Country music star Jelly Roll is on an incredible health journey, and he’s already made some huge progress. He recently revealed that he has lost nearly 200 pounds, but he’s not done yet. His next goal? To lose 100 more pounds so he can go skydiving with his wife, Bunnie Xo, in Sweden.
Let’s take a closer look at Jelly Roll’s weight loss story, what’s motivating him, and how he’s sharing it all with his fans.
A Big Transformation — Nearly 200 Pounds Down
During an appearance on Pat McAfee’s Big Night AHT show, Jelly Roll looked much healthier and full of energy. The crowd cheered as he shared a personal milestone.
“I started at 540 pounds, and I was **357 pounds this morning, baby!” he said with a big smile and a little dance. The audience loved it.
That means he’s already lost around 183 pounds, which is no small achievement. But Jelly isn’t stopping there. He proudly announced, “I’m gonna lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby!”
Why He Needs to Lose 100 More Pounds
To go skydiving for the first time, most people do a tandem jump — this means they are strapped to an experienced instructor, and both use one parachute. However, there are weight limits for this kind of jump, usually around 200 to 250 pounds per person.
So, for Jelly Roll to join his wife on this adventure, he still needs to lose about 107 more pounds to reach the safe limit. Even though the rules may vary slightly in different countries, most places follow similar safety guidelines because of the equipment used.
How It All Started
Jelly Roll started his weight loss journey around 15 months ago. At the time, he had a simple goal — to be fit enough to complete a 5K race. That goal kicked off a full lifestyle change. He began eating better, exercising regularly, and even kept up with his routine while traveling for shows.
No Secrets, No Gatekeeping
One thing fans love about Jelly Roll is that he’s completely open about how he’s losing weight. He shares what he eats, his workouts, and even his daily struggles. He often posts videos of himself working out, walking, and staying motivated.
He even started something fun called Jelly Roll’s Losers Run Club, where he shares updates about his fitness journey and encourages fans to join in.
Skydiving With His Wife — The Ultimate Motivation
Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, has been by his side through everything. Now, the idea of skydiving together is giving him extra motivation to push forward.
Skydiving isn’t just a thrill — for Jelly, it’s a way to celebrate his new health, his love for Bunnie, and all the hard work he’s put in over the past year.
