Chris Powell Helps Trina Miller

Chris Powell Helps Trina Miller Lose the Weight and Gain the Gift of Health and Life

Last night on Extreme Weight Loss, Chris and Heidi Powell helped Trina Miller drop 20 sizes in 12 months.** The 47-year old resident of Grosse Ile, Michigan (the largest island in the Detroit River) says she has a history of stress eating. Trina says she first turned to food to deal with stress as a 12-year-old, to help her cope with her parents’ painful divorce. For years, Trina neglected her own health despite knowing the risks of obesity. “As a registered nurse and mother of three, I have always taken care of everyone else,” Trina says. “When the open casting call came to my area I took a look at my life; my children were young adults, yet I still continued to do almost everything for them. I guess I never wanted to let their world fall apart as mind had at that age. I realized that it was time to put myself first! So I said to my husband, I’m going to do this for me!”

Powell perfect support system to lose 50 percent of her weight**

Trina started her weight loss journey at 290 lbs and went through ups and downs during the year, including financial hardships, falling back into old eating habits, and briefly regaining some weight. But by the time she had her final weigh-in with Chris Powell, she had lost 50 percent of her weight, weighing in at a lean, healthy 145 lbs.** She attributes much of her success to working with the Powells. “Chris and Heidi Powell are the most amazing transformation team!” Trina says. “Chris is unbelievable, with his caring and compassionate words and his amazing ability to get me to love myself enough, to believe in myself, and realize that I am worth it. Heidi is so tough, but does it with love. In boot camp in Arizona we would go up and down this steep mountain for two hours. I would think I was done — I felt like I couldn’t take another step — and then Heidi would pop by with her encouraging, energetic, motivating words, and she would push me to go up and down that mountain a couple more times. And that is Heidi, the roar behind Chris’ gentle compassionate encouragement!”

Bod•ē for busy lifestyles

“The Bod•ē products make it so easy for such a busy lifestyle as mine,” says Trina, who works 12-hour shifts as a registered nurse. “I loved the carbonation and natural energy pick me up of the Bod•ē Burn, and used it every morning to get my workout day started! My favorite product is the Chris Powell Bod•ē Shake! I am a sweet eater and the chocolate ice cream flavor is so rich and creamy and when I blend it with ice it is like heaven in a cup! As a meal replacement, it has the perfect balance of nutrition and really tastes amazing. I also like Bod•ē Rest, an all-natural supplement that helps me restore my body after a long shift at work.* My most restful nights are the ones when I use Bod•ē Rest!”*

Strength in numbers

Alongside helping Trina eat healthy and develop a love of exercise, the Powells also encouraged Trina to shed emotional baggage during her journey. “I have buried years of emotions in all that weight I carried,” Trina says, “and Chris and Heidi helped me learn to allow myself to work through those emotions and heal myself. With each pound I shed, I became not only physically stronger, but emotionally stronger as well.”

From the start, Trina wanted to pass along what she’d learned from Chris and Heidi with others. She talked six other nurses into joining her on a 12-month weight loss program that earned them a special boot camp in Arizona with the Powells and cameo appearances on Trina’s episode. “Together, we lost 500 lbs in one year!” shares Trina.** “The Bod•ē products were so helpful for me, so I shared them with the other nurses and they loved them as well.”

Embracing a new healthy lifestyle

At Trina’s final weigh in, she was gorgeous and confident in a size 8.** “I feel amazing,” she shares. “I look in the mirror and it still takes my breath away! I have lived in elastic waist pants for over 20 years, so the most incredible thing to me about losing 145 lbs is going from a size 26/28 elastic waist pants to size 8 skinny jeans that have a zipper and a button!** And the thing is, I haven’t had a tummy tuck yet! I can’t imagine what it will be like to get rid of all this loose skin on my stomach.”

Trina has a strong commitment to living healthy and keeping the weight off. “I enjoy exercising and that is something I never thought I would say,” shares Trina. “I love the outdoors! After years of hiding and not living life I get outside now and ride my bike and jog in the park.” Trina faced unforeseen trials during the past year and is grateful she had the Powells to fall back on for support. “It’s amazing how Chris and Heidi could come into my life and produce this powerhouse of change within me that kept me fighting for a healthier me. In December, when our world at home was falling apart financially, how did they put the strength in me to keep going?” The answer, she says, is their compassion. “You cannot teach compassion; it comes from your life’s experiences and makes you who you are. Chris and Heidi have that unique compassion that truly comes from the heart. I am forever grateful to them for the gift of my health and life back.”
