OT leader SMASHES records with one stone weight-loss in first week

This year’s leaders faced the scales this week.

Operation Transformation kicked into full gear this week as the leaders faced their first weigh-in of the season. Yes, with each leader having a target weight-loss to meet this week, viewers were shocked when one of them absolutely smashed their target with record-breaking numbers. David Cryan wowed viewers when he had a weight-loss of 1st 2.5lbs in his first week – the biggest weight loss in the history of the show.

And David wasn’t the only leader who killed it this week – Cork man Wayne O’Donnell also surpassed his target when he recorded a weight-loss of 11.5lbs in his first week – more than doubling his target of 5lbs.
