Celebrity weight loss

A TEEN Mom favorite has shown off her drastic weight loss for the new year, and she looks like a completely different person.

In an emotional video, the MTV reality star revealed two scary health emergencies led her to totally change her eating and fitness habits, resulting in an incredible slim-down.

Briana DeJesus‘ best friend Shae Kogut, 35, took to Instagram to cover her health journey over the course of 2025.

She said in 2024, she began suffering “gallbladder attacks,” and scheduled a surgery to get the organ removed.

“That’s where my health journey really began. My entire eating habits have changed,” Shae wrote.

“I learned what my body needed for fuel, I learned that protein is my best friend, I also learned that drinking water isn’t so bad.

“Before this heath journey started, I was drinking weekly, I was in taking so much sugar, my energy crashes were so bad to a point I couldn’t even function without daily naps.”

PAINFUL SURGERIES

In August 2025, the Teen Mom pal suffered “bloating and pain” in her stomach area, and discovered she needed to get cysts removed from her ovaries.

“Since my recovery, I’m able to do so much more physically than ever before because I don’t have the pain anymore!” she said.

“Truly thankful for this year, it taught me resilience, perseverance, and believing in myself again!

“I only share my life on here because I know others may be going through similar things! 2026 is going to be a ‘Me year.’

“Toning my body, being the best version of myself all around and I’m really excited to see what this year brings!”

Shae has appeared on Teen Mom many times over the years in scenes with her friend Briana.

She currently works as an Orlando-based influencer and Salty Honey brand ambassador.

“Never dilute the essence of who you are to meet the expectations of others. The foundations of your soul were divinely designed and do not need to be changed.

“True luxury is authenticity. True power is alignment. When you remain rooted in your truth, abundance flows naturally. Stay real, stay grounded and stay radiant. Your presence alone is powerful.”

The former TOWIE star continued: “May 2026 bring elevated success, abundant wealth, deep inner peace and soul-level happiness to everyone.

“May your path be blessed, your heart protected and your dreams manifested with ease.

“You are becoming. You are rising. You are exactly where you are meant to be. HAPPY NEW YEAR,” she signed off.

Her followers flocked to the comments section and many couldn’t help but compliment her on her figure.

One person gushed: “Well said Gemma, you look fabulous. Love to you all xxx.”

Another fan penned: “Looking fab, love your swimwear,” while somebody else enthused: “Wow! You look amazing x.”

A fourth added: “That’s so lovely, so beautiful. May you have the most amazing 2026. You look stunning by the way, radiant.”

The weight loss comes after she began getting help from the NHS-approved Mounjaro back in November last year.

 Having struggled with weight gain since being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome aged 28, Gemma weighed in at over 23st and a size 26 at her heaviest.

She proudly told OK! Magazine: “I’ve actually just lost another stone and four pounds, I feel really good.

“I love myself as I am – you’ve got to be kind to yourself, it’s just about constantly remembering to make those right choices and be mindful.”

The I’m A Celeb star added: “I don’t put pressure on myself.

“It didn’t take you five minutes to gain it and it’s not going to take you five minutes to lose it.”

The reality TV star, who is a poster girl for shapely women, now only eats one meal a day after a two-decade battle with her body.

However she refuses to lose her famous curves, previously telling The Sun: “Nothing against skinny people, but I don’t ever want to be thin.”

She added: “Darling, I became most famous being who I am.

“If I got stick thin overnight, it would kill my brand, my endorsements and it wouldn’t be me.”

Jazz Jennings has turned heads for a number of recent accomplishments.

After her last semester at Harvard, where she not only aced her classes but also tossed her graduation cap into the air, the star is now flaunting the results of her hard-earned 100-pound weight loss.

And, boy, does she look fabulous.

Jazz shared a jaw-dropping photo of herself in a plunging orange striped halter swimsuit, on which fans flocked to comment.

The reality TV star has lost over 100 pounds, and the snap serves as a reminder that hard work and dedication can truly pay off.

Rising to fame as one of the stars of the groundbreaking reality show I Am Jazz, she introduced viewers to her life as a transgender girl navigating adolescence.

The show not only chronicled her personal experiences but also brought awareness to the issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community.

Now, with a degree from Harvard under her belt, Jazz is proving that she is more than just a reality star.

Her recent photos — like the stunning one where she’s rocking that sizzling orange swimsuit — showcase her journey to confidence.

She also posted a family video showing the changes they all made between 2020 and 2025.

Jazz has always been unapologetically herself.

At just six years old, Jennings and her family began sharing their experiences on television, shedding light on the unique challenges of growing up transgender.

Her inspiring journey was highlighted on national programs like 20/20 and The Rosie Show, where she made a memorable appearance alongside Chaz Bono.

In 2011, the Oprah Winfrey Network debuted a documentary titled “I Am Jazz: A Family in Transition,” which focuses on her life and family.

Jazz was assigned male at birth in West Palm Beach, Florida, but at the age of four, she was diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

She publicly identified as transgender in a 2007 interview with Barbara Walters, which contributed to discussions about authenticity and gender identity.
