"Jackie" - Jackie (Denver, CO) was a fit athlete in high school, but she put on more than 100 pounds (reaching a total of 266 pounds) after her newborn baby suffered Shaken Baby Syndrome at the hands of the nanny. The incident resulted in brain damage that the child still lives with 16 years later. Jackie is hoping to lose the excess weight that continues to hold her back and gather the strength to forgive the nanny who changed their lives forever. Her inspiring transformation will be featured in the episode of "Extreme Weight Loss" airing on TUESDAY, AUGUST 25 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on ABC.
