plateau? I’ve tried most the common suggestions of taking some time off, eating less, eating more and literal?y nothing works. I need help because I’m getting so frustrated and discouraged.
Thanks
Heather
Love you guys so so much. You both inspire me beyond words and I cant thank you enough for all you do.
My question is this…. I’ve been carb cycling for over a year. Started at 232 and am now 188. But I’ve been losing the same 5 lbs for 2 months now. Is this normal?
XOXO
