Ola Jordan admits she ‘didn’t know’ if she would manage incredible 3.5stone weight loss

She has been sharing before and after weight loss photos on social media while promoting her new health and fitness website.

And Ola Jordan once again showed off her 3.5 stone loss in a new comparison video that showed her strutting around in the same bikini before and after the loss.

The 40-year-old professional dancer shared the video with her 321,000 followers and admitted she “didn’t know” if she would ever make it to the finish line.

Ola walked towards the camera in the first shot, which was before the weight loss and was taken in front of a luxurious swimming pool.

The video then switched to after the loss, where her abs were noticeably defined as she showed off the transformation in the same outfit.

She underwent the crush with her husband James, as the couple boast a combined weight loss of 6.5 stone.

And explaining that it wasn’t always clear that they would make it, he took the caption to reflect and push his new brand.

She began: ‘Who needs some motivation right now? This is a really good first step, and no one ever needs to see it…

“We took a lot of photos and videos of ourselves when we decided we needed a kick in the butt to get in shape. People say, oh, that was brave of you, but to be honest, we didn’t know if we would ever make it to that end goal.

‘So the worst that can happen is that you have a lot of unflattering photos of yourself hiding on your phone! But, if you make it the first step in your fitness journey, it can be a very powerful motivator. So if you get to where you want to be, it’s very satisfying when you look back and see how far you’ve come.

Earlier this week, Ola showed off the loss in the same bikini with a few shots from a different angle, admitting that even she was shocked.

Taking to Instagram, he wrote: ‘Wow, sometimes the difference even amazes me! Who is that woman on the left?

“I’m sharing this not to brag, but as New Year’s inspiration for anyone who feels like they’d like to make a change and doesn’t know where to start.

It’s hard to do it alone. We had each other, plus the help of an amazing dietitian. Plus, with our growing Dance Shred community, everyone helps each other out.’

She continued: ‘There’s a private Facebook group and the support there is amazing. People creating their own WhatsApp groups and all!

‘So come join the party guys: learn to dance with us, get fit and lose some weight.’

The post comes just days after Ola donned a green bikini, five months after that. ‘unflattering’ holiday husband James.

The ballerina looked sensational in a two-piece as she showed off her new toned figure in comparison snaps on Instagram.

The former Strictly Come Dancing pro has rebounded with her husband James and they’ve been flaunting their combined 6.5 stone weight loss after gaining weight following the birth of daughter Ella, their only child, in 2020.

Ola previously admitted she was “appalled” and “disappointed” by what she perceived to be her “mommy body” after sharing an unflattering photo from the holiday with her Instagram followers in July.

In the before and after video, Ola could be seen in the same swimsuit showing off her transformation while striking the same pose.

The husband and wife duo have yet to launch their ‘Dance shred’ show, which is in a 12-week format with a diet plan and fun cardio dance routines.

She wrote in the caption: ‘I can’t believe it was me a few months ago! As you know, I was not happy, although I tried to pretend that I was.

‘All I can say is that these days I don’t turn down invitations to go out anymore. My confidence is at the next level now. ❤️

‘If you fancy starting your own fitness journey, we can help. Our plan is also nice: it is a mixture of dance and simple exercises.

‘Just click the link in our bio. We have a great early bird offer for the first 1000 people to sign up for our plan, so check it out, before it flies away!’

In July, Ola admitted she was horrified by her weight after sharing a vacation photo with her followers.

Captioning the picture, in which she posed with her husband in a bikini, she wrote: “Hey guys I wasn’t going to post this picture but decided to because I’m horrified and so disappointed in myself and posting I hope it helps motivate me to do something about it.

“Our friend took this photo of us yesterday trying to keep cool by the pool but omg…it was a total shock to say the least! When did we get ‘bodies of mom and dad’????

“We know we’re not in our strict best, but hey, that’s what happens when you stop dancing for hours every day and have a baby (I just want to know James’ excuse)

‘Keep calm everyone. I think I need to avoid ice cream for a while! Couples who eat together stay together.’

Speaking about how his weight gain has affected his love life, James admitted that sex with his wife “definitely isn’t better with mom and dad’s bodies” while Ola confessed that gaining three stones has made his love life more difficult. “worse”.

Ola said he used to weigh 8 and now weighs 11½, while former dancer James got 5 and weighs 16.

She told The Sun: “Sex life is definitely different, if not worse, because we’re so fat and we don’t want to move behind a bag of chips and a Chinese.”

“Tummies get in the way when it comes to sex and now I’m a little heavy. It’s not that exciting.

James added: “Sex is definitely not better with mum and dad’s bodies, I can’t throw her around anymore like I used to.”

The couple, who played Strictly Professional from 2006 to 2013, tied the knot in 2003 and welcomed their first daughter, Ella, in 2020.

She, now two, was conceived after one round of IVF, with Ola and James previously being incredibly open about their battle to conceive.

She told The Sun: “You don’t think you’re going to have to go through IVF until it’s not going on for a long time and you say ‘there’s a problem there, we have to look into it’.”

So I guess I’d give it a try first. But then we had a career, we did things, we were busy. I guess you’re never ready, but I definitely would have (tried before) if I knew she was going to have trouble getting pregnant.”
