‘2023 – let’s go! I’m jumping into the new year now and feeling better than I’ve felt in many years!’ she wrote in her caption.
“2023 is all about spending more time with the people I love and doing things that make me happy,” she added, before asking fans about their resolutions.
Jackie then encouraged her fans and followers to join Weight Watchers – a weight loss program for which she is an ambassador – if they want to shed a few unwanted pounds and feel healthier.
“If one of your goals this year is to lose weight, feel healthier and feel more confident, join the WeightWatchers program,” she continued.

Jackie announced in November that she was taking a significant break from the Kyle and Jackie O Show.
At the time, Jackie, who had been coughing in the air and sounding unwell for weeks, explained that she had been in poor health since contracting Covid-19 a few months ago and needed adequate rest to recover from the virus.
She told listeners she wouldn’t be on the air for the next “couple of weeks,” and didn’t give a return date.

“I’ve not been doing very well since I’ve had Covid… I’m struggling with this fatigue,” she said.
“I’ve been to the doctor several times and he said because I’m exerting myself every day, I just slept after the show and I’m not getting any better.”
“I feel like it’s gotten worse. I can hear it,” replied her co-host Kyle Sandilands, who noted that Jackie couldn’t even laugh without throwing a coughing fit.
“I just need to take some time off,” she added. “I’m closing the show today. Like right now.’

In August 2022, Jackie opened up about her weight loss journey, admitting she had regained the pounds she lost when she joined Weight Watchers the year before.
The mother-of-one told Sunrise’s Natalie Barr that she has rejoined the weight loss program in hopes of losing weight again.
“I did nat the first year and I thought my first goal was originally to lose 10kg, which I did – because I’d gained about 40kg,” she explained at the time.
“But once I hit 10 pounds, I was like woo! Let’s eat pizza! Let’s start eating, I’ve been so good I have to reward myself and of course you just don’t stop rewarding yourself and I fell off the wagon a bit.
“I think when you lose weight you’re like, ‘Oh dear, I never will.’ I won’t go back to it because the beginning is the hardest part, the beginning is the most depressing part, because you’re thinking why did I allow myself to put that weight back on.
“But it’s just normal, a lot of people do that, so I think it’s really important to know that if you fall off the wagon you don’t hit yourself too hard, just get back on and start over, it’s in Order.”
Jackie began her weight loss journey in June 2021 after first signing with WW.
