In the post, she wrote:

“Two years later and almost 100 pounds lighter! 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!”

AH-Mazing!!

Seriously, the before-and-after is STUNNING!!

In the comments, fans and family alike shared how proud they are of her, with some writing:

“You look amazing and healthy that’s the most important part, you’re a true inspiration”

“Love this!!! I just started my wellness journey. Incredibly inspiring.”

“So proud of you! You’re looking amazing!! Keep up the good work! Keep doing the things that make you smile!”

“That’s AMAZING Jazz! I’m so happy for you!”

“Get it girl!!!! You are amazing and unstoppable!!!”

Her mom Jeanette Jennings chimed in with support:

“Sooooooo proud of you! I love you so much.”

And her big brother Sander, who helped her train, sweetly replied:

“So proud to be by your side every step of the way! You inspire me so much. Keep pushing towards your goals “

What an amazing accomplishment! Jazz should be so proud of herself! Reactions, Perezcious readers?

To highlight the occasion, she shared a photo of herself in a cute outfit — a red shirt and black pants — posing alongside several other friends (AKA “weightloss warriors”) who are also on their own weight loss journeys. Collectively, they’ve all lost 2,078 pounds. Amazing!!

The 38-year-old reality star has been working on her health for several years now. She started the TLC show in 2020 when she weighed around 725 pounds and needed to drop 200 pounds to be considered for bariatric surgery, which she accomplished in July 2022. She’s been slowly dropping pounds ever since — showing off her progress with a swimsuit pic in April. The weight loss has also helped her to ditch her wheelchair, which must be such a great relief.

Celebrating her success, tons of fans filled Tammy’s TikTok comment section with positive vibes, writing:

“Love this, Tammy!!! Glad you have this group of inspiring friends”

“You are an absolute inspiration”

“You are gorgeous! I bet you feel soo much better.”

“Tammy babe, you’re doing all the things you never thought you could. Slay girl”

“I’m crying so damn proud of you Tammy! YOU DID THAT GIRL! YOU DID THAT”

Tammy reportedly split from her husband Caleb Willingham in May 2023 when he stopped following his diet. Of course, the split turned out to be about more than food discipline — she came out as lesbian shortly afterward. But things took a tragic turn after that. Caleb sadly died just two months later, leaving Tammy “devastated.” The fact she’s been able to maintain her healthy habits amid that kind of loss just makes this even more impressive. She’s putting in the work and it’s paying off!

This week, the 33-year-old actress sparked rumors she was on the type 2 diabetes medication for weight loss when she posted a picture on Instagram wearing a shirt with the slogan “Ozempics 2024” with a picture of the American flag and the Olympic torch. Check it out (below):

She looks great! But is she on Ozempic? We would have thought she was joking wearing a shirt like that!

However, a source claimed to Dailymail.com on Friday that Jamie Lynn IS using the drug to help her lose weight. But the problem? Her loved ones are afraid she’ll take things way too far! Uh oh! It sounds like we could have an alleged Scott Disick situation here… An insider said:

“Her friends and family have told her that she looks incredible and that she does not need to lose any more weight, but she’s not listening.”

According to the outlet, Jamie Lynn received a ton of brutal comments about her appearance when she went on multiple reality shows like Dancing With the Stars, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! All the hate knocked her confidence. So when the Zoey 101 alum got the confirmation she would reprise her role in the upcoming fourth season of Sweet Magnolias, she allegedly decided to try to lose weight through Ozempic. However, after successfully shedding a few pounds, Jamie Lynn is now having a tough time quitting! The source explained:

“Jamie Lynn hopped on the Ozempic train, and is now struggling to get off. She was mortified over her appearance when she did a string of shows last year. She read the comments and took it very, very hard. When Sweet Magnolia’s was renewed for season 4 she was so focused on getting a new body. Her friends were supportive because many of them use it too and by the time she started filming in January she looked great and was happy.”

Although her pals were “supportive” at first, they’re growing worried about Britney Spears’ little sister. Their concerns are just being brushed off by Jamie Lynn as she is afraid to gain the weight back, though, says the source:

“But then she kept going and is now having difficulty pulling the plug on it. She is so scared of gaining it all back that she is willing to put her desire to have a ‘summer body’ before her wellbeing.”

So far, the singer reportedly has had “some” side effects:

“She has had some side affects just as most people have and although they are not severe enough to warrant her being forced to stop, they have affected her. She gets headaches a lot and has a hard time focusing and also stomach cramps.”

Umm… All of that sounds pretty “severe” and unpleasant to us! Jeez!

It’s not just the negative comments that pushed Jamie Lynn to go on Ozempic and continue to suffer through these side effects, though! Or even the main reason! Another source told the outlet the Follow Me artist mainly wants to “step on the gas” when it comes to her career next year and fears her weight will hurt her plans:

“Jamie Lynn is eager to step on the gas with her career coming into 2025. She understands that her name and connection to her sister will open doors, but fears her physical appearance could impact this. She understands the pressure that Hollywood puts on actors for the way they look. So she turned to Ozempic to remain in the conversation of TV bosses.”

It’s heartbreaking to hear she’s dealing with the horrible side effects just to keep her career — if this is true. It’s important to take this report with a grain of salt as we haven’t heard from Jamie Lynn herself on whether she’s really taking Ozempic. Nevertheless, we wish only the best for her and hope she’s OK. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments.

Just three months after fans started speculating Ozempic was the reason for the singer’s weight loss, she’s addressing the rumors — well, sorta. As we’re sure you’ve seen, the music icon has been rocking a new, slimmer look as of late. She shocked fans with her gorgeous, light blue dress at the Grammys, flaunting her new figure while presenting an award to Karol G. But immediately in our post-Ozempic world the rumors began to fly.

She’d appeared to have lost a good amount of weight, so quickly, the word Ozempic was on everyone’s lips. See for yourself why fans are calling her “tiny” (below):

She looked stunning before! But undeniably this is a big change!

In a new interview with Glamour for her cover story, the 43-year-old is letting it be known — she doesn’t care if you think she’s on the weight loss drug or not:

“I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f**k about your opinion. I’m not going to take it on. It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”

No confirmation or denial, just some sass! Classic Xtina!

She explained she’s used to people nitpicking her body ever since the start of her career — true! — and she just doesn’t have the time or energy to deal with all the rumors anymore:

“When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s. I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, ‘Oh, she’s getting thicker.’ Then I had industry people: ‘They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.'”

Although she did admit her kids — Max Liron and Summer Rain — “trigger” her back to a time when she based her whole self-esteem around “how skinny” she was:

“Your kids trigger things in you that you don’t want them to go through, and it’s almost like you’re reliving this whole thing again.”

That can’t be easy to deal with…

Innerestingly Christina previously opened up about hating being “super skinny.” However she also said in that same interview:

“As you age, you stop comparing yourself to other people and start appreciating your own body and owning it.”

That, at least, has not changed! No matter her size, Xtina is a queen just owning her look!

In an interview with British Vogue for their September cover story published on Tuesday, the 27-year-old makeup mogul opened up about her changing body amid her pregnancies with Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2. She told the outlet:

“I was 200 pounds when I gave birth to my 9 pound babies: 8.3 and 8.9. I finally lost all the baby weight after my daughter and then got pregnant with my son two months later. And I felt in shape and it was working out, and then I got pregnant and did it all over again. I feel like people didn’t give me, or give women in general, enough empathy.”

Hear, hear!

The Kylie Cosmetics founder may be slimmed down again, but don’t be fooled — she claims she did NOT use weight loss drugs:

“I see pictures [online] and people are accusing me of being on drugs or something…”

Clarifying what type of “drugs” she’s talking about, her interviewer asked if she was referring to Ozempic. She responded:

“Yeah.”

Well there you have it, folks! Kylie ain’t on Ozempic! The TV star continued:

“I’m back at my weight I was before I had my daughter and son and people are putting side by sides of me three months postpartum. I’m like: ‘Does everyone forget that I had two children and I gained 60 pounds both pregnancies?”

The Oscar winner stars in the upcoming movie Lee as real-life photographer Lee Miller, who worked as a war correspondent for Vogue during World War II. For the role, Kate told Harper’s Bazaar UK on Tuesday she stopped exercising before the film so her body would look “authentically soft” for the period. Sounds like she put a lot of work into this! Well, if not working out is work… Let’s say she put a lot of care into it. But not everyone got the memo!

While filming a scene where she had to wear a bikini, with her body on display, you won’t believe what a crew member dared to say to her! They actually urged the Titanic star to “sit up” straight to try to conceal her “belly rolls!” Yes, really! Kate recalled:

“There’s a bit where Lee’s sitting on a bench in a bikini… And one of the crew came up between takes and said: ‘You might want to sit up straighter.’”

What the f**k. However, the Oscar winner was not about covering up her stomach just so she looked more flattering on camera in their eyes! She fired back at the crew member:

“‘So you can’t see my belly rolls? Not on your life!’ It was deliberate, you know?”

Good for Kate for sticking up for herself! But do we honestly expect anything less from The Holiday alum? She’s always advocated for body positivity, especially after years of criticism she faced as a young adult over her looks. We mean, she got bodyshamed over her nude scene in Titanic ffs, the movie where she may be the most beautiful anyone has ever been in a film!

All the “bullying” about her body did get to her at one point, but nowadays? She ignores it. When asked if she cared about looking “less-than-perfect” on camera, Kate said:

“The opposite. I take pride in it because it is my life on my face, and that matters. It wouldn’t occur to me to cover that up.”

You may recall she had a similar issue just a couple years ago while filming Mare of Easttown. When she learned the director was trying to edit around her “bulgy bit of belly” in a sex scene — ostensibly for her vanity — she fought back and insisted it be seen!

And the desire for realness extends to the wrinkles on her face, too! No one will push her to get any cosmetic work! She continued:

“I think people know better than to say, ‘You might wanna do something about those wrinkles.’ I’m more comfortable in myself as each year passes. It enables me to allow the opinions of others to evaporate.”

What’s also helped her reach that point? Kate noted she feels women started to move into a positive and less judgmental direction when it comes to how they view their own bodies:

“I do feel a huge sense of relief that women are so much more accepting of themselves and refusing to be judged. Because I don’t know a single contemporary of mine who grew up seeing her mother looking in the mirror and saying: ‘I look nice!’ My mother never did: it was always, ‘Oh God, I don’t think I can wear this, do I look hippy, does my bum look big?’ We waste so much time being down on ourselves and I’m just not doing it ever again.”

Yes, Kate!!

We love how Kate just fully embraces and accepts herself, wrinkles and all! See her stunning Harper’s Bazaar UK cover photos (below):

Less than 48 hours after the Iron Claw star was rushed to a hospital in Ibiza, he’s letting fans know he’s A-okay. If you didn’t hear, Zac was hospitalized on Friday night after being pulled out of a swimming pool by two employees at the Spanish villa he was staying at. A rep for the Baywatch actor told TMZ he was taken to the medical facility as a precautionary measure for what was described as a “minor swimming incident,” but no clear details were provided. However, he was released on Saturday morning and was said to be doing fine… And even strong enough to get in a pump!

On Sunday, Zac took to Instagram to share a muscled-up photo of him chest-pressing dumbbells while lying back on a pink exercise ball. He had his shirt off, of course, showing off his ripped physique to really sell the message that he’s all good! The High School Musical alum captioned the Story pic:

“happy and healthy — thanks for all the well wishes”

Thank goodness! What a scary start to his weekend! But we’re so glad to see him ending it safely and doing what he loves… Pumping iron!

The 18-year-old daughter of Travis Barker revealed recently on TikTok that she’s taking weight loss medication because she thinks she looks “so fat” and “so ugly” in photographs. Mainly… because that’s what some really crappy commenters have told her.

It was really heartbreaking to hear she’d let the negativity in like that. And also that she’d gone to such extreme — and potentially unhealthy — measures.

But in a new series of posts on her Instagram it seems she may be getting over it. First she posted a comment on her Stories about fighting the “insecurity” others have put into her:

“Just kidding I can’t let the hate win & the insecurity’s in other individuals dim my light, love you guys still “

She followed that with a brand new carousel of bikini pics! And this time she talked about how great she was looking, quoting Gunna‘s Clear My Rain:

“ah baby slim in the waist, body right she a 10 in the face.”

Good for her! We’re so happy she’s feeling less insecure!

What do YOU think of Alabama’s latest posts??

As we reported earlier this month, the New Orleans-born fitness icon passed away at his house in the Hollywood Hills just one day after his 76th birthday. His death was completely unexpected and greeted with surprise by the media and public. That Richard had been so reclusive in his final years only made his passing that much more shocking. And now, his housekeeper is speaking out about it.

Related: Richard’s Final Interview Just 2 Days Before His Death Offered Truly Haunting Last Words

In a new interview with People on Monday, Reveles — who first started working in Simmons’ household back in 1986 — shared a theory about what killed the fitness expert. She was the one who discovered Richard’s body that morning, and when she found him, she noticed something curious: his hands were balled up into fists. Reveles believes that meant he had a heart attack, as she told the mag:

“That’s why I know it was heart attack. I had a heart attack a few years ago, and my hands did the same.”

For what it’s worth, an official cause of death has not been determined with toxicology test results still pending, so Reveles’ theory is just that — a theory. Still, she tried to share her optimism amid the tragedy by saying that Simmons looked “peaceful” when she found him, and that she hoped he had “died happy.” We hope so, too…

Elsewhere in the interview, Teresa described herself as Simmons’ “companion” and claimed that decades ago, Richard had predicted the two of them would be together for the rest of his life:

“[Simmons said] ‘Teresa, come in, you are never going to leave. We are going to be together until I die.’ And you know what? His dream came true. He knew somehow.”

She also confirmed to People something that has already been reported — that Simmons fell in his bathroom on his birthday on July 12, but refused to go to the hospital because he didn’t want to spend his birthday there. Teresa said that when she asked at the time about taking him in for a check-up, he told her:

“Why don’t we wait and we do it in the morning.”

About what happened hours after that conversation, she ruefully added:

“But in the morning it was too late.”

So sad…

Now, there is more to the story involving Teresa and her relationship with Richard. As you may recall, a podcast called Missing Richard Simmons debuted early in 2017 that sought to figure out why Simmons had left the public eye. As part of that podcast, a longtime friend of the fitness guru came forward with claims Reveles was to blame. He said the caregiver had started controlling Richard’s life and was keeping him away from friends, family members, and his adoring fans.

In one episode of that spring 2017 podcast, Simmons’ pal Mauro Oliveira claimed he had gone to Richard’s home to figure out where the star disappeared to when he allegedly found himself an unsettling situation involving Reveles:

“It was 6 p.m., and I went into his house. He was sitting in the living room, and he was very weakly, physically and mentally. He was trembling. He said, ‘Mauro, I called you here because we cannot see each other anymore. I’m just going to stay here.’ I thought of the worst. I thought the worst was going to happen. I thought he was suicidal. … She [Teresa] realized that I was in the house and she started screaming like a witch, ‘No no no no, get out, get out! I don’t want him here!’ Richard looked at me and said, ‘you got to go.’ I said, ‘really? Is she controlling your life now?’ and he said yes, and that I have to leave.”

So creepy, right? But while Oliveira certainly has his story, and Missing Richard Simmons became a phenomenon followed by pop culture conspiracy theorists nationwide when it was released, Richard’s own family never agreed with those sentiments. Also speaking to People on Monday, the late fitness guru’s brother Lenny had this to say about Reveles:

“Teresa was extremely loyal and trustworthy. She loved my brother, and he loved her. We are blessed to have Teresa in our lives.”

We feel for Teresa for losing her longtime employer — and friend. And for being the one to find his body on that fateful mid-July morning. Ugh.

R.I.P.

And the reasoning behind her decision, of feeling “tired of being fat and photographing like a damn ogre,” broke our hearts even more. No 18-year-old should ever feel like that! Nobody PERIODT should ever feel like that! Ugh.

But now, there are even more new concerns with this drug cocktail on top of the mental health worries we have for Alabama’s body image as a young woman in this cruel age of social media.

Related: Alabama Shares Rare Pic Of Baby Brother Rocky In Kourtney Kardashian’s Arms!

While the rest of Hollywood seems to all be taking drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy, experts are now counseling that somebody as young as Alabama may be playing with fire regarding the use of the medicine semaglutide, which helps with long-term weight management.

On Thursday, the US Sun spoke to nutritionist Rania Batayneh, and she sounded VERY skeptical about the benefits of weight loss drugs for teenagers. She began by noting that Alabama’s video reveal of her weight loss drug use appeared to be “extreme,” and then went on to add:

“This looked messy and extreme. Alabama is 18 and not clinically overweight, so would not typically have access to a weight loss drug prescription.”

The health expert then went on to note that the appetite suppressant effects of weight loss drugs could leave Alabama eating too few calories, “which is not a normal, healthy, or enjoyable life for any teenager.” Batayneh continued:

“Weight loss medications could set teenagers up for failure long-term. This is in terms of weight maintenance, long-term health, and mental health issues. Drugs like Ozempic must not become the quick fix in this age group. Alabama and other teenagers who consider using these medications must learn how to take care of themselves properly.”

One of the biggest issues, according to the One One One Diet author, is the risk of metabolic disruption. The worry that these drugs could mess up a teenager’s metabolism for life — in addition to the psychological toll of treating food in such a manner — could be very bad:

“This is about metabolic disruption in that young age group. This will impact natural metabolic processes and appetite regulation simply because teenagers burn more naturally. When you add an appetite suppressant and restrict caloric intake, the metabolism will take a hit because of the young age. There are also psychological impacts when a teenager is not eating healthily. They could develop a bad relationship with food and have adverse effects when they decide to eat.”

Wow.

Like we said up top, it sure seems like tons of celebs have turned to these drugs — and some of them with very concerning side effects of their own. But for teens? It’s going too far. Batayneh said:

“We cannot imagine what will happen to teenagers who resort to these drugs. What will we say when they become so thin from using them?”

And she wisely concluded:

“The solution is not a weight loss injection, and this must not be the next logical step. If it is not for obesity or Type 2 diabetes, these may be visual beauty and cosmetic-inspired decisions versus health-informed decisions. Teenagers need not to be focusing on the numbers on the scales or how they look. This mindset is not conducive to a healthy teenage lifestyle.”

No kidding. Say it louder for the people in the back… PLEASE!!!
