However, she still had her trademark cheeky grin.

Previously, Jo admitted on social platforms that she was hesitant to discuss her weight loss journey due to her uncertainties about her health and fitness credentials.

Following her initial weight loss, Jo found herself compelled to refute rumors about undergoing weight loss surgery due to negative comments and being called overly thin by Internet bullies.

She mentioned that she’s been losing weight by eliminating unhealthy foods and alcohol, staying physically active, and making use of an electronic device that stimulates muscles.

She expressed, “I’m simply a mother to two lovely kids. What suits my parenting style might not fit yours. I’ve been committed, firm, and mentally striving to be the best I can.

This is how I’m reaching my goals. There’s no surgery or dramatic tale involved. It’s been incredibly tough, both mentally and emotionally. Every day, I crave certain foods, but then I think about my two lovely kids and strive for a higher quality of life for all of us.

Here’s a more conversational way of expressing that: “I’ve given up junk food, cut down on carbs, and reduced my alcohol intake significantly. This marks a shift in my lifestyle. While I’ve managed to shed some pounds, keeping the weight off is proving to be quite challenging.

In 2020, she stated, “People have been telling me to stop losing weight, but it’s actually been around four months since I last shed any pounds. Instead, I’ve been focusing on toning my body.

As a devoted enthusiast, I’d like to share my personal experience: The ketogenic diet played an instrumental role in helping me shed approximately 20 kilograms and achieve my ideal weight. However, during that period, I chose not to advocate for it publicly as I am not a professional dietitian.

The idea behind the ‘keto diet’ is to induce a metabolic condition called ketosis within your body, which increases the level of ketones in your bloodstream, leading your body to use fat instead of carbs as its primary source of energy.

In the year 2019, Jo pointed out that giving up energy drinks and unhealthy snacks played a significant role in her successful weight loss journey.

She clarified that the only change she made was planning her meals more carefully. Specifically, she eliminated junk food, soft drinks, and energy drinks like Mother from her diet.

As someone who’s journeyed from a size 22 down to a more comfortable size 8, I can confidently say that my health was the driving force behind my commitment to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Having witnessed my mother’s illness, I didn’t desire a similar fate for myself. I aimed to stay alive for my children, to play with them and give them the best possible motherhood I could,” she expressed.

On the show, Jo was teamed up with Sean Donnelly, but their relationship didn’t last long due to the fact that he couldn’t develop feelings for his newlywed partner.
