Ryan Towata is a teacher at Liholiho Elementary School in Kaimuki.
He says his favorite memory of watching Oprah were her shows about eating better and transforming your body.
Three years ago, Ryan made the decision to take control of his health, so he cut out fast food, started cooking his own meals, and exercised more.
He lost 50 pounds and is the healthiest he’s ever been.
Ryan writes, "I thank Oprah for motivating me to be that role model for my students, friends and family."
Great job Ryan and congratulations because you won a Waikiki staycation courtesy of KHON2 and Outrigger Hotels.
On Wednesday, May 25th, we’ll pick our favorite memory and that person will win a trip for two to San Francisco.
