Jelly Roll Drops 200lbs and Sets Wild New Goal: Skydiving, Bull Riding, and More!

BBG News

Jelly Roll opened up about his weight loss journey and his new goal after losing nearly 200lbs.

In simpler terms, the 40-year-old music artist shared that he aims to lose more weight to enjoy thrilling activities such as skydiving and roller coaster rides.

On Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night, he shared with the host that he had to hit a specific figure to be able to enjoy life’s exciting activities – like riding a bull or wrestling an alligator.

Three years ago, during the start of his health and wellness adventure, he had already weighed more than 540 pounds as a previous fact.

Initially, the lead vocalist of The Wild Ones, originally named Jason DeFord, addressed those who are not soft or fluffy-hearted.

He proposed sharing an informative lesson with everyone, he mentioned. To enjoy life fully, it’s essential that you fall within the age category of being under 250.

The individual born in Nashville, who shared insights about his intense workout routine recently, went on to say: “I aspire to go skydiving. I desire to experience a roller coaster. I aim to ride a bucking bull.

He acknowledged it might seem absurd, but he expressed his desire: “I want to have a wrestling match with an alligator. It’s on my list of adventures.

In response to the rapper revealing his motivation for shedding pounds, Kimmel expressed surprise.

It seems I’ve got it right — you put in so much effort with your rigorous routine and self-control to shed those pounds, only to consider an action that might jeopardize your health?” (From the perspective of a concerned supporter)

Jelly Roll remarked humorously: “Isn’t that fantastic? You see, I was holding out for a heart attack to happen, but why wait? Let me take the plunge head-on instead!

In response, the talk show host playfully remarked, “Ever thought about grappling with an alligator while you’re skydiving?

Jelly Roll replied, ‘That’ll be my plus-one.’ 

After receiving recognition for his musical talent, the renowned artist subsequently offered tips on his successful strategy for shedding more than 200 pounds through a straightforward and regular routine.

‘Dude, listen. I’ve been thinking about ways to make it sound cool, but I can’t,’ he said. 

‘I’m eating a lot of protein and vegetables and walking. That’s what I’m doing.’ 

Shortly after disclosing a significant weight loss, from 540lbs to 357lbs, as part of his health and wellness transformation.

In the previous year, he had been preparing for a 5K race and openly expressed his ambition to shed 100 pounds. He proudly stated, “I’ve been absolutely crushing it,” when talking to People magazine in April 2024.

He stated that he walks between 2 and 3 miles daily, for roughly 4 to 6 days a week. Additionally, he spends about 20 to 30 minutes each day in the sauna, followed by 6 minutes in an ice-cold plunge every single day. Currently, his diet is balanced and nutritious.

The performer commented: ‘I’m feeling terrific. I’ve been contemplating, and I intend to shed another 100 or so pounds [around that amount]. If I feel this great at this weight, I can hardly wait to see how amazing I’ll feel once I hit the road for my tour!’

A few weeks ago, it was disclosed that he had successfully achieved his objective of shedding a hundred pounds at an occasion held in Pittsburgh.

Speaking openly in an interview, the star, wedded to Bunnie XO (who too is embarking on her own weight loss journey), expressed his plans: “I intend to shed another 100 pounds and take part in a thrilling skydiving adventure with my wife in Sweden!

Apart from weighing 250 pounds, Jelly Roll also revealed another ambition he aims to accomplish within the next year.

In December 2024, during an interview on his wife’s podcast titled “Dumb Blonde”, he expressed his desire to feature in Men’s Health magazine.

He expressed that his ambition is to grace the cover of Men’s Health magazine by March 2026. This is his latest objective, as he aims for an extraordinary transformation.

He added that he was ‘so glad’ to be having the discussion in front of an audience. 

‘I did this publicly for a reason. I wanna be honest about my struggles with it with people.’ 

‘I believe that individuals who reach a level of fame as significant as mine, often feel embarrassed after losing weight. They feel so ashamed that they prefer to conceal themselves and shed the pounds.’

After emerging, they struggle to adapt as they now appear or feel differently, and they essentially need to discover a completely new approach to interacting with the world.

He continued: ‘I wanted to lose it in front of everybody. I wanted to talk about it.’
