Thank you How would you do that if you don't have the support of a daughter? The news had a train?
You look amazing!!!
Inspiring. I wonder if she ever took hormones during menopause.
Coming up on my 53rd birthday, weighing in at 207…my journey starts NOW. Thank you for this beautiful inspiration.
Thank you – got loads of encouragement x
I’m 54 year old woman, suffering all kind of disorders. I use to feel no hope for my later years. The day I saw your videos everything changed. Mrs. Joan, you are an inspiration! 👏💪
How did you go from 182 to 146? Do you spell it out in another video? Just started following.ty😊 impressive. I have shared your Instagram posts before.❤😊
Oh, My Goodness!!! You are Fantastic!!!!
I'm in tears right now because I feel more hope, also facing the reality of the journey to come.
I have been increasingly exhausted for a decade.
I'm not 40 yet, but my health is terrible. Recently I thought I was losing weight (no scale, just how I look in clothing, felt I can lift more etc), but I did notice I'm having more joint pain and more out of breath.
I had to find out I'm obese and have high blood pressure on my own reviewing my doctor's notes. We talked a while in the visit and not once was weight mentioned, I brought up issues with my gut and when I mentioned that I don't eat as well as I should I got a "at least you know." And I didn't! Lol I thought "not AS well, but I'm doing pretty good, I only eat poorly a few times a week." I wish I would've been told outright that I'm clinically obese and HBP. I heard doctors are trained not to in case of "fat shaming" which is awful. Obesity leads to so many other health issues!!!! 😢
I grew up skinny fat. My dad wasn't allowed around much but he's one of the healthiest in the family. I was one of the most fit in my company in the Army, which is sad. So I was insulted when I came home from injury, and my dad told me I need to work out more. " I was consistently in the top three women and beat a lot of men in running, and in push ups, etc! I'm in GREAT shape!"
I wasn't. I was still not working out much, unless made to so after the military I quickly gained. Also not able to afford fresh food and no idea how to cook healthy food for myself on a budget etc.
Getting pregnant brought unexpected health challenges, my body had unusual reactions. I am so thankful for my children but now I worry I won't be around for them as long as I wish. It's been such a slippery slope.
I've been learning not to compare myself to others (with an obesity problem in the country it's been easy to tell myself I'm doing well). To get better sleep (this can increase weight gain by 35 pounds vs someone who gets good sleep), and to stress less! Eating well might not be fun or taste good but neither is/does dying earlier or not being able to do much. I'm so thankful God made this woman in the video and others like her! I'm inspired. ❤
Thank you for inspiring me. Subbed ❤
God bless you, Mrs. Joan… I grabbed my phone and typed "exercise motivation for my 71 year old mother," and this is the first video that came up… I clicked the video, and here I am leaving this comment… My mother is 71 and needs motivation and inspiration to get going… So I'll send this to her now! Thank you Mrs. Joan! Bless you and Stay young Forever! 🙏
She hip thrusts more than I can squat. I love this grandma

Hi Joan downloaded your app for beginner. Where do we find your meal plan though. Tk u so much.
It is good to see vigorous people who decide to do activities that at an age are usually difficult. They give importance to each day with their routine.
