‘Look at you… just gorgeous,’ one fan wrote and a second added: ‘Wow!’ 

The Australian tennis champion has been sharing her weight-loss journey with her fans over the past few months.  

In March, the Nine commentator shared a side-by-side image that showed before and after her weight loss.

Captioning the photo, Jelena offered an inspirational sentiment about body positivity.

‘What is the difference between the two images??? Nothing except what you see on the outside. My BODY SIZE,’ she began.

‘I am the same hardworking person, respectful, generous, empathetic, compassionate, humble, kind, driven, strong, resilient, capable and loving person, woman and friend.

‘What really matters is not different.’

Continuing, Jelena urged her followers to look beyond the superficial and not judge people based on their size.

Jelena recently revealed she has lost 20kg in 10 months after living with an eating disorder for two decades 

‘Never judge anyone by their size or outside appearance but instead appreciate and focus on what is on the inside,’ Jelena wrote.

‘Beauty has nothing to do with looks. It’s how you are as a person. It’s how you make others feel especially about themselves.

‘No beauty shines brighter than that of a kind heart. Let your eyes see souls and not bodies. And never body shame anyone.’

Jelena recently revealed she had lost 20kg in 10 months after living with an eating disorder for two decades.

Taking to Instagram in June, the commentator shared a post comparing her current appearance with how she looked back in 2023.

In the caption, she stressed that she was happy in both pictures, adding that weight loss was not the goal but simply a ‘byproduct’ of adopting healthier habits.

‘This is about HEALTH and not SIZE,’ she continued. ‘So many questions about me getting healthier, which has seen me lose weight. Weight loss was not a priority; it’s a byproduct of looking after my health.’

Addressing those who accused her of crash-dieting, Jelena went on to clarify: ‘I didn’t lose weight quickly. I lost 20 kilos in just under 10 months. Nothing fast.’

Jelena explained she had lost the weight because of ‘a family history of diabetes’ and the fact she had recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure.

She also revealed how she did it: ‘I stopped eating late at night especially things like burgers, pizza, fries and desserts. They made me feel so sluggish when I would wake up.
