I need help! I am killing myself and want to give up.
Would you like a real challenge? I am 67 years young! I am plagued with arthritis and have not been able to be as active as I need to be. I am 175 pounds but it is very much like being 200 pounds overweight. I have been struggling with 50 pounds for 20 years and know if I could lose it I would extend my life by 20 -30 years. I also am an attractive older woman who would 'shine' with that kind of weight loss. I have tried every diet known to mankind. I need direction as to what I can specifically do to lose and maintain a weight loss. Can you help me? I know i could be beautiful again!
Please take this down if you're not doing any more. The casting calls show 2013 and a lot of people need help, not broken hope.

Hello! My name is Brandy, I am a 26 year old wife and mother. I am 5 feet 11 inches tall and I weigh 260 pounds. I am 100 pounds over weight. My husband and daughter mean the world to me. But I find myself sitting in the house all day long watching my husband and daughter play outside in the sprinkler or running around the backyard, all from the couch, because I don't have to motivation to be active. My family doesn't get the attention that they need because I don't want to go out, because I don't like the way I look, I always feel like people are staring at me because of my weight. I don't want to go outside and play with my daughter because I'm heavy, and after a few minutes outside I am covered in sweat and cant breathe. I feel like my marriage is failing because of my weight. I never want to go out with my husband. I never want to be intimate because I don't like the way I look so how could he? I sit in front of the TV all day and eat. I lay in bed at night and eat. what a quality of life. I have tried dieting and working out before. I always do well for a few months, and then I give up and gain it all back. I am depressed, I am starting to get health issues because of it. I get abscesses and boils on my inner thighs, under arms, and buttocks because of my weight. they are very painful and leave ugly scars all over my body. I cant stand to look at myself in the mirror half of the time. My life revolves around my weight. I need the help to turn it around before its too late. I want a lifestyle change, not just a diet. I want my life back.
My name is Melissa and I am 44 years old and have been battling with my weight for several years. I know everyone has a story. When I got married I weighed 145lbs and then my thyroid went out and I started to gain rapidly. I have become withdrawn from my friends because I am embarrassed on how I look. The simple things in life we take for granted like tying our own shoes and crossing our legs and sitting like a lady. I can't even go on the river because I won't wear a swim suit. It can be 100 degrees out and I will wear jeans. I look in the mirror and all I see is a monster. my husband makes me feel like the ugliest person on the earth and a day doesn't go by that I don't have visions of death. I could go on about the health issues I have faced and dealt with but my main thing is just me. I want to be able to look at me and smile and Just say to myself I love you.
I am 21 years old and I'm 230lbs. I have always struggled with my weigh but when I started birth control I gained 60lbs in a little over 3 months. Ever since then I have struggled to get the weight off. No matter where I go I always feel like I'm reminded of my weight. About 5 years ago I started dating this amazing guy who no matter how much I weighed he always thought I was beautiful. Now that we've been dating for almost 5 years now it's getting serious and if there ever were to be a wedding I would not want to look like I do now. I want him to be able to look at his friends and say "yeah that's my girl" which he does now but I don't feel like I'm worthy of that. I want to feel beautiful again and do this not only for him but for me as well. I've tried diets I even sell weight is supplements! And I feel like the main reason my business isn't booming is because it's kind of ironic for a fat person to be selling weight loss things. My stepdad is even a doctor… So the fact that I'm this over weight while I'm living with a doctor is kind of ridiculous.. Where I struggle is keeping up with routines, maintaining a workout schedule, and keeping up with eating right. Please help. I promise I would make you proud.
My husband is 36 years old and is overweight. I feel his participation would motivate and help him and the rest of our family to being healthy and avoid him of having any high risk medical condition.
Hi, my name is Scott, I have recently turned 35. I weight 400 lbs. I was an athlete through school, and a good one. My brother passed away when he was 20 and I was 21 and my life took a down hill spiral. I am now a father of 4 boys 8,5,4,3 years old. I want to be able to play with my kids, I want to see them graduate high school. With my competitive nature I would be an excellent person on this type of show.
Help, I'm 28 Years old.I am 5'2" weighting in at 200lbs. I have 2 young children one is 5 and the other is 22 months. I live nad unhealthy life style and becausofit I became very sick while I was pregnant with my youngest which led me todeliver kher at 25 weeks pregnant. I am extremely gratefulthat she has no serious health problems.But as for myself i have not been able to get on a healthy track. I amused to being active and playing with my children but lately my weight has gotten in the way of that. I'm not able to enjoy the easy things like going for walks because I get winded very easily and agitated. My husband is not very supposrtive of me trying to be more healthy. He is over weight himself and seesnothing wrong with my size.I just want to be healthy for my children.
Hello đ
I am a 34 year old mother of 2. One angel baby (he would of been 8 yrs old) and a joyful 6 yr old boy. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and am a little over 100 lbs overweight.
I have been plus sized my whole life and I have tried so many different diets to try to find what was easier for me. Reality is it isn't easy. Its really hard and I cant do this alone. I have tried carb counting, weight watchers, diet supplements and plain just not eating. I have dropped a little weight but I always fail. I am great at failing.
I am so unhappy with myself I bring my husband down and my son notices the sadness in myself. Him being 6 yrs old I don't want to be the one to teach him to hate yourself by your appearance. I want him to love himself and others by their heart.
I love who I am as a person but I know I could be a better person if I were happy with myself. I just stay closed and uncomfortable afraid of what people are thinking of me.
My husband and I have argued over my weight for awhile now and it is taking a toll on myself. I am constantly thinking what is he doing with me? Why did he marry me knowing I am a plus size? What does he really think of me? Is he grossed out? Disappointed? He believes this is just me being lazy and not wanting to do anything about it. He doesn't think it should be this hard.
He quit smoking and he thinks that it is harder than losing weight. Where I think we both have addictions and he was able to use Chantix to help him quit…I have not quite found the help I need. I think it is you! I need that positivity in my life to believe in myself. Rather believing that I am a failure. Believing that I am just going to keep getting bigger to the point of my husband being embarrassed and leaving me for someone else. (he has said if I get a certain size he will divorce me).
I need to be shown how to take care of myself and have someone help me along the way until I am comfortable with myself to keep going.
I am embarrassed having to ask for help but I do know I will fail every time if I do this myself. Especially since I wake up every day feeling I have disappointed myself, my husband and my son.
I need help from professionals and I can not afford a personal trainer.
I need motivation and positivity in my life and I see how you train with your hearts. You both are beautiful people and I would love to have you help me. Help me knock down these walls so I can see my true self.
Thank you
Stacy

Hello Chris, my story itself is quite EXTREME, I am a 52 year old male who is morbidly obese at over 400lbs. my height is 5'11" and I'm totally disabled. My list of medical issues are the following: Morbid obesity, diabetes, edema, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, depression, gout, anxiety, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, severe sleep apnea,shortness of breath, enormous fatigue. I currently take medication for virtually all these illnesses each and every day. I have battled with morbid obesity for at least 20 years. There have been many techniques I have faithfully tried to engage to get control of my binge eating-nothing seems to work. My over eating is a deep seated issue but with your program I'm confident of becoming another success story. I WANT TO TRANSFORM AND GET MY LIFE BACK. After watching several of your success stories on the show it motivated me to contact you. Chris I don't want the gift card or the other special items you give to everyone. I will gladly give it all up and will be completely satisfied to just have you as my trainer and inspiration!!! I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Chris I am slowly dying. Please, please help me get my life back so I can once again be a productive part of society. most importantly that I may be an inspiration to others who struggle as wellâthus giving back as I have been given. Background: I am an only child and both my parents suffered with mental and emotional illness. My mother was manic-depressive and my father became so in the last few years of his life. He also dealt with morbid obesity and lymphoma cancer. At one point I had to move my mother out for a time because my father's condition challenged hers. These were very difficult times. I cared for my parents until their deaths. no way to explain how hard it was to be so young and inexperienced and have to make mature adult decisionsâI was 25 years old.I made it by God's grace and the love of family and friends.

I am 218lb at 4ft 11in tall. I am currently 100 lbs over my ideal weight. I have a plethora of medical issues which I admit I have used as excuses for not losing weight. I am a mother of two beautiful little girls and I know they need me but at my current weight I have no energy to devote to them. I want to change to make my life better. I am currently working to reach that goal but I need a little help along the way. I hope you will be able to help. I don't want to use my epilepsy or my scoliosis or anything else as a excuse any longer. I want to live a long happy life and I am devoted to doing what I have to do to get there. Thank you for your time.
All my life people have told me I'm not good enough, pretty enough or skinny enough. The real bullying began in middle school. "Friends" became enemies to "fit in" to the crowd and I turned to food as my way to soothe the pain. Food was my only friend. My family has always supported me and helped me, now I'm in college and on my own for the first time. I KnOW getting down to a manageable weight will make all the difference in achieving what I know Im meant to accomplish! I am ready to be a force for good and help others. I've started mentoring other teean who have been bullied, but I still find myself being held back from achieving more and being able to truly make a difference. I'm 19 and nearly 300 pounds. I want a healthy, active life but with parents who are also heavy I truly don't know how to get there. Everything I read contradicts the last. Low fat? Low calorie? Low carb? Diet foods? No diet foods? Diet Coke, no real Coke is better. What is the right answer? Who is telling me the truth? I have no idea, but I WANT to know! I WANT to lose and gain the knowledge to help others just like me! I'm young and scrappy and hungry! I WILL do whatever it takes to get there. Please consider me.

Hello my name is Valerie, I'm 42 yrs old and a mother of three wonderful children an a wife. I'm 5"6 and 284lbs which is so hard for me to take. I fight with the issue of not having a thyroid.

Hi my name is carey. I am exhausted with the weight I have gained. My whole life until my daughter passed away I was always thinner weighting from 140-155. I am now 257lbs and I have weighted this now for 4 years. After my daughter passed away in 2011 I started struggling with many things I had barely any support seeing my mom passed away a few years prior to that. I started comforting my self with food especially junk food at first I didn't see any weight then it all piled on at once. I am desperate to lose the weight and keep trying but running into a concrete wall. I am a waitress and since I have gained the weight it's harder for me to work on my feet for many hours as I use to. Not to mention I see the difference in the people when I am trying to get a waitress in job. Now that I am big I see the discrimination. Even though they do not say they are Not going to hire me do to my looks. You can tell when everyone running around the place is thin. I am starting to have problems with my health as well and losing the weight will help my issues as in my sugar being off and my back always hurting. My legs swell and all my doctors tell me my body is not use to the weight so now it's taking a toll on me. I would appreciate this opportunity more then words can express.

Hi, I am writing in regards to my best friend. He is the strongest most self disciplined person I have ever met. He has struggled with his weight his whole life and his weight has crept up to near 400 lbs. He has always been athletic and driven. He trains harder than anyone I know, but still cannot get his weight under control. He is such an inspiration to me because he accomplishes goals that I myself, and the majority of people, would give up on. In 2013 he decided he wanted to run a half marathon. He trained his butt off and ran every dang mile. He also lost 100 pounds during this time through hard work and discipline. Over time he has put the weight back on. He deserves so much better and needs to get healthy before it starts affecting his overall health. He is so driven and so inspiring I know he would nail any goal presented to him. His weight gain is definitely not from being lazy and not putting in the work. He struggles with eating healthy, and I believe there may be some underlying physiological problem contributing to weight gain as well. I am asking you to please choose him as a contestant so that he can turn his life around and inspire everyone while doing it.

The worst of it is that I used to love to excercise but as the last two stone of my 23 stone bulk has gone on I am now finding it hard to motavate myself into shifting it up a gear. Chris would be my dream cone true & a year with him would reward me but more importantly it would reward my kids into having the mummy they deserve. Please…
My name is Tiffany. I am 34 years old. I weigh 307 lbs. I am the mother of 3 boys. 14 yrs old 7 yrs old and 14mos old. I feel I need to get in major shape having such a young child. I've always been heavy. Seeing I was over 300 lbs the last time I stepped on the scale just brought me to tears. Immediately thinking of my boys and how I want to be able to play at the park with them.and be around for them. I want to feel good again. I'm just so weighed down and I need the help losing the weight.
Help me I am 24 years old and 418 pounds,5'9". I know casting may be over but I feel like I need support and push to be able to look at myself and be happy with myself. I am one of six kids and I have always felt like the odd one out. I want to feel pretty like my sisters. And feel like I matter . Please let me know if casting is open and how I could apply to be part of the caSt .
have gained it back. My heart condition has worsened slightly and I don't see how I can regain a chance to sing again professionally if I remain as I am now. I have become the caretaker of my 83 year old Dad during this time, and I'm finding it difficult to take care of myself when my attention is on him for the majority of my time at home. This, I know is only an excuse for my unhealthy eating habits and lack of focus. I need serious help. I think your type of one on one intensive counseling and training is what I need to find myself again, and sing again.

I am a 53 year old singer with a decent amount of professional experience. One day a few years ago I thought I'd google my name, Chris Powell, for a lark, curious if it would pop up anywhere on the web. It sure did, but it was your name, of course, and you I read about. At that point I hadn't seen the show and hadn't even heard of you. I mentioned this to my sister Nikki, who is an actress and has danced all her life, keeping her body very fit. She told me about Extreme Makeover, saying how wonderful the show is and how she was touched seeing a person's life transformed. She immediately recommended I think about auditioning for the show. I have been what my doctor calls "morbidly obese" for most of my adult life. In the past five years, I've had my singing career come to complete halt due to my serious health problems and lack of confidence.
In the Fall of 2012, after having lost a great singing job I'd had for five years, I spent a week in the hospital and was diagnosed with congestive heart disorder. Five months later I was losing weight very quickly and had become dangerously dehydrated. I ended up back in the hospital for another week because now I also had type 2 diabetes. I weighed 360 lbs. coming out of thr hospital that second time, but I have not been able to lose any weight or if I lose 10 lbs, I invariably hav
I was never skinny. I have been on the larger size of healthy, but have never felt comfortable in my own skin. My real weight problem started when I was 15 and became pregnant with my oldest child. My life did a complete 180. I lost all of my friends, most of my family, and the father of my child within a few weeks. I was isolated and turned to food in my depression. I gained 80lbs from that pregnancy. Flash forward 6 years, I am married to a wonderful man, a sailor, and we have 2 more daughters. I went from 170lbs at 15 to being a 270lb 22 year old woman who is extremely unhappy. I feel ugly and useless. I know my husband loves me for who I am, but I feel like I embarrass him. I should not be heavier than my husband. I am 5'7 and 270lbs. It is mortifying. People stare at me when I am out and it is humiliating. I need help. I lose some weight, then gain it back almost over night. I feel like this is my last hope. I don't know what else I can do. Please, please,please, consider me.

Hi I am a 33 about to be 34 year old female. I have been over weight my entire life but it did not balloon out of control until I gave my daughter up for adoption 14 years ago. It was the hardest decision I have ever made in my life and obviously I ate my way through my feelings. It has taken me the better part of the last 14 years to come to healthy place with my decision. I recently went to school and finished my LPN degree and am now looking to improve my life in other ways. I am 5'5" and weigh 380 lbs. I need your knowledge and help to get to my goals. I need to be healthy so that I can encourage and assist other to be healthy. Please help.

It's possible the summer would be a time I could begin. I don't kniw. Thanks for opportunity to share my story.

I do not have half of my weight to lose but I realize. At 35 years of age I am 50+ pounds over weight and I am afraid of how much more I will continue to gain. I have been married five years and my husband to is over weight. We are young we can't have children and we are afraid that is is it for us. I would love nothing more to be healthy and happy so my husband and myself can try to live our lives to the fullest and have no less health concerns. We both wished for a family and that now. Ring out of the question for us I guess now it's time to wish for health and happiness. I know this show is for 50% body weight. Pease save us before that is the case, help us combined to lose 100+ lbs and gain longevity.

Hi! I'm 58 years old and divorced after 36 years of marriage. Husband found another woman and believe a lot of it was from me being overweight which I have been all my life. I currently weigh around 220 and at my heaviest was 260. I had weight lost surgery but only lost about 60 lbs. I have a few health issues nothing major. I feel like I have hit rock bottom especially when someone puts you down because of your weight and tells you how old you look and how you didn't take care of yourself! I want help and need help!!
Hello, my name is Kathleen, Katie for my family and friends; or to my nieces and nephews I am aunt kk. I am 33 years old. I have struggle my whole life with my weight. I done so many diets over the years with only a 30-40 lb weight loss. I have never been skinny. I have always been the chubby girl, to now the obese woman. My siblings have always been worry about my weight. My mom is always telling me that no more will love me because of my weight, that I will never have children with this weight on me, that I will get diabetes by the time I am 40. My dad passed away in 2008. He had many medical problems and I took care of him since I was a little girl. My siblings are married and have families, but my duty was taking care of my dad and mom. I wouldn't give up any of those years being with my dad, because it maded me into the person I am today; which is caring, loving, giving, patient, and strong. I am the person who would put her family and friends before her needs, my saying "sitting on the back burner". I know in my heart if I didn't stay with my parents then I would be married with a family. When my dad passed away in 2008. My family lived in a fog. I had to stay and be strong for my mom. So when my sister wanted my mom to move to be with her family, I moved with her. I know that my weight issues are from all the years putting others needs first and from emotional/physical abuse I suffered through my life with my family, friends, and classmates. I tried so many times to lose this weight. I need your help Chris. Please choose me. I need to finally get my life back. I need to fully love me inside and out. I am so afraid that I will never find love and a family like my other siblings have. The smallest I was in high school was a size 10/12. I am 5'6 and I am 291 lbs. I love to work out but I know I don't eat properly. I don't eat breakfast. Which I know is horrible to do. I have stomach issues and I am always nauseated in the morning. I know I will work my butt off for you and your wife Heidi. I don't want to disappoint you and I want to prove to myself, god, and my family that I can do this. I just need the help to make my life a better and healthier enovironemnt. Please consider me for extreme weight loss. I understand if I don't get choosen. Regardless, I will keep believing in myself and keep exercising and eating better. May God bless you and your family with many blessings. Thank you for inspiring so many people. Thank you for making me see I am worthy and strong.

I am currently 39 and will turn 40 this year. I have been overweight my whole adult life. I came close to the 300 lb mark last year and it scared me. I attempted many things many times and it helps for a short time because it is just a bandage to the true issues of my life. I want help before I turn 40 and hit more health risks that I have seen family members struggling with. Please help!!
Chris PLEASE CHOOSE ME!
My name is Amalia and Iâve been heavy all of my life. My mother would TELL ME âwhen you were younger raising you was a challenge because, they couldnât find clothes that would fit you let alone clothes you would actually keep on!â I donât know why I was such a fat baby or heavy child however, now I am an obese adult and it haunts me daily. As a teenager I did not value myself and had very low self-esteem which resulted in a teen pregnancy. Everyone around me said my life was over because I was pregnant and 17. I heard all the stats on teen pregnancy and was facing nothing more than a low income life on government assistance. So everyone thought! I have overcome all the stats that were thrown at me because, I did not want to be ANOTHER statistic. I graduated high school, had a baby, and receive the presidentâs educational award for my school all in 2 weeksâ time May 2004. I went to community college and graduated with my Liberal Arts degree in May of 2008. I wanted to reach bigger and get a bachelorâs degree because only 40% of the population has this degree. My dream has come true I will graduate this May 2014 with my bachelorâs in psychology from CSU however, Iâm still a statistic because I AM OBESSE. I got a full time job working for the VA medical center in my home town and life seems to be grand BUT, I weigh more than I did when I was 9 months pregnant. This makes me feel like Iâm not worth very much although my weight is only a number it impact my self-worth greatly. PLEASE HELP ME FINISH MY GOAL AND NOT BECOME ANOTHER STATISTIC!!!!!!!
YOUR NEWEST CLIENT,
Amalia
