Jelly Roll Reaches Huge New Milestone in Weight Loss Journey, Shares Next Goal

Jelly Roll is inching ever closer to a big milestone in his weight loss journey. The former “American Idol” season 23 artist-in-residence shared how he’s hit a number on the scale that he hasn’t seen in decades.

Jelly Roll Celebrates His Next Weight Loss Milestone

During an interview on the July 24 episode of the “What’s Your Story” podcast, Jelly Roll shared how his ongoing weight loss journey has him approaching a number he hasn’t seen since middle school.

Jelly Roll shared the milestone while discussing his preparation for his upcoming appearance at SummerSlam.

“A lot of my food addiction … was about the young man,” he shared. “Because I got fat really young. Like, really, really young.”

“I was over 300 pounds coming out of middle school. I’m gonna be under 300 pounds for the first time since middle school the night I walk to that ring at SummerSlam,” the singer explained.

He added, “That’s an exclusive here. I haven’t said that nowhere. My goal, for the first time since middle school, I will be under 300 pounds … for the first time since I was … we’re talking about literally now, 30 years.”

Jelly Roll has some big plans ahead, aiming for a Men’s Health magazine cover in the next year. He also noted, “I want to do a shirt off cover in ’27.”

Though he admits he’s “a long way from that,” the goal is in his sights, and he also has plans to get surgery to remove excess skin.

“It’s interfering with me and my daily functions,” he explained. “It’s not even an aesthetic thing. Now that I can take my shirt off and not have saggy [expletive], that’s going to be a big bonus! You know what I mean?”

Jelly Roll Shared Adventurous Goals After Losing Weight

During an April 24 interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Jelly Roll shared some of the more adventurous bucket list items that he can’t wait to check off.

In regards to his weight loss, he noted, “I do have a number in mind. For the non-fluffy people in the world, I would give y’all some educational course here — to do all the fun stuff in life, you’ve got to be under 250.”

Jelly Roll’s goals run on the more exciting side, as he shared, “I want to skydive, I want to ride a roller coaster. I want to ride a bull.”

The singer added, “I know it sounds crazy. I want to wrestle an alligator. I’ve got a list of things that I want to do.”
