‘In case you needed a reminder': Jelena Dokic flashes toned stomach in latest snap after Logie nomination
Jelena Dokic has responded to critics questioning her 'sudden' weight loss transformation after showing off her stunning figure in a new selfie.
Dokic, 42, has publicly chronicled her weight loss journey after dropping about 20 kilos thanks to diet and lifestyle changes.
On Tuesday, Dokic shared a new selfie in an elevator and showed off her impressively toned stomach.
In the caption, the retired tennis star encouraged her followers to 'go after what you want' and 'never give up'.
'In case you needed a reminder,' she wrote.
'Keep going.
'Go after what you want.
'Fight for your goals and dreams.
'Be persistent, patient, courageous, strong and never give up.
'If you fall, get back up more powerful.
'It doesn't matter if you fall, fail, lose or make mistakes as long as you get back up and not give up.
'Never give up on yourself.
'Period.'
Dokic's loyal fans flooded the tennis ace's comment section with support, while a few armchair critics took aim at Dokic.
One commenter asked if Dokic had undergone medical intervention, such as a gastric sleeve or bypass, to achieve her 'sudden' weight loss.
'Suddenly? You mean 3 years,' the former world no. 4 fired back in the comment section.
'Magic? Yes magic 6 am gym sessions and healthy eating even when working 18 hour days.'
Dokic replied to another commenter who expressed doubts about her weight loss amid the rise of injectable GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro.
'Exercise and working so hard to get healthy,' Dokic wrote in response.
'6 am gym sessions and eating healthy even when I work 18 hour days.
'But thank you for the assumptions that had nothing to do with the truth.'
The Aussie tennis star reached a peak of World No. 4 during her glittering career, including a quarter final appearance at the French Open in 2002.
Later this month, Dokic will commentate on the iconic Wimbledon tennis tournament, the same event where she reached the semi final in 2000 at just 16 years old.
Dokic's new snap comes after the beloved tennis star was nominated for her first ever Logie award for the Channel 9 documentary Unbreakable about her turbulent life on and off the court.
In the doc, Dokic harrowingly detailed her father and coach Damir Dokic's alleged physical, emotional and financial abuse, which allegedly occurred regularly throughout her childhood and during her professional career.
Ultimately, Dokic cut ties with her father and completely rebooted her career.
In 2009, Dokic enjoyed an unforgettable run at the Australian Open after entering the draw as a wildcard and ultimately advancing all the way to the quarter finals.
She retired from professional tennis in 2014 and is now an in-demand commentator for all four grand slams on Channel 9.

What to Watch: Stranded On Honeymoon Island, Joh: Last King Of Queensland, The Bear, Ironheart & Squid Game
Let's face it, our attention spans are getting shorter and shorter, and in this stacked TV landscape, it's taking increasingly wild reality formats to gain — and hold — our interest. Enter: Stranded On Honeymoon Island! As formats go, this one's an absolute doozy. It sees 12 Aussie singles paired up after a speed-dating event and packed off to marry one another. Not long after saying 'I do' they are turfed overboard (still in their wedding attire) from a boat floating somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, and must swim to a deserted tropical island — their home for the next 21 days! Yep — they are literally 'stranded on Honeymoon Island' . . . get it? 'Laying bare their past, stripping away emotional baggage and facing their fears head-on with nothing left to lose, they're about to take the biggest leap of their lives,' says an official release. Sign us up! Every few days a mysterious crate washes ashore, containing news from home, memories and games designed to help connect the couples with each other and the others also doing the experiment on nearby islands. They gather at Couples Cove regularly to discuss how things are going, and you know the tea will be spilt. If you've read this far and aren't immediately excited for this 'Survivor meets MAFS' concept, then this show is most definitely not for you. But for the rest of us — see you on the island! This feature-length doco sees actor Richard Roxburgh bring to life one of Australia's most controversial leaders. His dramatised scenes, directed by Kriv Stenders, are woven throughout the film, which takes a look at the divisive politician's life and time in office. Roxburgh gives a stunning performance, and for anyone with even a passing interest in this controversial figure, there will be much to absorb. Bjelke-Petersen is a towering presence in Aussie political history. One for history buffs and politics junkies alike. Based on the Marvel character of the same name, this miniseries is the 14th TV iteration of a comic book character from the Cinematic Universe — keeping up? This one's all about MIT student Riri Williams, who returns to Chicago after the events chronicled in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Dominique Thorne reprises her role from that film, and this is all about how her character gets mixed up with Parker Robbins/The Hood. If you are a Marvel fan, you'll know what that means. One for fans. The clock is ticking for Carmy and the crew to make things work at The Bear. But as we check back in with them for a fourth season, things are on a knife edge. If you've seen the trailers you'll know that Uncle Jimmy is turning the screws on them financially, and they'll need to band together to weather the storm. But is that even possible? There is a LOT of water under that particular bridge. I'm fascinated to see where they take us this season — here's hoping it isn't the show's last. To say this series has been a worldwide hit would be doing it a gross disservice — it's been nothing short of a global phenomenon. This third season is its last, and fans are eagerly awaiting the series drop (all episodes land at once), to find out how the disturbing story ends. Something tells us it's going to be nothing short of epic as Gi-hun (Player 456, played by Lee Jung-jae) and Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) square off one final time. This one's big — do not miss it.

Lizzo reveals secret to her slimdown — and finally sets the record straight on Ozempic use
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. It's about damn time. Lizzo has spoken about her weight loss journey - and clarified her Ozempic use - months after clapping back at rumours about the drug. 'I've tried everything,' the singer, 37, said on Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast on Thursday, per Page Six. The Grammy winner explained however that she abandoned the semaglutide, which has not been approved for use for weight loss in Australia, early into her journey. 'Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full,' she said. 'But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' Ozempic is also associated with a number of side-effects including most commonly gastrointestinal disorders like nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting, in a way that doctor-approved changes to diet and exercise are not. Lizzo opened up about her recent body transformation. Picture: Instagram She spoke candidly about losing weight. Picture: Instagram Lizzo revealed that she saw the best results when she ditched her vegan diet. 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full,' she recalled. 'When I started actually eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that [weren't] actually filling me up,' the songwriter continued. She said she tried 'everything' throughout her weight loss journey. Picture: Instagram Performing at the Brit Awards in 2020. Picture:She went on to defend those who use weightloss drugs. 'It's not easy,' Lizzo insisted. 'It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with.' She added that 'telling someone they're cheating' is a 'way of being fatphobic.' According to the TGA in Australia, 'Ozempic has been included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This means that the medicine has been evaluated by the TGA for its safety, quality and efficacy for that indication only.' Lizzo made headlines in September 2024 for hitting back at an Instagram hater questioning whether she was taking the type II diabetes drug. 'Whyyyy [sic] do u follow me?' she asked at the time. The following year, Lizzo explained that she had, instead, applied 'a calorie deficit' and cut 'sugary stuff' from her diet. 'Everybody's body is different,' she reminded her social media followers in April. 'Find out what works for you.' This article originally appeared in Page Six and was reproduced with permission.
