After losing a significant amount of weight, Jacqueline Adan was left with 30 pounds of excess skin—a physical and emotional burden that took time to accept. Even as she grew more confident, cruel comments from strangers reminded her how harsh people can be.

A turning point came during a trip to Mexico when Jacqueline wore a swimsuit without a cover-up for the first time in years. Though people stared and whispered, she chose to smile, step into the pool, and own the moment. “I was not the same girl anymore,” she said.

Jacqueline has undergone four skin removal surgeries so far, with more ahead. Since insurance doesn’t cover the procedures, her fiancé Kevin started a fundraiser to help. Through it all, Jacqueline stays focused on what matters: self-love, resilience, and living life on her own terms.

Now a personal trainer, she shares her journey online, spreading messages of body positivity and challenging unrealistic beauty standards. With Kevin by her side and dreams of a Disney-themed wedding, Jacqueline continues to inspire others—proof that every step forward is worth celebrating.
