After Losing 68 Lbs this Canadian 75-Year-Old ball of energy rocketed herself to be the biggest fitness Influencer.
On heavy medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol, at 70 years old and 198 lbs Joan MacDonald went on a life-changing journey. Now Joan has over 1.5 million followers and a very successful fitness app and uses her story to encourage millions to follow in her footsteps. More importantly, Joan’s message is to make us all realize that there is no excuse as long as we have the will.
“I was really huffing and puffing climbing up and down the stairs,” MacDonald told MSNBC. “My daughter got really, really concerned. She thought that if she wanted me around, she’d better intervene.”
At 75 years old and being a social media sensation would have been out of reach to so many people but her drive and commitment
“I guess because I was so late getting to use an iPhone, I didn’t realize these apps are how people communicate,” Joan, who now also has a YouTube channel and fitness app, told MSNBC.
