“You look healthy and beautiful!” one person commented, as another wrote, “Youโ€™re beautiful like always keep up the good work, girl!” A third chimed in, “You look great congrats on the weight loss..New look is a 10.”

In August 2024, Jennings took to Instagram to celebrate losing almost 100 pounds in two years, sharing before-and-after footage of her fitness journey. “Two years later and almost 100 pounds lighter!โ€ the TLC star wrote. โ€œIโ€™m so proud of my progress and want to thank my family, friends and all who supported me in getting there! 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 Iโ€™ve been in years. Letโ€™s keep it going!โ€

In June 2021, Jennings shared that she had been struggling with binge-eating disorder, which caused her to gain “a substantial amount of weight.” She wrote on Instagram at the time, “My binging, along with an increased appetite I experience from some of the meds Iโ€™m on, has caused me to gain almost 100 lbs. in a little less than 2 years.โ€

She continued, โ€œIโ€™m ready to change my ways; Iโ€™ve been saying Iโ€™m ready to turn over a new leaf, but Iโ€™m running out of trees now. Iโ€™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.โ€

In a December 2021 episode of I Am Jazz, Jennings said she was inspired to lose weight for “health reasons.”

“I honestly feel beautiful [at] every shape and size. I love my body the way it is. But I will say that I am trying to lose weight for health reasons,โ€ she said on the show. โ€œI have to feel good, too, and I donโ€™t feel good with some of the foods that I have been eating. I really am working on this weight loss so I can be healthier and more me.โ€
