Many celebrities lose weight because they have the resources to make their goals a reality, and then many of those same celebrities gain it all back, e.g., Johan Hill. But when Jordy shed the pounds more than a year ago, she made lifestyle changes and she’s been fit ever since! She covers Shape magazine wearing nothing but a bikini. Years ago, I doubt she ever thought that would happen!

On deciding to lose weight: “I just wanted to be healthy. I remember thinking, ‘I’m in my prime. I should be happy and fit.’ That was the moment I decided that changes needed to be made.”

On the challenges  she faced: “I knew I had a long road ahead of me. I was barely working out, and my diet was a mess. I had to address when, what, and how much I was eating.”

On seeing results after eating smaller portions and exercising: “The weight really started falling off, and I could see my muscles. It was awesome.”
