Here is a part of their story:<\/p>\n<p>My name is Maria Esther Guerrero. I\u2019m 40 years old. I live in a neighborhood called Balcones de alta vista and my life before I knew about FDF was depressed and pointless. I had no friends and I didn\u2019t want to meet my neighbors because I knew that we\u00a0were nothing alike. The hardest thing that I went through was being overweight and lonely.<\/p>\n<p>I had no motivation to change that until I went to FDF which make me feel so good. I found my place and now I have motivation. I lost 20 pounds and I made a lot of true friends. I feel like they really care for my achievements.<\/p>\n<p>After I went to conferences and classes at FDF, my attitude changed a lot. Now, I\u2019m more positive and optimist and I will keep going no matter what. I really want to thank the people who make these programs for the family possible (Aerobics, Women Meetings and classes for children).<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Ma.
