Most of us agree that age is just a number. But few people cause as much excitement at their age as Joan MacDonald. She’s long past the age of 70 and felt it was time to change her life. Many have surely felt it at some point in their life, but Joan truly embraced this feeling. These days, she astonishes everyone she meets with her amazing presence and incredible super body. At some point in life, we can probably all relate to wanting to change something. It could be about a new job, a new hairstyle, a new city, or why not – a completely new body. But not all of us choose to act on this feeling and actually change what bothers us. All too often, it’s easier to stay where you are than to move forward. 76-year-old Joan MacDonald can proudly say that she is not one of those who did nothing about her situation. When she was 70, Joan felt it was time for a drastic change. After seeing a doctor, she decided it was time. She would start taking control and look the way she always wanted. Her blood pressure was high, as was her cholesterol level, and the medications she was taking for ailments were further unbalancing her body. Joan was 71 years old when she took the first step towards a healthier life. She would get her values in order and lose a few pounds in the process. And you can say that Joan has truly undergone a big transformation.
Years later, showcasing super body
She completely turned her life around and stopped doing useless things.
She quit sugar and replaced it with more fruits and vegetables.
Then she started exercising more, and as the pounds melted away, her interest in fitness grew.
And the great health journey has been extensively documented on social media.
Today, Joan is 76 years old and very happy with her new super body, with over a million people following her journey.
“It’s been over five years since I started my health journey, and in this video I wanted to share some of my experiences with you,” Joan shared in a clip on her Instagram.
Praised on social media
Joan’s followers were deeply moved to hear about the progress she has made, both inside and out, and praised her for sharing her story.
One person wrote: “Your photos bring me to tears (in a good way). Your beautiful story is always in the back of my mind during the days and inspires me to know that the results of aging are not as inevitable as we imagine and that there is always more to look forward to on our journey.”
