Jelly Roll gave fans an insight into how his fitness journey is going.
The country music star took to Instagram on October 21 and revealed that he has lost 100 pounds so far, even while on tour.
“Next year when you all see me, you won’t recognize me,” he says in the clip.
The video then cuts to his personal chef, who praises Jelly and all the hard work he put in to lose weight.
“Jelly crushed it. Walked the arena, played basketball, boxed. He just surpassed his 100-pound weight loss,” Ian Larios said to the camera.
In May of this year, Jelly participated in a 5K organized by Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura. The race was held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. His run comes after he revealed in April that he had lost 70 pounds.
In a post-race interview with TMZ, Jelly said he felt “amazing”.
“I feel almost emotional, man, it’s crazy. Man, I lost a little bit of weight trying to do this…I feel great, I feel really good. I actually lost about 70 pounds to get ready for this.” I worked out pretty hard a few days a week. However, things are still very difficult,” he said.
Jelly shared that he is open to another 5K in the future.
“I could have run more than 5km if I had known beforehand how many people were tailgating in the parking lot, eating hot dogs and drinking beer. This was the best experience ever. I have feels like I’m going to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert,” he joked.
Jelly opened up about his decision to lose weight in a 2018 Instagram post, where he shared that he weighed over 500 pounds at his heaviest.
“I’ve been obese since I was a kid. All I knew was fat, and I was miserable. I wanted to skydive, bungee jump, bull ride, parasail, ride roller coasters, I wanted to LIVE a life I live a normal life and have a normal relationship with food. I fight addiction and alcoholism every day,” he said.
In 2023, he revealed on into this new album and tour… this is what growth and gratitude looks like in real time.”
Just know that I am doing my part – I am exercising daily…praying and meditating…. Eat better – lose weight. Making sure I bring the best version of me on this new album and tour… this is growth and gratitude in real time.
