Jackie ‘O’ Henderson shed an incredible 10kg in just a few months last year after signing on to WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) as a celebrity ambassador.
And the KIIS FM radio star, 46, has vowed to continue her weight loss efforts in 2022.
‘After losing 10 kilos and maintaining the weight loss, I’m continuing my journey without compromise, and I’ve decided my goal this new year is to lose a few more kilos,’ the mother-of-one told Woman’s Day magazine on Monday.

Jackie is also hoping to maintain her new-found sense of confidence after dropping several dress sizes last year.
‘I’ve also noticed my self-confidence has increased dramatically, my clothes fit better – it doesn’t feel like such a squeeze!’ she said.
‘I also try to not be so hard on myself. I learned to love my curves and focus on feeling good and being healthy,’ she added.

Jackie signed-up to WW after noticing her weight was spiralling out of control due to her busy schedule, irregular sleeping patterns and poor food choices.
Since joining the program, Jackie has been following a strict, yet nutritionally balanced, meal plan.
Describing her healthy day on a plate, Jackie told Woman’s Day she prefers to eat savoury food for breakfast, such as chicken or vegetable soup.

For lunch, she’ll have a turkey burger or Cruskits with ham, cottage cheese and tomato, while dinner typically consists of fish and vegetables or poached chicken.
For snacks, the mother of one has swapped unhealthy options for nuts and yoghurt.

Weight Watchers does offer an extensive range of exercise plans for clients, but it seems Jackie chose to avoid that part of the program.
Jackie, a notorious yo-yo dieter, has struggled with her weight for years.
In May 2020, she admitted she was ’embarrassed’ about the weight she’d gained during lockdown and was desperate to lose the kilos before starring on The Masked Singer.
Jackie even revealed she was so self-conscious she would no longer let her 10-year-old daughter, Kitty, see her naked.
‘Over the weekend I was in my bathroom and the door was closed. I took off my clothes because I was going to get in the bath,’ she explained at the time.

‘Kitty went to walk through into the bathroom and I screamed, ‘Don’t come in!’ And she said, “Why?” And I said, “Because I’m naked.”
‘Kitty said, “You’re my mum. I see you naked all the time.” And I said, “I know, but I just don’t want you seeing me naked right now.” Because I’m just so embarrassed about how much weight I’ve put on.’
Three months later, Jackie revealed she’d begged The Masked Singer’s producers to remove ‘unflattering’ footage of her looking bloated after gaining 5kg overnight.
‘I didn’t want to leave the house’: In June 2021, Jackie spoke about how her weight gain had affected her life, after she stacked on the kilos during Covid and became the ‘biggest I have ever been’
She said she’d experienced water retention and bloating after eating 80 seaweed snacks backstage the previous night.
Unfortunately, it was too late for a costume change, so Jackie had to squeeze into her dress and felt uncomfortable throughout the taping.

‘It can be a challenge’: She went on to explain how her busy lifestyle and early-morning starts affected her sleeping pattern and energy levels
‘I stopped wanting to leave the house and was avoiding social outings because I just didn’t feel well, motivated or confident anymore,’ Jackie said on air, adding that she would spend up to $300 per week on Uber Eats.
She went on to explain how her busy lifestyle and early-morning starts affected her sleeping pattern and energy levels.
‘It can be a challenge to set a good standard for the day when you’re up at 4:30am and running out the door – your whole day and eating schedule can be a little bit out of whack from there,’ she said.
‘I was never cooking for myself, Uber Eats was my best friend. It was expensive and a really unhealthy habit, which made me feel so bad about myself.’
‘I joined WW so that I can feel healthier, be more active, feel good about myself, and fit into my old clothes again,’ she continued, adding: ‘It’s also important to me that I set a good example for my daughter [Kitty] about a healthy lifestyle and approach to eating.’
