Translated from Spanish by AI. Claudia wrote this story in Spanish.

Before joining this program I thought I ate healthily. I signed up for this challenge with the clear vision of doing it to have an extraordinary longevity. I had my doubts about whether I was eating the right way to achieve my life goal. I started telling my family that I would live for many years and I would do it in good health. At the beginning my aim wasn't to lose weight, although I started to notice incredible changes in my skin. The cellulite disappeared and my measurements went down by between 6 and 9 cms. When I started I had the idea that it was normal to have abdominal bloating after eating. I noticed that as I eliminated foods that to me weren't harmful, my stomach stopped bloating. The fat stored on my hips or lower back I had only managed to get rid of with machines. After three children I thought it was normal to have it. Thanks to this program my energy was magnified. Although the people around me haven't noticed my changes that drastically physically, I feel and look my best. I lost 13 pounds. I started Wildfit weighing 124 pounds and finished at 111pounds. What has surprised me most are my measurements.

WEEK 1: Lower abdomen: 80cms Upper abdomen: 74cms Hips: 99cms Right leg: 57cms Left leg 56cms Right arm: 11cms Left arm: 10.8cms Bust: 89cms

WEEK 13 Lower abdomen: 76 cms Upper abdomen: 68 cms Hips: 91 cms Right leg: 51.5 cms Left leg 51 cms Right arm: 10.5 cms Left arm: 10 cms Bust: 89 cms

When I signed up for Wildfit I talked with my family to tell them about the program that would help me achieve my goal of having a good longevity. It was curious because my husband and my 17-year-old daughter, who are reluctant to be told what to do, asked me. I told them about the challenge and what I had heard in the free class. At that moment I didn't intend to invite them because my priority was learning and not convincing.

The most interesting thing was that day after day, night after night, both of them watched the videos. In fact my husband never came over to see them, he only listened to them. Actually my plan wasn't to include them. I felt too lazy to convince them .

Luis Fernando, my husband, was slim when I met him 22 years ago. After that it was clear to me that although he wasn't very overweight, he wouldn't change his habits. My daughter caught my attention because she's a teenager in her final year before graduating. I had my doubts whether she would understand what we were doing and would manage it even while being with her friends.

Thanks to this program TODAY we finished week thirteen. It seemed so far away and it turned out short. My husband lost 28 pounds, he took 20 years off. People look at him and compliment him more than me. I thought he wouldn't manage it because he had moments of rebellion where he wanted to try the opposite and found out for himself how bad he felt doing it. I never thought he would give up coffee. From the day he gave it up he started sleeping extraordinarily well. His dark circles disappeared, his measurements started going down. For several weeks he's been getting up before dawn and now he gets to his company at 6:00 in the morning with triple the energy. I watch him and I love hearing him talk about WYLDFIT with such confidence. It seems as if the program was bought for him and not for me. He went down several clothing sizes and looks younger than ever. The people at his office have started to take an interest in what he's doing. His friends ask him. He recommends the program with incredible confidence. I'm truly surprised. Erick achieved what I never achieved, not even by example. Listening to Erick was so convincing that he got interested in continuing. He himself started to realise that he felt bad when he did the opposite. I tried not to pay attention to it because in theory the one in the program was me. However, he kept listening to the audios by my side and asked for the same food to be made for him. He understood that he liked rum because of the sugar in the coca cola. When he had the chance to try it without coca cola the experience wasn't the same. He used to buy canned food for the house and now I see him in the supermarket reading the labels before consuming foods. He's been surprised by the whole sugar issue.

My 17-year-old daughter has been THE BEST! Not a single slip. Something changed in her that has led her to follow this lifestyle in an impressive way. I watch her with her school friends at starbucks, restaurants, parties, trips and she has been able not to fail. I admire her because at her young age she has learned something wonderful. Her body's inflammation went down. She no longer has acne, it's incredible how her face is clear and glowing. She has lost weight and measurements. She doesn't have abdominal bloating and her face is slimmer. She has started cooking different meals at home and is encouraging her siblings to eat healthier.

My 7 and 10-year-old children, although they aren't so convinced about changing, have started to become aware. My ten-year-old son stopped eating Nutella, when someone offers it to him he thinks about it and says no. They drink more water. The little one has been trying our meals step by step. Both have started drinking almond milk, eating pistachios, giving up ketchup, pasta, rice, bread and canned food. I have not the slightest doubt that in the same way they will keep making changes with the example we give them. For them, seeing their dad has INSPIRED them ✨

THANK YOU ERICK, my family is different now since we met you. I hope to meet you one day because WILDFIT changed our lives. WE'RE NOT going back, we're going to keep inspiring others with our example. I know that when I'm eighty, ninety and reach a hundred years old, those who are close by will think that it all began when I started WILDFIT.
