Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Ola Jordan, 40, has documented her remarkable 3.5-stone weight loss over five months in a series of Instagram posts. The dancer, who shares daughter Ella with husband James Jordan, 44, shared a 15-second video montage showing her gradual transformation, with her smile widening as the pounds dropped off.
In the clip, Ola appears in various stages of her journey, from holding her newborn in a walk-in wardrobe mirror to posing poolside in a black bikini with gold detailing. She also shared side-on shots and a rear view to highlight the dramatic change. The video culminates in a recent image of her in a bright pink bikini, showcasing her toned physique.
Ola credited her success to consistency and help from dietician Jo Travers, who taught her that 'carbs are not the enemy.' She admitted to previous fluctuations, getting motivated for a few weeks before falling off the wagon, but ultimately found a sustainable approach. She encouraged followers to document their progress with photos, saying it 'really helps you see how far you’ve come.'
In a heartfelt caption, Ola wrote: 'I thought the old me had gone forever and I'd just have to accept that I'd never get back to how I was. I'd stopped dancing, had a baby and basically was just eating way too much. But one day I woke up and decided I'd had enough of feeling down about it. Enough of hiding in baggy clothes. And pretending I didn't care.'
Husband James re-shared the clip, gushing that he 'loved her then' and 'loves her now.' Ola's journey has inspired her 320,000 Instagram followers, many of whom praised her dedication and honesty.
