WILDFIT

"I've lost 22 pounds, learned quite a few new recipes and I'll never look back again"

Quick summary

After her weight loss stalled despite working out six days a week, this 55-year-old athlete discovered Wildfit and lost 22 pounds. She gained the confidence to manage her diet independently and learned to focus on how she feels rather than what the scale says.

Before starting Wildfit I had already begun my with own dietary changes and had lost 10 pounds. My weight loss had stalled even though I was going to the gym 6 days a week. I think being 55 had a lot to do with my difficulties.. The Wildfit program was just what I needed and I realized that I was in the right place after the first 3 - 5 weeks. Things Eric was asking me to do, I had already done, but I had no idea what was ahead. The program taught me how to read food Iabels, I've completely cut sugar out of my diet-unless it's naturally occurring, I've lost 22 pounds, learned quite a few new recipes and I'll never look back again. I feel totally empowered and confident in my ability to manage my diet and weight with the tools that Wildfit provided. Eric taught me to be ok with how I feel and not the scale because according to my BMI I'm obese. I'm 55, 5'9" and 203 pounds. With all of that and at a higher weight I've completed over 50 half marathons , 12 sprint triathlons, 5k's, 10k's & 15k's and I've never felt the level of confidence that Wildfit gave me.
