What was your first job and biggest lesson learned?

Welcome to this amazing community please introduce yourself below. 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ Hello! My name is Ely Rivera, and I have spent 22 years as a firefighter, dedicating my career to helping people—often in their most critical moments. This extensive experience has shown me the powerful importance of taking immediate action, communicating clearly, and working together to solve problems, whether big or small. Beyond emergency calls, my commitment to helping others extends deeply into my personal life. As a married man for over 17 years, being a family man isn't just a title; it's the foundation of my drive to create a safe and supportive environment, not only for my loved ones but for everyone in my community. This perspective reinforces my belief in understanding individual needs and building trust. I'm passionate about extending this mindset of service and support. Whether through community initiatives, mentoring, coaching, or simply being a reliable resource, I'm motivated to make a positive impact wherever I can. By sharing our skills and time, and approaching challenges with the same care we give our families, we can strengthen our communities and make them more resilient. We will work together using the 1st Phorm app along with 1st Phorm supplements and nutritional products. I look forward to connecting with others who share this passion for helping and exploring how we can collectively support those around us. @everyone 🚀 How to Get the Most Out of This Community I didn't build this group for you to be a spectator. I built it for you to take action. Here is how we move the needle together: 1. Introduce Yourself (The Level 1 Challenge) Don't be a ghost. Comment on this thread below. - Tell us: What's your current goal? - The "Ely" Special: What’s the hardest thing you’ve done this week? - Pro Tip: On Skool, you level up by getting likes on your posts. Introducing yourself is the fastest way to hit Level 2! 2. The Daily 10k Step Check-In We move every day. Whether you’re walking in the Arizona heat or on a treadmill at home, post a screenshot of your 10k steps in the community feed. This keeps everyone accountable—myself included.

To get back on track after a "fall off," focus on these three steps: ​Show Up (The Entry Point): Forget the heavy PRs for a day. Just break the streak of inactivity by getting through the gym doors or completing your mile walk. Momentum starts with the first step. ​Reset Your Fuel: Fix the nutrition immediately. Getting your hydration and supplement routine (like your 1st Phorm stack) back in order provides an early daily "win" that builds discipline for the workout. ​ Focus on Routine, Not Results: Don't worry about how you look or feel right now. Simply commit to your schedule and the clock. Discipline is about doing the work even when the motivation is gone.

Hello, I’ve been sick for the past week. I feel like I’ve lost progress in my weight gain journey. Before I was sick I weighted 180 LB now I’m back down to 175 LB. During that time I still worked at my job that requires me to walk quite a bit. I still tried to hit my step goals & water intake to help my recovery. After my sickness, when I stepped on the scale and saw I dropped 5 pounds I felt defeated. All my work I’ve put in just washed away in a week. I used to be 315 LB and dropped down to 175 LB and along that journey there were stalemate when my body would plateau and I had to fight through it. I understand that everybody’s body is different and we’re all fighting our own little things in the world. My advice for you all is if you’re feeling defeated. Pray ask for strength and motivation. Find something/someone that motivates you. Ask for advice. We’re all in this TOGETHER!!!

​Huge thanks to everyone who showed up today. The grind was real, but the conversations were even better. ​This is how we get better—one step, one rep, and one conversation at a time. See you all next month! Mark your calendars we will be running back Feb 22nd. @Joshua Jefferson @Marti Wolfe @Daniel Diaz @Fred Baldridge @Cesar Morales
