Congratulations to our dear customer and 8 week #1uptransformationchallenge participant Frankie Iriarte on a fantastic transformation!
This is his story ๐
โ I joined the 1UP Transformation Challenge to take back my health and get a better understanding of dieting and exercise. I was always a bit bigger growing up and as far back as I can remember, Iโve also been very self-conscious of my weight.
I felt extremely motivated during the challenge because I knew I was making a big change for myself and showing those around me as well that adversity was just another obstacle to overcome. Getting started is definitely the hardest part; but once you get that ball rolling and fully commit to yourself, every single day becomes easier as you work towards your goals.
Something I truly invested time in was learning more about nutrition and eating healthier. I actually started keeping track of calories and carbohydrates, etc., when I was meal prepping or just eating in any given day.
Overall my experience in this challenge was amazing. The challenge forced me to get out of my comfort zone and helped push me towards losing weight and learning more about nutrition. It taught me more about resilience and positivity, I lost my grandmother 2 days before the challenge started and 2 other family members during the challenge. I finished the challenge for them and gave everything I had and more. I had every reason to quit or to not even start; but as long as you recognize what can be changed in your life for the better, every day you wake up should be used towards any goal you have.
For those starting their fitness journey or getting back to a life of fitness, take that first step and keep moving! Everyone can make excuses and everyone can make that choice as well, get started and invest in yourself!โ
