Vanderpump Rules’ Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor slim down for the big day.

The Vanderpump Rules lovebirds drop a combined 67 pounds in preparatio­n for their June wedding

-

The couple that loses weight together, stays together! Since their engagement in June 2018, Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright have been watching what they eat and killing it in the gym. To date, they’ve dropped a combined 67 pounds (she’s down 25 pounds, he’s lost 42). “We’re ready to be our best us yet for the wedding,” says Brittany,

who’s set to say “I do” to her modelturne­d-bartender beau in her native Kentucky this summer. “It’s going to be a perfect day.”

Brittany and Jax admit they weren’t in the best shape before embarking on their joint fitness journey. “I was feeling pretty down about myself,” says Brittany, 30. Jax says seeing a bigger version of himself on TV was a wake-up call. “I looked disgusting,” he says of tipping the scales at 235 pounds. So they swore off junk food and embraced healthier eating habits. “I’m doing salads and cooking a lot of baked chicken and vegetables,” says SUR waitress Brittany. Jax, 39, mainly sticks to rotisserie chicken, steak and brown rice. For both, heavy alcohol conoccasio­nally allowed. “I have them in moderation now,” says Brittany.

The couple — who met in 2015 in Las Vegas — have been motivating each other in the gym, too. Brittany swears by interval training and running (her treadmill mantra is “wedding, wedding, wedding!”). Jax combines high-intensity workouts with weight-lifting sessions. “He’s a great gym partner,” gushes Brittany, “and his dedication is sexy!”

As the big day draws closer, they say they’re as ready as can be. And, after many ups and downs, they’re feeling closer than ever. “I’m so proud of Jax,” says Brittany, “and it’s been so great having someone by my side helping me through this journey.”
