Jim Stoppani Transformation Contest FAQS
How do I sign up for a challenge?
To join a challenge, you'll first need to register as a member on the site. If you are already a member, simply log in and click the challenge banner on the homepage.. Once you're signed up, you can easily register for any challenge you’re interested in. After registering, you’ll receive a detailed program overview that explains the type of training involved, how long the program lasts, and what to expect. You’ll also get a sample diet plan to follow, along with guidance on which supplements to take and when, so you can perform at your best throughout the transformation.
Do I have to join by a certain date?
Yes! If you want to participate in a challenge, you’ll need to sign up before the deadline listed for that specific challenge. Registration is typically open for about a month to give as many members as possible the chance to join before it kicks off. To see your countdown timer for the exact time you have to finish the challenge, log into the jimstoppani.com website and go to your challenge hub.
Do I need to post progress pictures?
Yes, progress pictures are a required part of the challenge. After registering, you’ll need to submit a “Before” photo that includes a newspaper or another proof of the current date for verification purposes. The Timestamp app is another way to verify the official date. For the initial photo, men should wear briefs or underwear with no shirt, and women should wear undergarments or whatever you feel most comfortable in while showing as much progress as possible. Throughout the challenge, you’ll be expected to upload weekly progress photos to the site. At the end, you’ll submit a final photo to show off your transformation!
What if I miss a photo?
If you happen to miss uploading a progress photo, please reach out to us right away at support@jimstoppani.com . A member of the JYM Army Support team will do their best to help you get the photo added. However, this only applies if you've missed one week. Photos missed over multiple weeks may not be accepted. So be sure to contact us as soon as possible!
Do I need to complete each workout before submitting the progress photos?
Yes, you’ll need to mark every workout during the challenge as completed before submitting your weekly progress photo. Make sure to mark each workout as completed to stay on track and ensure your photos are accepted! You will not be able to upload the next weeks progress photo unless they are all marked as completed, so this is a great first step to check if you are getting an error trying to upload.
Does my photo Upload Immediately?
After you complete your training week, mark each workout as completed and upload your progress photo; there may be a short delay before it appears. If you don’t see it right away, don’t worry, it’s still being processed and will be uploaded shortly. You can also log out and then log back in if you are not seeing the photo uploaded after some time. If you still do not see anything uploaded after 24 hours, please feel free to email support@jimstoppani.com , and someone from the JYM Army Support team will assist further.

Is there anything else I need to know before beginning?
The most important thing is to have fun! Transformation contests are an excellent way to start or take your fitness to the next level in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

Whether you achieve a huge transformation or just lose a few inches around your waist, take a moment to celebrate your progress. The real reward is the way you feel and the sense of accomplishment you’ll gain from completing this challenge!
How Do I take my Progress Photos?
Your progress photos should be a relaxed front-facing pose. If you want to include multiple angles, you’ll need to create a collage, as only a single file/photo can be uploaded each week. It’s important to take these photos after completing all your workouts for the week, and it's best to use the same spot and lighting each time for consistency.
See the example photo provided to show you how this should be done. This will give you a better idea of how to capture your transformation accurately.
