James and Ola Jordan explained the motivation behind their incredible weight loss in an honest new video.
The couple said they had a 'wake-up call' after sharing an 'unflattering' photo of themselves in swimsuits in the summer.
Fans were in awe over their results and asked the two how they achieved so much in only a few months.
After taking notice of the interest, the couple took to social media to explain the weight loss journey and how they reached their goals.
"We've come on here today just to have a little chat with you, because so many people have commented and noticed that myself and Ola have lost a considerable amount of weight, which we have and we're very proud of and very happy about it," James, 44, began as the two sat on the couch.
"Since Ola posted that unflattering picture back in the summer, we have both shifted a lot of timber."
Ola, 40, continued: "I think we both needed that wake-up call and realisation where we'd got ourselves to.
"We needed to change our ways and be healthy for Ella. We needed to keep healthy for her."
James added: "Because we were unhealthy. We went to the doctor and were both told we were in the obese category.
"Which for us as professional dancers, to be told that you're obese wasn't very nice."
Ola said it was a 'hard pill' for them to swallow.
James then acknowledged all the messages he received from people in 'similar positions' and went on to explain the changes.
They started exercising more, watching what they eat as well as controlling their portion sizes.
Ola revealed: "We still have our treats and still eat what we want but essentially you have to look at the whole picture."
"We've found a really fun way to lose weight," added James at the end of the video. They then told followers to comment if they wanted to find out more.

Ola previously expressed her disappointment in her weight gain and said she posted the poolside photo of them with 'mum and dad bods' as a way to motivate herself.
She said: "We know we're not in our best Strictly 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’ excuse).
"Stay cool everyone. I think I need to avoid the ice cream for a while! Couples That Eat Together Stay Together."
Ola left Strictly in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Ella to the world in 2020 via C-section.
