How Much Did Jelly Roll Weigh Before He Began His Weight Loss Journey? Inside 200-Lb Transformation
Jelly Roll is an inspiration to many people walking in all aspects of life. The country star’s determination and perseverance not only led him to live a better life away from crime, but it also led him to better health and an inspiring weight loss journey.
The “Son of a Sinner” singer has lost almost 200 pounds, leading some fans to wonder how much he weighed before he embarked on his weight loss journey.
How Much Did Jelly Roll Weigh?
The Tennessee native shared his initial weight during an October 2024 appearance on the “Joe Rogan” podcast while celebrating his 100-pound weight loss.
“Joe, I was up to 550-something pounds. I was having to weigh myself at meat places,” Jelly Roll revealed at the time.
How Much Weight Has Jelly Roll Lost?
Jelly Roll has opened up about his ongoing weight loss journey over the years and has been transparent about his addiction to food.
“I used to walk in like a drug addict. I would scan the room and make a count of everything I could eat, like the Snickers,” Jelly Roll shared during his October 2024 appearance on the “Joe Rogan” podcast. “The other day I was in my green room and somebody was in the room and they picked up a piece of candy and said, ‘Did you want one of these?’”
The “Need a Favor” artist declined the offer and was happy to realize he “didn’t even know” the sweet treats were in the room.
Jelly Roll initially lost 200 pounds in 2016, but gained most of the weight back by 2018, while still trying to get his eating habits under control.
As 2022 came to an end, Jelly Roll shared his resolutions for the following year that he wanted to follow for the rest of his life.
“I’m going to spend the first couple months of the year just focusing on family and health,” the “Wild Ones” artist told Music Mayhem at the time. “I lost some weight this year in 2022, but in 2023 I wanna finally conquer the demon. I don’t leave for a big tour until about the middle of the year. So, I plan on taking the first half of the year to tighten the album up and get some work in.”
By October 2024, the “I Am Not Okay” singer pridefully announced that he dropped 100 pounds.
“I feel this good just losing 100 pounds. I’m 420-something now. I’m walking around different, talking different, my shoulders are setting different, I’m moving different,” Jelly told Joe Rogan at the time.
In April 2025, Jelly Roll weighed in at 357 pounds, almost 200 pounds less than his heaviest weight.

In addition to maintaining a fitness routine, Jelly has changed his diet with the help of his chef, Ian Larios.
In order to properly heal his gut, the superstar eats two meals a day and fasts one day out of the week. To make his food enjoyable, Jelly Roll eats healthy versions of his favorite dishes.
While on tour, Chef Larios makes two meals a day for Jelly Roll, like the highly requested healthy Waffle House breakfast bowl.
“We’re making our own hash browns. We grate these hash browns, drain it, and we’re cook them with some Wagyu beef salad, chicken sausage, bell peppers, bone broth packed with proteins,” Chef Larios said in the March 2025 Instagram video. “Now, we’re gonna air fry our potatoes, flip them, just mixing in the sauerkraut now carbs, it’s got proteins. It’s packed with probiotics.”
