Congratulations to our 2025 Spring 8 Week #1uptransformationchallenge Male 2nd place $6,000 cash prize winner Ryan Sears
This is his story:
“I grew up overweight and have struggled with it even as an adult. Before this challenge, I was already training regularly, but I felt like I needed a goal to push myself. I was looking for structure, purpose, and a challenge that would test me physically and mentally. That’s what drew me in.
Throughout the challenge, I committed fully while allowing myself to still enjoy meals with friends and family. In the past I would turn down these opportunities to spend time and enjoy food with friends and family because I could not accurately track macros. I did my best on the handful of occasions to accurately track and stay within my macro allotment.
If you’re just starting out, my biggest tip is don't sweat the small stuff. Track your food, stay consistent, but don’t chase perfection and chase progress. The journey is not about one perfect week, it’s about showing up again and again.
Huge thanks to everyone who put this challenge together. It gave me way more than a physical transformation—it gave me clarity, discipline, and the confidence that I can push through anything.”
