Jelly Roll’s Next Goal Is Bigger Than 200-Lb Weight Loss
Jelly Roll started on a weight loss journey a few years ago. He’s lost 200 pounds already, but his next goal is even bigger. After finding success in his career, the singer turned his attention to his health. Keep reading to find out more about his stunning weight loss and what’s next.
Jelly Roll Explains Why He Refuses To Use Ozempic
Jelly Roll weighed over 500 pounds at his heaviest. At that point, he knew he had to do something or his worst fear would come true. He dropped a lot of weight during his Beautifully Broken tour.
But he did it the old-school way. At a time when even thin celebrities turn to weight loss drugs, Jelly Roll said absolutely not. But it wasn’t for moral reasons. He had a legit concern that Ozempic and other weight loss drugs would ruin his life.
So, despite “every doctor” telling him to try it, he stood his ground. He shared why on his wife, Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast. “I just was afraid of it … As a singer, few things scare me more than acid reflux. Like, you’ll watch me get up out of a bed, I’ll burp and wake up panicked and go take something for it. You know? Because that stuff will just rip the vocal cords,” he said.
But he doesn’t shame anyone else who uses weight loss drugs. The singer added, I want to be very clear that I’ve done it naturally, but it wasn’t out of stubbornness or trying to prove a point. If it helps you, go get it. But for me, I was just petrified of the side effects of it.”
How He Lost The Weight
Jelly Roll has lost about 200 pounds without the help of Ozempic. How did he do it? The “Need a Favor” singer made a huge lifestyle change. He hired a chef and trainer to go on tour with him to help him stay on track during his tours.
But the biggest change was his relationship with food. His mother nicknamed him “Jelly Roll” as a child in Antioch, Tennessee, because he was chubby even then.
“Nobody in my house ever had [a healthy relationship with food], so that was the hard part, really fighting that demon at first and getting into that discipline and that commitment,” he told PEOPLE magazine in 2024.
“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,” the singer said about getting his food addiction under control.
Jelly Roll’s Next Goal Is Bigger Than 200-Lb Weight Loss
Jelly Roll spent the summer traveling through Europe on a scooter while on tour with Post Malone. Now he’s on a solo leg in Australia. The “Son of a Sinner” singer showed off his drastic weight loss at the airport after arriving Down Under.

While he’s lost nearly half his body weight, he’s not done yet. After he reaches his weight loss goal, he plans to have skin removal surgery. Then his dream is to flaunt his abs on the cover of a men’s magazine. David Beckham has been on the cover several times showing off his sculptured abs and muscles.
“I wanna be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026. That’s my new goal. I wanna have one of the biggest transformations,” he said on his wife’s podcast.
From the looks of things, Jelly Roll is on track to meet that goal. Tell us in the comments what you think of his ultimate weight loss goal.
