YouTube star Jazz Jennings is more comfortable in her skin than ever — and she wants the world to know it.
Jennings, 24, took to Instagram on Sunday, December 21, to share happy snaps from a recent vacation in Las Vegas. In her carousel, she included a naked photo of herself flashing a peace sign while enjoying a bubble bath that strategically covered her private parts.
“Rolling the dice 🎲I ❤️ Vegas,” a caption from Jennings, who shared publicly in August that she’d lost almost 100 pounds in two years, read.
The carousel also featured photos of Jennings, who rose to fame in TLC’s reality series I Am Jazz before gaining a dedicated social media following, with family members, including mom Jeanette, who accompanied her on the Vegas trip.
Jennings shared her pride over her incredible health journey within her August 26 weight loss reveal. “I’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 I’ve been in years. Let’s keep it going,” she wrote.
The post also included a comparison video of herself running and performing a wall sit exercise from two years prior versus today. The video featured written-over text that read, “I’m proud of my progress towards better health, but I’m still running towards more goals!”
Her weight loss journey is a far cry from the June 2021 post that Jennings shared that detailed her struggles with binge eating. “As many of you have noticed, over the past few years, I have gained a substantial amount of weight,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “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.”
Jennings, a transgender activist who strives to “create acceptance and equality in this world,” per her YouTube bio, said she felt ready for a physical evolution. “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,” she said. “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.”
Jennings’ dramatic transformation wasn’t the only thing worth celebrating in Vegas recently. On December 3, she revealed via Instagram that she’d just finished her final exam as “a Harvard student.” She captioned a smiling photo of herself, “Picture taken in mad scientist mode,” which drew congratulatory messages from fans.
“Congratulations and u always looked like a princess,” wrote one follower, while another commented, “Jazz, all of your internet aunties are SO! PROUD! Of you!!! Enjoy your break!!! ❤️❤️❤️.”
