The country music star Jelly Roll has been on a weight loss journey over the past few years. Now, he’s revealed that he’s down nearly 200 pounds from the 540 pounds that he once weighed. Despite this, Jelly Roll wants the world to know that he’s just getting started, as he has a massive new weight loss goal!
Jelly Roll’s Major Weight Loss
Jelly Roll, 40, was complimented on his weight loss when he appeared on Pat McAfee’s Big Night Aht live show on Wednesday.
“It looks like you’ve lost a person,” McAfee, 37, told Jelly Roll in front of a live audience.
“Congratulations,” he added as the crowd cheered. “Do you mind giving an update on where you started and where you are now?”
“I started at 540 lbs.,” Jelly Roll said. “I’m 357 lbs. [as of] this morning, baby!”
The crowd reacted to this by cheering once again. That’s when Jelly Roll grabbed the microphone and revealed his new goal.
“Imma lose another 100 lbs. to go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby!” he exclaimed.
“Live a little bit!” McAfee said in response. “Well, we’re all proud of you, we need you to survive, brother, you’re one of the good ones.”

Jelly Roll’s Marriage
Jelly Roll met his future wife Bunnie XO when she attended one of his Las Vegas concerts in 2015. They quickly embarked on a whirlwind romance. He proposed to her onstage at another Vegas concert in 2016. They then went right to a chapel and got married immediately. Bunnie XO has been his biggest supporter ever since.
Back in December, Jelly Roll opened up about his weight loss journey while appearing on his wife’s Dumb Blonde podcast.
“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,” he said at the time. “I somehow managed to be this successful carrying 550 pounds. That’s insane.”
“I wanna be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026,” he continued. “That’s my new goal. I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.”
Bunnie XO was quick to praise her husband for this. Indeed, she admitted that his goal made her feel “so giddy.”
Jelly Roll’s Initial Weight Loss
Jelly Roll first revealed his weight loss to the world in April of last year.
“I’m probably down 70-something pounds,” Jelly Roll told People Magazine at the time. “I’ve been really kicking ass, man. I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I’m doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day…I’m eating healthy right now.”
“I feel really good,” he continued. “I was thinking, I plan on losing another 100, 100-and-something [pounds]. If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I’m going to feel like by the time I go on tour.”
Needless to say, Jelly Roll has hit that goal and then some. We can’t wait to see where Jelly Roll’s weight loss journey takes him from here!
