Why did you decide to start the challenge? 

I decided to join Maria’s challenge when I was at a very low point. I reached the heaviest weight and I was so tired all the time, bored and depressed. That’s when I found her program through one of the bloggers on IG and I decided to jump in to it specially when I found the program so affordable.

What was your biggest obstacle in completing the challenge and how did you overcome it?

The hardest thing i faced in the challenge was the workouts. I never worked out in my life so this was so new to me. I struggled a lot even with modifications. I wanted to quit a couple of times bit Maria always had my back and she believed in me and made me believe in myself. She is such an inspiration ♥️

What was the most rewarding part of the challenge?

I gained so much from this challenge. Not only physical gains but mental gains as well. To count my gains i lost a total of 30 kg, i am now a person who loves to workout and do 6 days a week, i am more confident and i love myself, i fixed my relationship with food and no more emotional eating for me, i made amazing friendships from the community and I absolutely adore them ❤️

What did you learn about yourself during these 8-weeks of work?

I learned that i am strong and that i have an amazing willpower. I am brave and i am beautiful. But most of all I learned that I deserve the best i can give I learned that i am worth it. SELF LOVE.

What advice would you give someone starting the challenge? 

my advice would be dont give up!!! Keep on pushing and giving it your all because you deserve it and the outcome is totally worth it. We all struggled and still struggle sometimes but we get it done regardless, no excuses. Reach out to the community it will support you and have your back whenever you need

How was your experience with the CMF community; what tools did you utilize from the community?

I love the FB group it is a safe place where you share your progress, concerns and questions. I love the workout crews and i changed from a shy person who doesn’t like to be seen on camera to a person who loves zoom classes and group workouts all thanks to Maria and the CMF community ❤️❤️

Columbian Mafia Fit changed me to the best version of myself! Thank you Maria ❤️
