Jelly Roll is reveling in the success of his efforts as he attended this year’s Country Music Awards with his wife, Bunnie XO. This appearance marked his first since announcing a remarkable weight loss of 100 pounds in the last year.
At the event, Jelly Roll was seen alongside Bunnie and fellow country artist Megan Moroney. While the couple coordinated in black attire on the red carpet, Jelly Roll chose a more relaxed outfit after performing onstage, wearing a black shirt and matching pants topped with a grey button-up and adorned with a thick silver chain.
The last year has been significant for Jelly Roll, not just professionally but also in terms of his physical and mental health, which he has prioritized. He shared in a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, “I’m great, I’m down like 120 pounds now. I’ve been kicking ass on this tour. We’re living, man. It’s been really cool to see the boys rally behind me.”
Detailing Jelly Roll’s transformative journey, his dietician Ian Larios explained the sustainable lifestyle changes that have contributed to his weight loss. Larios emphasized the importance of engaging in enjoyable sports and healthier eating habits, stating, “We’re taking away the oil and the batter from it, we’re still having a high protein meal.” He demonstrated a lower-calorie twist on fried chicken and shared some of the nutritious snacks Jelly Roll has been enjoying.
Jelly Roll expressed his excitement about his progress, teasing fans for the next year: “Next year when y’all see me, you won’t recognize me. I’m going to get under a pile of weights in a way that I never have.”
This inspiring journey highlights the power of determination and the positive impact of prioritizing health. Jelly Roll’s commitment to personal and professional growth is evident, and his story serves as a motivating example for others looking to make similar changes in their lives. As he continues to thrive, there’s a hopeful anticipation for his future achievements, both on and off the stage.
