The Powells Help Alyssa Stommen Lose 204 lbs on EWL!

Alyssa Stommen’s year-long journey to lose weight and get healthy was chronicled yesterday on “Extreme Weight Loss” as Chris and Heidi Powell, TV Celebrity Transformation Specialists and Vemma Bod•ē Spokespeople, helped her tackle lifelong weight problems. Alyssa said she has turned to food since she was 10 years old, trying to find comfort and solace after her mother, Laura, died in a tragic car accident, adding that, “She was definitely the rock of the family.”

“I’ve never been the same since,” Alyssa says, who was also in the car, but not seriously injured. A deer ran in front of them, and Alyssa’s mother was ejected from the car, ending up in the middle of the road. “It’s engraved into the middle of my mind forever,” Alyssa says. “When your kid wakes up in the middle of the night crying for her mom, what do you do?” her father says on camera. He took her to the movies, bought her snacks and pizza, trying to make her feel better if just for a short while. Alyssa’s life changed forever, and she gained over 300 pounds, starting out the episode at 414 pounds.

When Chris Powell called Alyssa, she was overjoyed. “This is, by far, the best phone call I’ve ever had in my entire life,” she says. “I feel like I’ve been letting my mom down,” she says. She considers it to be an opportunity to turn her life around. Alyssa’s path to wellness resulted in the 22-year-old woman dropping 204 pounds.** As for Alyssa’s future, she still works out six times a week and maintains about the same weight she did at the episode’s finale. Alyssa is also seeking a new career path. “I’m going back to school. I don’t want to sit behind a desk for the rest of my life. That’s just not me anymore. So I’m going back to school for ultrasound technology, to keep me on my feet and keep me going all the time. I’m excited to start this new chapter in my life.”
