The couple revealed matching six packs in the after shots and flashed huge smiles.
Speaking about how they did it, they joked on Instagram: "Hey watch us lose 6 1/2 Stone in 6 seconds! 😱😂
"It took a bit longer than that in reality - four months in total. Although the first two weeks were quite dramatic.
"We lost 2 Stone between us in a fortnight. Pretty crazy eh?! But we had a lot to lose and you always lose more in the first couple of weeks.
"If you want to follow the plan we used to do it - it’s a LOT of fun! - just click on the links in our bios or go to danceshred.co.uk 💃🕺"
The pair previously admitted they were doing it to improve their health and for their daughter Ella.
But they couple urged their fans to "indulge" over the festive season and burn it off later.
They gave fans a glimpse of their slimmer figure while joined by their daughter Ella, two, in front of the tree.

James said: "Our Christmas message to you is indulge as much as you want, don't feel guilty, eat everything, isn't it Ella?
"Eat the Christmas pudding, eat the chocolates have extra stuffing, have a drink, a nice Bailey's why not. Because tomorrow we are going to help you sort it all out."
The duo told how they were horrified to discover they were in the “obese category” so vowed to get back on track following the birth of their daughter Ella in 2020.
James explained: “We've come on here today just to have a little chat with you, because so many people have commented and noticed that myself and Ola have lost a considerable amount of weight, which we have and we're very proud of it.
Ola added: “I think we both needed that wake up call and realisation where we'd got ourselves to. We needed to change our ways and be healthy for Ella.”
James continued: “Because we were unhealthy. We went to the doctor and were both told we were in the obese category.
“Which for us as professional dancers, to be told that you're obese wasn't very nice.”
Ola admitted: “It's a hard pill to swallow.”
Explaining what they did to shed the pounds, James said: “It is hard and we were stuck there a very long time. We had to change something, which we did. We had to start moving more, exercising more and change our diet.”

They revealed it was a mixture of exercise and diet, with Ola adding: “We still have our treats and still eat what we want but essentially you have to look at the whole picture.”
Ola and James are now excited to get back on the dance floor and returned to do a show last weekend.
