Country music icon Jelly Roll sticks to business when it comes to his health and fitness.
The singer has recently disclosed that he lost nearly 200 pounds over the course of his recent weight loss journey.
The country music singer made the shocking revelation when he joined Pat McAfee at his Big Night Ah live show on Wednesday, night (April 9).
“I started at 540 pounds and I was 357 pounds this morning,” the Grammy-nominated singer told the crowd, who cheered at the accomplishment as Jelly Roll showed off his muscles. He then added, “I’m gonna lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby!”
The update comes after the singer revealed at the end of 2024 that he lost more than 100 pounds over the course of the year. “Making small, intentional choices daily is a real thing that I have honed in on and that has been so impactful during this process,” he told Billboard of his health and wellness journey. “I think it’s changed my ability to keep up with my progress, since it has been an honest conversation of ‘in that moment’ which one is the better option to stay on track?”
Opening up to his wife Bunnie XO, about the motivation behind his weight loss. “I think that people who become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they’re kind of ashamed,” he said on Bunie’s Dumb Blonde Podcast in December. “They’re so ashamed that they go hide and lose the weight, and then they come back out and they don’t really know how to interact with the world.”
“What I want the world to know, and I want people to see … is that I didn’t become successful because of my weight. I became successful in spite of it. I somehow managed to be this successful carrying 550 pounds. That’s insane,” added Jelly.
