Congratulations to our 2024 Summer 8 Week #1uptransformationchallenge Male 5th place $2,000 cash prize winner Victor James @jf_wellness_
This is his story:
Salutations, good people; my name is Victor James II, and I am proud to say that I am the 5th place winner of the Fall 2024 #1upTransformationchallenge! All my life I have struggled to maintain a healthy weight. Even as a collegiate athlete, one of the first things my coach told me when I stepped on campus was that I needed to lose weight. So, you can imagine nearly twenty years later working full time while being a husband and a father of two phenomenal young men, the prognosis hadn’t changed much.
Until….
In the summer of 2020, I was looking for external motivation, and my search led me to 1Up Nutrition. What I found was far greater than anything I could have imagined because the products, support, and online community helped me refocus on my goals every time I wavered. So here I am, 12 challenges later; I have finally taken a step towards accomplishing my goals and becoming my true self.
Throughout this challenge, it was a struggle to stay disciplined through my birthday, parties, potlucks, Thanksgiving, and a host of other daily distractions. Two weeks in, I was tired of waking up early to go to the gym; I was hungry all the time; and I had more aches and pains than I could count. However, I kept dragging myself to the gym and saying no to things that didn’t benefit me or align with my goals. When the challenge ended, all of those feelings were a distant memory, and I was beyond pleased with my progress.
If you want to get in shape or lose weight; get started today! Plan and stick to it. There will always be a holiday, birthday, or some distraction to give you a reason to take a break and possibly derail your progress. If it doesn’t fit into your plan, don’t do it. Whatever it is you think you need, it’s not going anywhere. Stay the course, work hard, and #BecomeBetter.
Be blessed; good luck!
