Country music’s Jelly Roll has always worn his heart on his sleeve, but these days, he’s wearing smaller clothes, too. The singer, once weighing 550 pounds, has undergone a staggering 140-pound transformation—not with fad diets or surgery, but through sheer determination and daily discipline.
His journey began in 2022, when he decided enough was enough. Battling emotional eating tied to past trauma, Jelly Roll knew he needed a sustainable approach. He hired a nutrition coach, cut out processed foods, and started walking—simple steps that led to big changes. “It wasn’t some Hollywood cleanse,” he told fans. “Just smarter choices and more movement.”
The results? By 2024, he’d lost 100 pounds. But his proudest moment came in early 2025, when he hiked Camelback Mountain—a far cry from the days when stairs left him winded. “This was for me,” he said at the peak, sweat and pride mingling.
Key to his success was his wife, Bunnie XO, who stood by him through every struggle. “She kept me going when I wanted to quit,” he admitted. His coach also played a crucial role, crafting a plan that focused on consistency, especially while touring.
Now, Jelly Roll is far from done. He’s training for 5Ks and dreams of gracing the cover of Men’s Health. But more than accolades, he’s chasing a healthier, happier life—one where he can keep up with his family and career without limits. His story isn’t just about weight loss; it’s about rewriting his future.
