Hey all, I want to keep our group together as much as you would like to be together to share wins continually. I wanted to see what the best place to connect going forward is. Skool is an additional cost each month, so I was going to use a free resource for us until the next challenge. I was thinking either Discord, a Facebook community, or an Instagram community. Anybody have any recommendations or preferences? Want to do what's best for the community

60 days. One incredible transformation. Congratulations to our $1,000 Grand Prize Winner — JAKE GELVAR! 👑 @Jake Gelvar didn't just show up… he dominated — dropping a jaw-dropping 22.3% of his body weight. That's 48.1 lbs GONE. 🔥 From Day 1 to the final weigh-in, he LOCKED IN and never looked back. Join me and some special guests in congratulating Jake! To every single person who started this challenge — YOU are why this community is special. And we're just getting started. 🙌 And for anyone who benefitted from some great training and health advice from @Connor Derrickson I highly recommend you checking out more of what he has to offer with his top tier coaching!

The votes are in — 315 voted — and after the closes finish possible… @Joshua Warren is your Lefty Reset Best Transformation Champion! 👑 The man took it by a single percentage point — 36% to Ivan's 35%. That is as nail-biter as it gets. Joshua, the work you put in over these 60 days speaks for itself. Congratulations, champ. You earned every bit of this. 🔥 And let's give it up for Ivan, who pushed this to the wire, plus Theresa and Marc — every single one of you who landed on that poll did so because you transformed. Finalist or not, that's the whole point. To everyone who voted, commented, checked in week after week, and dropped over 2,000 pounds collectively as a community — THIS is what The Lefty Reset is about. You didn't just change your bodies. You changed what you believe you're capable of. Joshua, I'll be in touch about your Prize. 👀 Proud of every one of you. — Nico

I did my final check in today!!! I lost 23# over the course of the reset. My goal was 10-15#. I focused on nutrition, recovery, hydration, drilling instead of playing, and I didn’t let myself skip workouts. I’m so happy with what I did and even more happy that so many of you saw improvement too. I was already trying to loose some weight in 2026 before the reset and I had just started to lose some discipline when the reset swooped in to save the day and get me back on track. I look better than I have in 20 years, feel better than I’ve felt in 20 years, I’m playing better pickleball than I ever have. This was a wonderful experience and I really think that anyone who participated came out of this was a net positive impact on their life. Don’t stop now. Post check in workout with kettlebells and bodyweight exercises. Finishing with a 5K row in sub 21:00!!! LFG

I’m so thankful for the connections made and the steady encouragement from everyone during the Lefty Reset challenge. “Community” really was the perfect word for those final check-in photos! I truly felt it. I even got to meet some of the local participants in person, which made the whole experience even more special. Shoutout to @John Marchese and @Joshua Warren I was already trying to do the right things on paper before the challenge, but other factors had been holding my progress back. This reset gave me the nudge I needed to finally try intermittent fasting, and for the first time in a long while, I’m seeing the scale move in the right direction. That shift feels so encouraging! A huge thank you to @Nico Valencia for putting this challenge together, the sponsors and to all the amazing participants who joined in. Your support and shared journeys made a real difference. Grateful and motivated to keep going!
