The Transformation category is a recent addition to NABBA Australia and will be featured in State and National shows. It encompasses not only weight loss but also recognizes individuals who have overcome challenges such as eating disorders, disease, cancer, mental health challenges, and any other health condition that has significantly impacted your life. This category serves as a celebratory platform to showcase personal journeys towards
a healthier more positive lifestyle, celebrating each and every individual’s transformation whatever it looks like or even doesn’t look like as many transformations can be invisible.
