Jax Taylor is losing weight and looking great.

After both he and girlfriend Brittany Cartwright faced criticism due to their weight gain last year, the couple began hitting the gym and in a new Instagram photo, Taylor is showing off his impressive physique after losing 25 pounds.

"Thanks to the trainers @sweatgarage I've lost 25 pounds and I have 5lbs to go 'my goal is 195' Couldn't have done it with out you guys!!!" he wrote on Instagram on Thursday. "I feel like my old self again, Thank you so much!! Also thanks to the boys @howieshockeytape for my shirt, I love it!! Have a great night everyone!! #sweatyfriends #fitness #sweatgarage #jaxandbrittanytakekentucky #pumprules."

Taylor and Cartwright wrapped filming on Vanderpump Rules months ago and quickly began filming for their upcoming spinoff series, Vanderpump Rules: Jax and Brittany Take Kentucky, which will premiere sometime next month.

During the show, Taylor and Cartwright will be seen meeting with Cartwright's family and possibly preparing to take the next step in their relationship.

Although Taylor was previously hesitant to speak of the idea of marriage, he admitted he was warming up to the idea during an interview with The Daily Dish in November.

"Before Brittany, I was not about marriage. It was not going to happen for me. I didn't believe in marriage. Not because I didn't love Brittany, I just didn't believe in marriage. It just wasn't for me," he said. "As time progresses, I'm starting to open my mind about it a little bit more because I do love her and that's something she wants. And I'm willing to bring the idea back. We'll see. I just hate divorce. I hate it. I've done a lot of things in my life, it's just kind of the one box I don't want to check off that I've done."
