Ola Jordan admits she “didn’t know” if she could handle the incredible weight loss of 3.5 stone

She shares before and after weight loss photos on social media as she promotes her new health and fitness website.

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

The professional dancer, 40, shared the video with her 321,000 followers and admitted she ‘didn’t know’ if she would ever reach the ultimate goal.

Ola walked towards the camera in the first shot, which was pre-weight loss and was shot in front of a lavish 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 went through the shred with husband James, as the couple can boast a combined weight loss of 6.5 stone.

And while she explained that it wasn’t always clear they would make it, she took the caption to reflect and boost her new brand.

She began, “Who needs some motivation right now? Here’s a really good first step – and no one ever has to see it…

“We took a lot of pictures 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 reach that end goal.

So the worst that can happen is you have a bunch of unflattering pictures of yourself stashed away on your phone! But – if you take that as a first step on your fitness journey, it can be a very powerful motivator. Then when you get to where you want to be, it’s so 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 some shots from a different angle, admitting even she was shocked.

She took to Instagram and wrote, “Wow sometimes the difference even shocks me! Who is that woman on the left?!

I’m not sharing this to show off, but as New Year’s inspiration for anyone who feels like making a change and doesn’t know where to start.

“It’s hard to do it alone. We had each other – plus help from a great dietitian. Also with our growing Dance Shred community everyone helps each other.’

She continued, “There is a private Facebook group and the support there is incredible. People setting up their own WhatsApp groups and stuff!

“So join the party boys – learn to dance with us, get fit and lose some weight.”

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

The dancer looked sensational in the two-piece as she showed off her new toned figure in comparison photos on Instagram.

The former Strictly Come Dancing professional has bounced back into shape with husband James and they are showing off their combined weight loss of 6.5 stone after gaining weight following the birth of daughter Ella, their only child, in 2020.

Ola previously admitted she was “shocked” and “disappointed” with what she considered her “maternal body” after sharing an unflattering holiday photo to Instagram followers in July.

In the before and after video, Ola was seen in the same swimwear showing off her transformation while striking the same pose.

The husband and wife duo have not released their “Dance Shred” program, a 12-week program that includes a diet plan and fun cardio dance routines.

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

“All I can say is that I don’t turn down invitations to go out these days. My confidence is just next level now.

“If you’re excited to start your own fitness journey, we can help.” Our plan is actually fun too – it’s a mix of dance and simple exercises.

“Just click the link in our bios. We’re running a great Early Bird offer for the first 1,000 people who sign up for our plan, so check it out – before it flies away!’

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

Captioning the photo, in which she posed next to her husband in a bikini, she wrote: “Hi guys I wasn’t planning to post this picture but I’ve decided to do it because I’m shocked and so disappointed in myself and by it post I hope it will motivate me to do something about it.

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

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

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

Speaking about how her weight gain has affected their love life, James admitted that having sex with his wife “definitely isn’t better with mom and dad bods,” while Ola confessed that gaining three stone has made her love life “worse.”

Ola said she used to weigh 8th and now weighs 11½ths, while former dancer James was 5th and weighs 16th.

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

“The bellies get in our way when it comes to sex and I’m a little heavy right now. It’s not that exciting.’

James added: “Sex definitely isn’t any better with Mum and Dad’s bodies, I can’t swing her around like I used to.”

The couple – who played as a Strictly professional from 2006 to 2013 – tied the knot in 2003 and welcomed their first child Ella together in 2020.

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

She told The Sun: ‘You don’t think you should have IVF until it hasn’t happened for a long time and you say ‘there’s a problem, we need to look into it’.

So I think I’d try it sooner. But then we had careers, we were doing things, we were busy. I suppose you’re never ready, but I sure would (tried before) if I knew I’d have trouble getting pregnant.”
