Jelly Roll has lost nearly 200 pounds.

Country music superstar Jelly Roll has shown off a high-profile body transformation as he’s shed nearly 200 pounds since beginning his weight loss journey. And it’s really no secret how he did it.
During a recent interview with Fox News Digital at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday, Jelly Roll offered a telling detail about the most difficult struggle in losing weight – and it wasn’t going to the gym.
“Food, man,” Jelly Roll told Fox News Digital.
“If you’re really battling obesity, you got to start at the dinner table, man. The walking’s great, all the other stuff’s great, but you got to fight that addiction at the dinner table,” he said.
The country music star previously admitted that he found himself addicted to food, much in the same way that he also dealt with addiction to drugs and substances over the years.
“The battle was with the food addiction, changing the way I’ve looked at food for the last 39 years,” he told People magazine last year. “I’ve never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it’s like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way.”
As the country music star continues to shed weight, he has made it clear what his goals are once he finally reaches his target weight.
“For the non-fluffy people in the world, I would give y’all some educational course here,” Jelly Roll said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last month. “To do all the fun stuff in life, you’ve got to be under 250 [pounds].”
The country star said he has a “list” of things he wants to do once his weight allows.
“I want to skydive; I want to ride a roller coaster. I want to ride a bull,” he told Kimmel. “I know it sounds crazy. I want to wrestle an alligator. I’ve got a list of things that I want to do.”
Clearly, he is trending in the right direction in that regard.
