Actress Erika Buenfil, 61, is going through a great moment on both a personal and professional level, after losing a few pounds and showing it off in a photo shoot.

The actress, who will soon be back on screen with the soap opera ‘Papas por Siempre’, shared her happiness for the noticeable weight loss she went through.

So far she has lost 17 and it is already noticeable, so she hopes to soon show off the figure she has always dreamed of.

Erika Buenfil explained that she owes her weight loss to a good diet, discipline and also to the fact that she has found a balance in her life.

I am not starving to death, but I am very well, said the actress in an interview with Televisa Espectaculos.

In the same conversation she detailed that it seems like she has lost more pounds than she has registered, which has her very motivated.

(I have lost) like 7 kilos. You can notice more than what I have lost. Visually you can see more than what I have lost and I am very happy, she boasted.

That confidence she gained with her weight loss led her to accept the difficult decision of posing for a photo shoot like she never imagined, which also has her very happy, but she did not want to give further details. A I took some important photos that you will see. And yes, I dared," said the actress, who for now is not thinking about love, assuring that she is fine and happy being single. "I am very happy alone. I am very comfortable. As an artist, you don't have time," she concluded, making it clear that she does not intend to sacrifice her career for love.
