Jelly Roll makes shocking weight loss confession
Jelly Roll gets real about slipping off track after months of intense weight loss effort
Jelly Roll spoke openly about the ups and downs of his ongoing weight loss transformation in a candid video posted to YouTube.
The American rapper, who had reached over 500 lbs at his heaviest, admitted he recently gained 12 lbs after being sidelined by an injury and stepping back from workouts.
The Son of a Sinner hitmaker confessed that things started to slip after he allowed himself to enjoy the holiday season.
He stated, “We hit the goal, and it was right before the holidays, so I was like, ‘You know what, man, I've been working hard for the last three years losing this weight."
He went on to add, "I'm going to enjoy the holidays.’ I had a big Thanksgiving meal, I had a big birthday meal, I ate a big Christmas meal. Kinda got off the rails and I broke my collarbone...a few days before Christmas."
Moreover, he added, “I have, to some degree, lost my way. I am scared to [weigh in]. I feel really fat, I feel really bloated, I feel like the scales are going to let me down. Avoiding weighing in has been the problem.”
On camera, he eventually stepped on the scale, confirming a 12 lbs gain, but also doubled down on his long-term goals of shedding more weight and chasing milestones like a marathon finish and a magazine cover moment.
“I want to get these last 40 or 50 pounds off… I just believe there's a story that a guy can go from 560 lbs to a shirt off picture,” he added.
Despite setbacks, Jelly Roll later reached a major milestone, landing a Men’s Health cover after dropping an incredible 275 lbs overall, marking a major turnaround in his transformation journey.
