5/5 Donna U. 3 years ago on Google
I
joined
BBF
in
August
this
year
when
we
came
out
of
Covid
lockdown,
after
seeing
the
advert
on
Facebook.
I
completed
the
form
and
received
a
call
from
Kate.
We
had
a
long
discussion
about
me.
Where
I
was
at
all
he
moment
in
Mental
and
health
state.
It
was
strange
telly
no
someone
that
I
am
53
and
my
weight
was
the
heaviest
it
had
ever
been.
Then
realising
I
actually
haven’t
done
anything
for
me
in
a
while.
I
signed
up
there
and
then
for
the
21
daykick
start
plan.
Well
needless
to
say
I
stayed.
Yes
some
people
might
say
it’s
expensive,
and
I
have
been
a
member
at
several
other
gyms.
Probably
the
only
other
one
i
stayed
the
longest
was
were
I
started
hot
yoga.
I
left
as
everything
was
in
the
hot
room.
I
stopped
enjoying
this
when
I
became
menopausal,
and
was
literally
being
sick
after
every
class
because
of
the
heat,
so
I
had
to
bow
out.
I’ve
had
a
personal
trainer
which
in
the
end
was
not
about
what
I
wanted.
I
didn’t
want
to
lifting
heavy
weights;
even
though
I
was
being
told
I
should
be
lifting
heavier
as
id
been
doing
it
a
while.
That
I
also
felt
a
failure
because
it
wasn’t
showing
on
the
scales
even
though
if
dropped
2
dress
sizes.
I
dreaded
my
Sunday
morning
message
asking
me
to
weigh
in.
I
did
also
used
to
pay
£45
a
month
for
DW;
which
I
may
add
I
absolutely
hated
and
it
felt
like
a
chore
going.
I
could
never
get
on
a
class,
it
was
very
clicky
and
competitive.
Anyway
getting
back
to
now.
So
I
joined
BBF,
yes
I
was
so
nervous
turning
up
for
the
first
time,
but
doesn’t
everyone
feel
one
that.
I
could
not
have
been
met
with
more
warmth
and
support
on
that
day.
The
coaches
are
just
brilliant,
they
make
it
fun
without
losing
their
professionalism.
The
classes
are
well
planned
out
and
keep
me
focused
as
well
as
enjoyable.
I
love
that
was
are
all
over
the
age
of
30,
no
one
judges
each
other
as
we
are
all
on
our
own
journey.
I
loved
the
outdoor
sessions
in
the
summer,
there
is
something
about
exercising
outside.
Everyone
goes
at
the
own
pace,
we
are
all
on
our
own
journey,
no
one
judges.
We
are
all
different
ages
and
sizes
and
I
admire
every
single
one
of
them.
The
support
is
something
like
I
really
have
never
experienced;
yes
that
sounds
clechae,
but
it’s
true.
I
love
that
the
classes
are
varied
and
the
only
place
that
I’ve
been,
that
tackles
the
places
on
the
body
that
we
women
struggle
with
in
later
life.
I
can
honestly
say
that
when
we
went
into
the
second
Covid
lockdown,
I
was
absolutely
devastated.
I
dreaded
the
whole
zoom
thing.
How
wrong
I
was.
I
was
blown
away
with
how
this
made
us
come
together
more.
The
classes
were
brilliant,
and
I
really
believe
this
was
my
turning
point.
I
literally
put
everything
I
could
into
it.
There
is
always
something
to
keep
us
engaged
in
group
on
the
Facebook
page.
I
am
starting
to
see
the
rewards
of
my
hard
work
and
support
from
the
coaches
and
the
group.
I
can’t
wait
to
see
what
2021
brings.
I’m
so
glad
I
took
the
time
to
complete
the
form
and
join
BBF.
I’m
starting
to
feel
more
love
me
me
again.
