As Jelly Roll’s fame continues to grow, his waistline continues to shrink as he fights to achieve his weight loss goals.
And the first-ever artist-in-residence on “American Idol” is already looking ahead to a long list of things he plans to do once he achieves his goal weight.
In the past, Jelly Roll has revealed that he started his weight loss journey at 540 pounds.
In a recent motivational speech he gave to his beloved NFL team, the Tennessee Titans, Jelly revealed that he’s lost 200 pounds so far.
The moment, captured in a video posted on the Titans’ Instagram account, shows Jelly Roll telling the Titans, “I rep for this team. I can’t get on the field but I’m getting close. I lost 200 pounds, I told the coach, ‘I’m getting a contract if I lose another 50!’” as the team cheered.
But while Jelly was joking about playing for the Titans, he does have a list of things he wants to do once he hits a certain magic number on the scale.
Jelly Roll Reveals ‘Bucket List’ of Daring Deeds
When Jelly Roll appeared as a guest on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” he revealed a bucket list of things he wants to do once he reaches his goal weight.
“I would guess that I have lost an entire Jimmy Kimmel,” he joked with the host.
“When do you stop? That’s the big question. Do you have a number in mind?” Jimmy asked Jelly.
“I do have a number in mind,” the “Hard Fought Hallelujah” singer revealed.
“So for the non-fluffy people in the world, I would give an educational course here. To do all the fun stuff in life, you gotta be under 250,” he said.
Jelly went on, “So my goal, I wanna sky dive, I want to ride a rollercoaster, I want to ride a bull. I know that sounds crazy. I want to wrestle an alligator. I’ve got a list of things that I want to do.”
“So let me get this straight,” replied Jimmy Kimmel. “You do all this hard work and you have all this discipline, losing all this weight. And then you want to do something that will potentially kill you?”
“Ain’t that great?” laughed Jelly Roll. “Listen, I was waiting on the heart disease to do it, so I might as well get it off and run straight into it the other way.”
Jelly Roll Admits His Weight Loss Strategy Isn’t ‘Super Cool’
While Jelly Roll may still have another 80 or 90 pounds to go to reach his goal weight, he’s already making some of his dreams come true.
In addition to his huge success touring with Post Malone and other artists, Jelly Roll has gotten in the ring to participate in WWE wrestling, which he is a huge fan of.
But while his life may be exciting, the singer admits his diet is not.
Jelly Roll told Jimmy Kimmel, “I’ve been thinking of ways to make it sound cool, but I can’t. I’m eating a lot of protein, vegetables and walking. That’s what I’m doing.”
