Jazz Jennings is “almost 100 pounds lighter” and ready to celebrate.
After publicly vowing to focus on her health two years ago, The “I am Jazz” star proved the power of her commitment as she showed off her impressive weight loss via Instagram on Tuesday.
“I’m so proud of my progress and want to thank my family, friends and all who supported me in getting there,” Jennings captioned her transformation reel.
In the video, Jennings showed the before and after of her workout experience. In one clip, Jennings can be seen struggling to run without losing her breath and resting against a wall as she attempts to get in shape.
“Good health is not a certificate you display, it is a constant effort! I still have room for improvement, but I am more motivated and inspired than I’ve been in years. Let’s keep it going!”
The transgender activist added, “I’m proud of my progress toward better health, but I’m still running towards more goals!”
Jennings’ weight gain became a larger topic in Season 7 of her reality series as she revealed how, after she deferred her schooling at Harvard University, she struggled with mental health issues which led to her binge-eating habit.

In the 2021 trailer, Jennings said she experienced “fat-shaming” from her family after her eating disorder resulted in her new weight of 234 pounds.
“I was actually struggling severely with mental health issues. I started binge-eating and I gained weight and more weight and more weight. And now, almost 100 pounds heavier, here I am today.”
“It makes me feel really humiliated,” Jennings said.
The TLC star has also been honest about her weight and health issues with her followers online.
In a June 2021 Instagram post, Jennings made a public promise to “address” her weight gain and “hold [herself] accountable.”
“As many of you have noticed, over the past few years, I have gained a substantial amount of weight. I suffer from binge-eating disorder, a disease in which 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 said.
“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. I’m ready to take the initiative and create positive changes when it comes to my health and body.”
