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 beautiful Heidy. 🙂 my question is, do you have any exercises that you recommend for me to do? I am 7 months pregnant and my baby is measuring a little big. I’m not gaining weight anywhere but my stomach. Help. Any advice? Nutrition? Exercises? Thank you. 🙂
Hey Chris and Heidi Powell. I love your show. You and Chris are amazing people. I watch your show all the time and I can’t wait for the new season. Can I meet you and Chris some day? Ever plan on coming to Marquette Michigan some day?
Hi to the both of you
well i have a problem and a question, i can’t seem to start any weight loss program because i can’t seem to eat in the morning and some times i can go the whole day without eating some times two days and i know that’s not good but this have been going on for some years now and i just want some help and start eating in the morning instead of my first meal being at 12 midnight
I wish wish wish you would do a follow-up segment! I follow contestants on Instagram sometimes and love to see how they’re doing. Bruce Pitcher, Merhbod, Jaquie even had a baby! I think a where are they now would be wonderful!
What would you suggest looking for in a dr to do skin removal? I like many of your clients have lost 175lbs. I’ve kept it off for 16 months now and I’m getting pretty confident that I will never go back to my old ways. I love my improved life. But this extra skin is everywhere! What qualities should I look for in a surgeon?
Any helpful hints on keeping excess skin to a minimum? Ive been losing at a slow pace but its very noticable on my legs down 75lbs so far from 350. And thanks for all the carb cycling tips you guys give, carb cyxling has helped where other plans have not and its definitely a lifelong plan I can live with! BTW you guys rock!
I have a question if you don’t mind…How can you change your mindset and motivate yourself to lose weight? I have 80-100 pounds to lose but I can’t seem to get motivated and it’s frustrating. I want so badly to change but everything in my head keeps stopping me. “You’ll never lose this weight. You’ve been fat your whole life and it’s never going to change.” I have all the knowledge and exercise equipment but something always stops me from just getting up and doing it! how to you break through the mental barriers of self doubt and low self esteem?
I have a question that I’m curious about! First of all, you both are such beautiful people and lovely role models. But my question regarding the show: contestants don’t know that they’ve been chosen till you or Chris tell them…. yet they are being filmed before hand… do they have any clue?! Or do the producers just tell them that they’ll be filmed and it’ll be used if they’re picked?
I am a 56 year old man, who at the age of 43 had Sudden Cardiac Death(2002). The LAD was 100% blocked. I survive due to the quick thinking of a friend giving me an aspirin just prior to the attack. I weighed 225, was a heavy smoker, needless to say former smoker now. I was hospitalized for 45 days, had 15 units of blood, several infections, renal failure and was on dialysis for 6 weeks. Kidney function returned. Leaving the hospital i weighted 190 lbs and loss a lot of muscle. There was a time (age 36) i worked out three times a week, and was in great shape. Fast forward to now, 3 stents, twice in cardiac rehab, 15 plus medicines a day, and more than 125lbs in weigh gain. I bought a bike and some weights and even have access to a free gym. My concern is that with the extra weigh is hard to breath and worry about the stress on the heart, i feel like i am in a catch 22 situation. I currently use MyFitness Pal to record food and FitBit to record steps, i average about 7000 steps per day.
Any suggestions with my health concerns that can help to start shedding the weight. Nervous it might be to late to do anything.
I’ve seen episodes where the person writes Chris and you for help. Why don’t yall do that anymore?
Do you guys make people look fatter on camera then they really are in order for them to make a good transformation?
Can’t wait to watch the new season
