I lost weight and lost my husband
Jolene Kellykelly’s journey to Ninja Warriwarrior has been somewhat of a rollercoaster – not only in terms of her fitness, bubut in her personal life, too. The 28-yeyear-old exercise fanatic from Melbourne lost 25kg over a ttwo-year period, and she admadmits she finally feels happy wwith the person she is today. “Before I lolost the weight I wasn’t the bestb version of me,” she tells Woman’s Day. Jolene – wwho at her heaviest weighed 78kg – also says losing weight proved the wake-up call she needed too divorce her then husband.
“It made me realise we were going in different directions. He probably does blame fitness and
Ninja Warrior for pulling mee away from him, but I just couldn’t be the wife he wanted or deserved.
“I’m a different person now to the person he married. I’ve become everything I wanted to be.””
