I have watched Extreme Weightloss since it was Extreme Makeover; Weightloss Edition and I love it! Both Chris and Heidi are amazing and I would love to have the tools to transform myself. I am a newly divorced single mother of three and since my marriage failed in early 2012 I gained a lot of weight. I am now at 365 lbs seeing that I need to learn to take care of myself physically not only to be here with my children for a long time but to be able to be a better mom to them by becoming active along with them. I would love this book to help me with this!
You can totally do it! Push and believe in yourself! Learn to truly love yourself inside and out and you will find it a lot easier to truly transform yourself. You can do!
I follow on instagram, all three accounts. I would love this book! I’m super addicted to working out and having a healthy lifestyle, but I’d love to read more to get new ideas and to stay inspired! Healthy moms equals a happy life! 🙂
I’ve always had a problem with my weight and since having my son last year, it’s just out of control. I could usually get most of the unwanted weight off, but now it’s near impossible. I want to lost the weight once and for all and am tired of fad dieting. I want a new lifestyle change and that’s why I want to Choose More, Lose More for Life! My son and husband both deserve a healthy and happy me! I’ve seen how Chris and Heidi help others, so I’m confident that following their instruction will help me finally be successful!

I’ve been stuck at the same weight for a very long time. I am not extremely overweight but am heavier than I need to be. Even with my Doctor(who suggested I take amphetamines; no thanks) and counting calories and exercise I stayed at the same weight. I suffer from migraines quite often. I am allergic to fish and eggs so my diet is pretty boring. I feel like I eat pretty well for the most part. I love watching your show. It really keeps me motivated. I’ve been trying to keep your tips in mind. I even tell my husband when I eat something I shouldn’t “Chis Powell would be so disappointed in me right now!” Brenda
I would love to win this. I am three weeks into the Whole Life Challenge and am really liking it. I need more inspiration though on how to incorporate working out into my busy life better food options. Jenny
I want this so badly. I follow everything you guys do now that I found Extreme Weight Loss on ABC, I think I’ve watched almost every YouTube on it, while doing school work and working mind you. I want to learn how to do this carb cycling everyone is talking about, print out a grocery thing of only the things I should eat and then find some recipes to make it all taste good and not like cardboard.
My husband and I both need to lose weight. I tried weight watchers but after looking at what they thought was healthy and going by numbers?1 I wanted to just know what was good, what was bad, how to eat, when etc. Looking at how much sugar is in their items and sodium. I said No more to all junk food. Well, we’re trying. I’m telling my husband in October, we are donating all our food that comes in a box and going to then go to a store and have noting but what is in your book. My library has been out of it for almost 2 months and I am waiting for my darn bookstore to get 1 in stock!! Winning this would be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Hoping for the best for you and your family!!

I “choose more, lose more for life” because being fit and choosing healthy habits is what I want to be a part of my life in my 30’s 40’s and for as long as I live. I enjoy working out and the feeling I get after a workout is explainable and No One can take this away from me, I love it’ and love my self.
You and your wife are an amazing example.
I have struggled with my weight and self-esteem for over 30 years and I want to overcome it. Chris (and Heidi) have such a positive and inspiring effect on everyone. His nutrition and exercise knowledge is over-the-top and his new book, “Choose More, Lose More for Life,” would be so helpful for me and my struggles. Thank you! xx
Chris has a way of making the most daunting mountain — weight loss and healthy living — into a molehill! Love watching his show and ready their blogs!!
Love the Powell’s!! They are so real and true to life!!! I love their inspiration and Love watching them on TV!! I keep gaining and losing the same weight over and over, and I really need this structure!! The book would be an awesome source and reference for me!!
I love the Powell’s ! They livfe the program of eating better for life and teach it as well. Its not a diet it is a way to live better for life. I would love the book as I would love to take in more of the knowledge and use it for reference a way to guide me in cooking as I struggle there to meal and snack ideas to go beyond what I think … I am one to repeat over and over again. They are real people as you and me… and have a family… They are like many family’s as well as my own… I would love to guide my 10 year old in the way of eating to life.
Chris & Heidi are a blessing to us all, I think that most of us can say we have tried all the fads out there in weightloss products but none worked for me because it’s not just physical it’s a mental and emotional state to do it. I have had many struggles being overweight (297.8 lbs at 5’3 height) and it has taken a toll on me and my life. I want “Choose More, Lose More for Life” because I want to be an active mom with my 3 girls I want to live and enjoy it. I recently got married to a wonderful man I met back in 2009 who accepted me as I am and has been a great and inspiration father figure to my girls. Who I would love to give a child to. I want to be healthy for me and my family! Chris and Heidi I believe there is a reason for why you do what you do for all of us you are a angels blessed from above its people like you I wish that were more of. Thank you for all what you both do and the Powell family!
Happy Fall Greetings!!
I am a follower o FB and Youtube!

I love the Powell’s ! They live the program of eating better for life. Its not a diet it is a way to live better for life. I would love the book as I would love to take in more information and more receipts and more ideas to further my weight loss I have already heard and read threw Facebook and beyond, but the book teaches how to lose the safe way and live life and this is something I would love to have to use it more then just a book but also a reference in the everyday of my life and my family’s. They are real people… and have a family… They are like many as well as my family…
I am 25 years old and have been on my weight loss journey for about 6 months now and have lost about 25 pounds. I still have over 60 pounds to lose and was losing motivation until I came across Extreme Weight Loss. I have Hulu and watched every episode of Season 3 in a couple weeks! I was so encouraged to see the amount of compassion Chris and Heidi have for people. I started following them both on Facebook and began to study what carb cycling was all about and knew this wasn’t a fad diet. This approach was a way to lose weight the healthy way AND keep it off. I am excited to continue my journey and learn more about carb cycling. I would love to win a copy! I CHOOSE MORE and want to LOSE MORE FOR LIFE… because I love myself and I deserve it. That is something I have learned from the show.

Loss=Gain. I lost my dear sweet 8 year old handicapped son a year ago Easter morning. 2 years prior I embarked on a journey to focus on myself instead of my son’s deteriating health. I lost 52# and maintained my loss until my body didn’t know how to process grief. I gained 45 grief pounds. Today I am struggling to focus once again on myself without my son physically here on earth with me, and have lost 17 pounds so far. I miss him terrribly and want to be comforted so badly and the only comfort I know is to turn to food, BUT I know that is not true comfort. True comfort is learning and healing to love and accept myself despite where I am on this journey.
I am choosing to lose more for life! I have been working to change my diet and exercise. I have lost over 40 pounds on my journey so far. By choosing to lose, spending time with my family and friends and riding and showing my horses is much more enjoyable for me because I feel so much better! I love watching Chris’ show, and I would love to read his book. I have been following Chris and Heidi for awhile now, and I absolutely love them!
My husband and I (just married 2 weeks ago!) Have always been interested in ways to STAY on track health and fitness wise and we just recently become Powell Pack gurus 🙂 His birthday is coming up in November and I believe this would be the PERFECT gift for him so we can both ‘Choose More, Lose More for Life’ Its tough in today’s world to not make decisions that will drastically affect your health so it is all about guidelines and self-discipline! Thanks you guys for the post and I am now following your blog as well!

I look forward to reading “Choose to Loose More for Life”..I am very interested in learning about carb cycling. I am finally losing the baby weight I gained in 2012 during my 3rd pregnancy. It seems much more difficult now as I am 14 years older after having my first and 7 years older after having my second. Love to watch Extreme Makeover and have been blown away by the outcomes. Chris and Heidi are inspirational!!

Hi!
I saw Chris in Extreme Makeover: Weight loss, I was so impressed about his energy…he gave me motivation to start…then I discovered Heidi and I started to follow her advices on her blog… Well, now I have “built” a little sport corner in my house, full of little posters
taken from their fb profile 🙂 they motivates me a lot!
I’d like to have the book to improve day by day!
(Sorry about my English, I’m italian 🙂 )
Just finished “Choose to Loose”..Have been Carb Cycling for 2 weeks..”Choose to Loose More for Life” would be a great addition to my new life style!!
I love the way the Powells are all out for helping others and making us comfortable by being regular people. I need help staying in line with my food intake.
Loved the first book, and I really want to see what new information is in the second book! I have lost 52 lbs in the last 14 weeks following the classic carb cycle, so I would really like to see if there are any changes in the new Choose More Loose More for Life book.

Thanks Chris wether I win your book or not! Live Love Laugh Peace Doris
Being healthy and fit comes with more than losing weight. It is a state of well-being all around (physically and mentally). Throughout most of my life, I struggled with being overweight. I have also taken it to the extremes when I found ‘Ana’ (anorexia) a few years ago. Along with dealing with that horrific disease that almost took me, I was also in an emotionally abusive relationship. I felt like I was nothing, cut off all of my friends and family (even my own children), and gave up everything I enjoyed just to live that life. I was a personal trainer at the time (and still am today), and felt that living under a microscope (constantly being watched by the public eye) I had to look that part. It was only at my lowest weight, 88 lbs, that I snapped out of my little dream world and woke up to reality. I realized what I had missed out on for so long. Leaving behind my relationship that drug me down, along with ‘Ana’, I fought for not only my life, but my way to regain the life I had with my family. Today, I still battle ‘Ana’ and her thoughts of going back. It will always be there since it is a mental disorder, but now I can truly see why it’s worth more to live and love myself for who I am. I choose more, not only to lose more, but because I deserve to live a healthy and fit lifestyle. I want to be that example to my kids to carry on to theirs.
I first heard about Chris Powell when he chose to help David Smith to regain his life back. Later I found Extreme Weight Loss, to see the passion and care that both Chris and Heidi show to those who need them is amazing. I see a lot of the people that were on that show not only sticking to it but they are also still very close with Chris and Heidi. That is truly inspiring and amazing. My husband and I have been fighting a losing battle with our weight for many years along with many people here. We want to change our lives around completely and this would really help with that. I hope that I can win this not only for us but also I can pay it forward to others that are struggling as well. Thank you Chris and Heidi for all you do. You are an inspiration to so many out there.
I am a role model for my kids and kids do what they see their parent(s) do therefore having a copy of your book “Choose More Lose More” would not only help me stay on track but would inspire my kids to stay healthy as well. I AM getting younger each and every day and want to continue down that road. I have days when I need that extra motivation, inspiration and push to keep going and you do a wonderful job at helping those awesome people when they feel they just can’t. I also plan to share this book with my sister while she is on her weight loss, being healthy journey!! 🙂 Thanks Chris and Heidi
I have been trying to live a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family for years, but for me i don’t know how to really do that..In the past if i have wanted to lose weight i would just stop eating, (and then when i would start eating again it was pretty much junk food or just not a balanced diet) it was the fastest way not only to lose the weight but see the difference. I have 3 kids and i don’t want them to deal with any weight issues especially for my daughter! Obesity runs in my family, except for me i go to the other extreme 🙁 and I am HOPING!!!! that if i could win a copy of the book it will give me the knowledge of how to be successful in making those healthy choices for not only myself but for my family!! Thank you 🙂
following you, Chris and Heidi on twitter
I would love to win a copy of the book. I am a total fan of Extreme Weight Loss. I, myself, have lost 170 lbs. in 2 years. I still have about 100 more to go, so I feel this book would really help me. Keep up the good work!!
I love Extreme Weight Loss, but I never even heard of Chris’ books till this week and I am intrigued! Never heard of “carb cycling” but it sounds very interesting and very doable. Would love to win his book!!

I am choosing “choose more loose more for life” Because Im sick and tired of being SICK AND TIRED. I feel like crap every single day. I have no energy whatsoever and Im a married 24 year old mother of two. Im in beauty school but my PASSION is Nutrition and helping people. My dream is to become a functional medicine doctor or something having to do with healing from the inside out. I genuinely want to help people change their lives. I hate seeing people suffer, I hate it. But I cant help people until I am whole. I eat pretty dang healthy and I excercise but since Ive had kids I cant seem to loose anything. I am gaining muscle but I dont FEEL better. Its hard to even get out of bed every day and make my kids food. I dont THINK im depressed but I know I need a change and Im ready for it. Im tired of feeling like crap every day. I want to be my best self. I want energy and LOTS of it. I want my family healthy( My kids LOVE kale and dandelion greens and just about every fruit and veggie to exist) Ive done pretty well with them but I need a change. I could cry just thinking about how miserable I am daily. I would love a copy of the book, Ive tried so many remedies and whatnot. Having a book in front of me with exactly what to do would be a godsend.
I have both books and love them. I’ve followed them for 2 years now. I’m struggling right now with food addiction again to fill my ‘void’. My husband passed away almost a year ago and I really lost who I was and am even more lost. I would love to give these books to my sister who can work with me and motivate each other to keep going.
Thank you for doing the giveaway. God has good things in store on this site. Blessings!
As a cancer survivor, I know the importance of a good diet and exercise. I neglected my health for too long and I’ve got catching up to do. I could use the advice and knowledge from this book. Chris and Heidi are such wonderful inspirations to not only the people on Extreme Makeover, but to anyone who reads their blogs and follows them on social media. I have lost 70 pounds in the last year but it’s getting harder to figure out new ways to keep my diet from getting old and outdated. I would love to have a copy of the book to help me get back in the swing of losing weight and to continue feeling better.
I am sick & tired of being “sick & tired”.
I have yoyoed for years. But this december after my second child comes in early november. I have plans & goals setup for the next year to make the changes for good. Having a tool like this book would enhance my ability to loss the 100lbs I am planning to be rid of forever!
I am choosing to ‘Choose More, Lose More for Life’ because I am so tired of the outside of me not looking like the person I am on the inside. I am so inspired by Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition, but I need a road map to do it on my own…this book is that road map. I love how hard Chris and Heidi work to help people. I see how healthy an example they set for everyone…from their children to their EMWE peeps. I want to set that same example. Since being on the show isn’t feasible, and since I am out of other options…I need this book.
i would luv to get my heads and mind on his book. i have been overweight all my life and over the past 5 1/2 yrs have lost and gained. on the wagon off the wagon as i call it. i think i have tried almost everything that i feel is not health damaging to lose. i have as of now left behind a total of 177 lbs and have more to go. i have learned that this journey is a hard long lifetime one. but so have enjoyed reaping the benefits of the weight i have left behind. i am now finally living life and not just watching other live it.
I would love the book cause you guys have changed lives and i need to lose weight and what better way to do it than follow what you both do. I have to say the Powells Rock!!! I have gained 50 lbs when my 21 yr old daughter passed away 4 1/2 yrs ago so within those yrs of being depressed i had gained weight and i want to get healthy again for the family i have left my other kids and Grandson
I love watching Extreme Weight loss and seeing peoples lives get changed. You guys Rock and inspire so many people! I am studying to be a Health Coach so your new book would be amazing. I have seen the results of your knowledge on the show and would love to read your new book! Blessings to you both!
i would love a copy of the new book. i checked his last book out at library & for the first time i was able to lose but without having it as reference guide i couldnt keep up with it. i need to lose 100 lbs & i know i can do it with chris’ book.y’all are amazing. tjanks!!
Heidi and Chris are so awesome! I would love Chris’ book to help me lose these last 10 baby pounds!!
My name is Taylor Chapman, and my husband, Sean, and I are looking for weight exercises that are effective AND don’t take a lot of time out of our busy schedules. We already use the Vemma Bod-e Shake that Chris and Heidi promote, which has been helping some, but we’ve been wanting to take it to the next level. We also want to be able to share whatever successful methods we find with our friends, family, and pretty much anybody else. We want everyone to live life confidently in a body they love, and I know Chris and Heidi Powell have already made these dreams come true for others. It’d be an honor for that to happen to us, even if it’s through a book. And that’s why we would feel so blessed to receive one of the copies of Chris’s best seller, Choose More, Lose More for Life.
Everyone have a blessed day!
I am so inspired by both of you. I Chose More to Lose More because I have been on a mission for a year and have lost 52 pounds. I have lost my inspiration and need something to get me back on track and I have read the book when I got it from the library. Would like to have my own copy so I don’t have to use my hand written pages of the suggestions for food and exercise.
I just love you Chris! You are such an inspiration to me!! You are tough but humble and know how to reach inside someone and show them how great they can be! I wish I could be on your show. I need some motivation badly. If I am picked I hope this book will inspire me to get in better shape. I am 52 and over-weight. I had a massive heart attack in 2010 and need this more than you will ever know!! Your wife is beautiful, too!
I am a huge fan of Chris and Heidi Powell. They both inspire me in so many ways. I have been on my weight loss journey for 6 months now and would love to add Chris’s philosophy into the equation. Thanks!
I would love a copy of Chris’ new book. I have recently undertaken a C25K… which is painful to watch… never been a runner. BUT this time… this time my goal is simply to show up, to try, to make changes and love myself through it. I would LOVE a copy of Chris’ book. If it reads with the same gentle truth his personality exudes on Extreme Weightloss, the book simply MUST be a winner. I am going to sign up now for any social media from your blog or the Powells’ that I may have missed 🙂

Not only do I need to lose weight, I want to be healthy. I have 10 grandchildren and want to be here for them. the oldest is 6. I need to be healthy to keep up with them. I think you guys are great and love what you are doing to help us become more healthy.
I just love the relationship I have seen with Chris and Heidi. I have seen shows with Chris and have always been inspired and felt like he was a man of honor and someone to respect. He genuinely seemed to care about others. And while I sat and watched him and the people he would help I would cry and celebrate with them, all while eating junk food and wishing I could be like them. At one point I was. I started running and eating healthy and lost 110 lbs but then life happened and I have gained 80+ lbs back and can’t seem to shake the feeling of being a failure. No matter how hard I try I seem to psyc myself out before I start. I now find myself a single mom on a very limited income. I believe this book would be life changing for me. I really mean that. I cannot afford to buy this book, so I will hope and pray my local library will carry it. I want to choose more, and lose for LIFE this time. I want to set an example for my kids and all who know me. I want the tools for success. Thank you for reading
I want to loose weight and look healthy. I love your method of how every season you get everyone down to looking healthy and feeling great. I would like this book because I need the help when you are not on the screen.
Would absolutely be thrilled to win a copy! I have gained alot of.weight since getting remarried and would love to treat my husband to the woman he married…not the woman i am now….no confidence.. no love for herself..no trust in herself…would love to have a fit and exciting life with my husband and family…

Why I want to Choose More, Lose More for Life…
I’ve been carrying a lot of weight around for a very long time. My boys are getting older and I decided to go to college. I’ve spent a couple of years really thinking about what I wanted to be, who I wanted to be. I really have been enjoying Psychology and Criminology courses and so I decided to pursue a career in law enforcement. I will transfer colleges next semester to begin my pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. Obviously, to be in law enforcement, I have to be able to pass a physical test. Right now, I couldn’t do that. The catalyst though is a little more in depth. The why is that I live in a beautiful area (we just moved) and I really want to be able to enjoy being active with my boys. It won’t be long before they are running off to college and I want to make the most of the time we have to teach them healthy living and create great memories. Also, my mother recently ended up in the hospital because her legs are swollen to the point that she cannot walk. The reason the doctor gave was her weight. I don’t want to be in that situation. I don’t want to be told that I cannot walk because I weigh too much. Right now, that is a very real possibility. So, I want to Choose More for my life. I want to Lose More For Life so that I can HAVE a life.
Thank you for the opportunity to win.
I follow you
I am choosing to lose more for life because I’m worth it. I’m tired of being fat and tired and in pain. I have to do this for me. No one else will do it for me, but me!
The reason why I am choosing to Choose more, Lose more for life because it is time. I have put my health on the backburner and it’s time to change. I’m not getting any younger and it’ll be priceless to see the look on my sailors face when he comes home 🙂 Plus Chris and Heidi are a great example that you can be parents and live a healthy lifestyle. They do so much and I admire them both.
I really like your show how you and heidi help people im trying to loose weight my self to this year
I follow you on IG and FB.
I love Chris’s philosophy and I am at a point where I need a new push to drop the weight.
I would love to read a copy of the book. I’ve seen his show and am so impressed by it.
I choose Chris Powell’s Choose More, Lose More for Life because he is such a great person. I always watch every episode of Extreme Makeover: Weight loss because he really changes people’s lives and care so much about them. Plus him and Heidi have rockin bodies so they must know what they are doing!
