James Stewart has revealed his dramatic physical transformation after losing 12kg.
The Home and Away star, 47, shared Instagram photos of himself looking absolutely ripped on Monday alongside a “before” photo of him looking bigger in a loose white T-shirt.
In the “after” photos, James was beaming with pride as he flexed his abs after a workout session while posing shirtless at a gym.
In his caption, he opened up about his weight-loss journey, explaining that he’s struggling to physically “keep up” with his 10-year-old daughter, Scout, who he shares with ex-girlfriend Jessica Marais.
“I weighed 100 kg … now I weigh 88 kg. I was sluggish… wore baggy shirts and didn’t feel good,” the actor admitted.

The photos were followed by a “before” photo of him (left) looking wider in a loose white t-shirt. “I weighed 100 kg … now I weigh 88 kg. I was sluggish… wore baggy shirts and didn’t feel good,” the actor admitted
“What annoyed me the most was not being able to keep up with my kid…now she’s having trouble keeping up with me!” Haha!’
James, who plays Justin Morgan on the Channel Seven soap, also offered some advice for anyone trying to “get in shape” – revealing the progress hasn’t been as easy as it sounds.
“To anyone trying to get in shape, I don’t want to sugarcoat it… Instead of a beer and burger, have a protein shake and a salad… then just put on your sneakers and go work out!” he said.

“Sounds easy … but it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, and I’ve done it twice. Once with the best trainers of all time and this time without… and as fit as I am physically, my mental fitness is my biggest asset.”
‘I feel good in my own skin. A better man, a better husband, a better father,” concluded his post.
Friends and fans alike praised the star for his hard work and dedication.
Just a few weeks ago, Sarah and James posted smitten photos that confirmed they were still very much together after weeks of rumors surrounding their marriage
“Man, that’s such a great achievement. You look healthy and HAPPY,” commented home-away star Georgie Parker.
“Great work, mate. Looking good,” added journalist Steve Pennells.
One fan wrote: “Awww such a beautiful, honest and inspirational post. Well done for the hard work and for sharing your journey…
“I’m sure this will encourage many to try. Good on you.’
James’ post comes after his wife and Home and Away co-star Sarah Roberts was forced to quash rumors the couple had split.
In January, the couple posted smitten photos that confirmed they were still very much together after weeks of speculation their marriage was on the rocks.
The breakup reports surfaced after Stewart, who Roberts married in 2019, was absent from the Melbourne premiere of their latest film, Wog Boys Forever, in October
“I love you baby! … start 2023 with a bang! @smithsresort,” Stewart wrote on Instagram alongside a gallery of snaps from her summer vacation.
Roberts commented under the post, “I can’t get rid of Jimmy; He follows me everywhere in real life.’
The split reports surfaced after Stewart, who Roberts married in 2019, was absent from the Melbourne premiere of their latest film, Wog Boys Forever, in October.
As The Daily Telegraph reported, he was “nowhere to be seen on the red carpet” and apparently stopped following his wife’s Instagram account.
However, Roberts’ agent denied that they had broken up.
Roberts starred on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021 before leaving to focus on her film career.
Stewart is still on the Australian soap opera where he plays Justin Morgan.
He was previously engaged to Packed to the Rafters co-star Marias until their split in 2015.
