Jelly Roll reveals huge new weight loss goal after shedding 100lbs

Jelly Roll has unveiled a new health and fitness goal. 

In a conversation with wife Bunnie XO on her Dumb Blonde podcast, the 40-year-old music artist said he wants to be on the cover of Men’s Health magazine.

‘I wanna be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026. That’s my new goal,’ he proclaimed on the upcoming December 16 episode.

The star declared: ‘I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.’

He added that he was ‘so glad’ to be having the discussion in front of an audience.

‘I did this publicly for a reason. I wanna be honest about my struggles with it with people,’ he said.

The hitmaker, born Jason Bradley DeFord, explained about body image and fame, ‘I think that people that become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they’re kind of ashamed. 

‘They’re so ashamed that they go hide and lose the weight, and then they come back out [and] they don’t really know how to interact with the world looking different or feeling different, and they kinda gotta find their whole new way. 

‘I wanted to lose it in front of everybody. I wanted to talk about it.’

‘Jelly is on the couch this week!’ Bunnie, real name Alyssa DeFord, teased with TikTok and Instagram followers on Sunday.

In a snippet from the episode, Jelly emphasized about losing weight in the spotlight, ‘I wanna bring people along with me…I didn’t become successful because of my weight. I became successful in spite of it.’

He also acknowledged, ‘I somehow managed to be this successful with carrying 550 pounds. That’s insane.’

Bunnie affirmed her husband, sharing, ‘I think it’s awesome that people get to watch your transformation too because they get to feel like it’s not alone. 

‘And people need that right now because in a world where there’s so many surgeries, there’s a shot you can take, which again, we’re not – I wish I could take the shot – I can’t. It makes me sick. But there’s so much that you can do in the shadows, and instead, you’re just like, “This is me. Here it is. This is my cross to bear, and will you help me carry it?”’

Jelly Roll announced in October that he had surpassed his weight-loss goal of losing 100 pounds as he prepared for a 5K race.

That same month Bunnie revealed she had been ‘micro-dosing’ the weight-loss medication tirzepatide, but was still ‘hungry as s**t.’

The country star’s spouse admitted she hadn’t yet experienced any appetite suppression, but felt side effects, confessing: ‘I s**t my brains out.’

She lifted the lid on her experience with the drug on an episode of her podcast.

Tirzepatide is anti-diabetic medication used to help treat type 2 diabetes as well as help aid in weight loss.
