Sis,
*Every Pearl is unique, no two are alike.
*There is no way for an oyster that hasn’t been wounded to produce pearls, because a pearl is a wound that has healed.
*Pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries and because of this, the word “pearl” has become a metaphor for something very rare, fine, admirable and valuable.
Remember that you are like a pearl…imperfect but beautiful. rare and unique, admirable and highly valued. When life gets hard and you feel “wounded”…turn your situation into a pearl.
I am so proud of you!
Put your pearls on and push through!
Xoxo,
Pearls
It isn’t a coincidence that Tiffany naturally adopted the nickname “Pearls.” She truly is imperfect, but beautiful, rare and unique, admirable, and highly valued. Pearls has chosen to use her wounds and scars as ways to become stronger. This note (above) was one Pearls gave to me at the 90 day mark along with some pearls. Needless to say, Pearls always has a way of making me cry.
Sweet, funny, relatable, kind, generous, authentic, spicy, hard-working, absolutely stunning, and one-of-a-kind are just a handful of the many words that describe my sweet friend. As amazing as her episode was, I have to say she is even better in real life! The kind of mother she is to her incredible son, Mason, is unlike anything I?ve ever seen before. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know and work with Pearls over the last year. We connected and related on so many levels beyond just trainer/client: We are both mothers that have experienced divorce, both in recovery from severe eating disorders, and both have passion and love for life itself. There was NEVER a dull moment with this lady, and it is safe to say that she will, indeed, be a friend of mine for years and beyond!
I haven?t yet watched this video to see what Pearls says about her year with us, and about Chris and me in general….Should I be nervous?? Eek?let?s take a look!
Pearls, I love you dearly! Here?s to many more happy, healthy years ahead of us!
Xoxo,
Heidi

Hi Heidi, I watch the show every week, i have been suffering off and on for years with anorexia. I am 51 and was a junior in high school when it took on a life of its own. I have never been comfortable in my own body and not sure i ever will be. I have tried getting help, there is not alot out there for people who can not afford and cant take time off work. Mine is too long of a story and i dont really want to put it out there because i dont like how it sounds, makes me sound like im feeling sorry for myself or making excuses, im not it just feels like im hitging a brick wall every where i turn. I just wanted to say how much i enjoy the show and am amazed at the trasformation people make. You and Chris are wonderful people.
I love this show, & am inspired by all the Powells do to help people turn their lives around and inspired by the clients! I loved Heidi’s dress at Mitzi’s reveal. Can you please share the link?
Hi Carrie: That dress no longer available, but we found a similar one, and you can find links to it in this post: https://heidipowell.net/9810. 🙂
Can anyone tell me where Heidi’s grey and white striped shirt is from that she wore in this episode with Pearls, when they were waiting for her to go back for her skin removal surgery? It’s ADORABLE!
First off amazing transformation, by far one of my favorites, and secondly, Pearls seriously looks way better in that dress than the model on the website. Strong is beautiful! Congratulations !
I have been doing the turbo cycle for 5 weeks now and the pounds are just coming off really slowly. I know that the low carb days are the days where the magic happens, so what would happen if I just did a full week with no high carb days? Would I see bigger results?
It’s not a good idea to do a whole week of low carb days. The program is outlined for weight loss success, and so it’s best to follow your carb cycle as it’s outlined. Please remember that it can take your body a bit of time to adjust to a new way of doing things too, so please be patient. Make sure you’re following the Turbo Cycle exactly as it’s outlined: weekly reward day, daily calorie and portion size recommendations, water consumption, exercise duration and intensity, slingshot week every 4th week, and you’ll reach your goals!
I cant get the link to open for Pearls beautiful finale dress. Can you send me the website name?
Here’s the link again – I just checked it, and it’s working: http://bit.ly/1LDvrbo. 🙂

Hi Belinda: Thank you for posting! Chris and Heidi aren’t taking on clients right now, so they’ve put all the tools they use on EWL–their carb cycling program– in their book, “Choose More, Lose More for Life.” You can learn all about their carb cycling program here: https://heidipowell.net/9060. Their book outlines everything you need to know and do to achieve your own transformation! You can do this – start today!
