Jelly Roll’s Inspiring Weight-Loss Goals: He’s ‘Determined to Get Down Below 300’

Jelly Roll has lost more than 70 pounds in his weight loss journey and is ‘determined to get down below 300,’ an insider exclusively tells Life & Style.

The 39-year-old “Son of a Sinner” singer, who once tipped the scales at more than 500 pounds, competed in a 5K race in Pasadena, California, on May 7. The former half-tonner isn’t slowing his roll and will run in an even more challenging half marathon later this year, part of his plan to drop another 100 pounds. A friend said his effort was a middle finger to haters who recently spurred Jelly to leave social media because of all the taunts about his weight.
