Jazz Jennings is celebrating a 70-pound weight loss by sharing beachside a photo of herself wearing a flowing strapless halter top.
The “I Am Jazz” star, 23, posted the pic on Jan. 19 to Instagram, writing, “70 pounds down! Feeling happier and healthier than I’ve been in years. I still have a ways to go, but I’m so proud to finally be taking the necessary steps toward bettering my mind, body, and spirit.”
Jennings’ fans commented to congratulate her on her weight-loss success.
“You look amazing!!! So happy to see you happy and doing well!” wrote one.
“You are beautiful inside and out no matter what size but I do know how good this feels and how happy you are!” wrote someone else.
In June 2021, Jennings opened up on Instagram about suffering from a binge eating disorder, which caused her to gain 100 pounds.
The transgender activist and TLC star posted side-by-side photos of herself, one showing her in a sports bra and black shorts at the time and another that showed her looking slimmer in the past.
The then 20-year-old wrote that she has “gained a substantial amount of weight” as a result of her binge-eating disorder.
“I’m not only addicted to food, but I eat it in large quantities. My binging, along with an increased appetite I experience from some of the meds I’m on, has caused me to gain almost 100 pounds in a little less than 2 years,” she told fans.
Jennings said she posted the photos to “hold myself accountable.”
“I’m ready to change my ways; I’ve been saying I’m ready to turn over a new leaf, but I’m running out of trees now,” she joked. “I’m ready to take the initiative and create positive changes when it comes to my health and body. I have a fabulous team supporting me, both professionals and family/friends, but at the end of the day, I have to be the one committed toward bettering myself. I know I have the power in me to lose the weight, and I intend on sharing my progress with all of you.”
