Jazz Jennings Flaunts 70-Pound Weight Loss In New Swimsuit Photos: 'Ozempic Is Working Great'
Jazz Jennings is glowing in her new swimsuit photos after her 70-pound weight loss, but some social media users have accused her of shedding those pounds with the help of weight loss drugs like Ozempic.
The 23-year-old "I Am Jazz" star took to Instagram to post photos of herself lounging by the pool in a printed, one-piece pink swimsuit.
Jennings accessorized with a black and silver necklace and a large red flower, which she inserted above her ear.
The reality star let her wavy brown locks flow freely down her back as she posed for the camera.

Alongside the snaps, Jennings wrote a message about "trans joy" and the newfound confidence she feels wearing a swimsuit without a cover-up.
"For me, #TransJoy means wearing a bathing suit with confidence," the TLC personality wrote.
According to Jennings, many transgender people suffer from body dysphoria, which results in them feeling insecure while at the beach or the pool.
"Swimsuits, which are often revealing, can intensify feelings of discomfort and anxiety about our bodies. Additionally, the experience of wearing a swimsuit can be emotionally taxing because of societal pressures and beauty standards," the trans activist explained.
Jennings confessed that she used to be among those individuals and thus would always pair her swimsuit with shorts or skirts to keep her bottom half covered.
However, she wrote that she'd "always wanted to wear bikini bottoms or one-piece suits without a cover-up and without experiencing dysphoria."
"The liberation I feel being able to wear regular bottoms freely has allowed my confidence to soar," Jennings declared.
The reality TV star concluded her message by encouraging her fans to embrace and "love" themselves and their bodies as they are.
"Whoever you are, and whatever insecurities you have about your body, I truly hope you know how beautiful you and your body are," Jennings wrote. "There is no right way to look. Love yourself as you are."
Many of Jennings' followers could relate to her story and expressed their gratitude to her for her words of encouragement.
"As a transguy, I suffer quite a bit from body dysphoria esp in a swimsuit. This message really hit home and is beautiful," one Instagram user commented on her post.
Another wrote, "I have always covered up with sarong or skirt and suffered from being so uncomfortable just getting in and out of pool because of hating my body... I'm now 57, and for the first time ever last year, I finally went out in a sleeveless top. It felt amazing."
Others showered Jennings with love and praise over her photos and message, including her brother Sander Jennings.
"Love this so much!!!" Sander commented.
"Hot girl summer, you look fabulous," wrote another follower.
However, some focused on Jennings' weight loss and suggested that she may have joined the many celebrities using medications such as Ozempic to shed pounds quickly.
"Ozempic is working great for you," one user commented on her post.
Jennings has not detailed how she lost weight, but she's posted several photos and videos showcasing her active lifestyle, which includes playing sports and working out.
Earlier this year, Jennings -- who has binge-eating disorder -- revealed via Facebook that she had lost 70 pounds since starting her weight loss journey a few years ago.
"70 pounds down! Feeling happier and healthier than I've been in years," she wrote alongside a photo of her posing on a beach. "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."
