Jelly Roll Lists The Simple Things He's Been Doing To Lose Weight On Jimmy Kimmel Live
On Thursday, April 24th, Jelly Roll, whose full name is Jason Bradley DeFord, was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel's popular late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, to discuss his upcoming projects and more.
However, it's hard to sit down for a conversation with the country artist and not bring up his amazing weight loss, as he's transformed and been very open about his journey of losing nearly 200 pounds over the last few years.
After the singer took his seat to speak with the show's host, Jimmy told him, "You look more fit every single time I see you."
"What's going on?" Jimmy asked the Stage Coach headliner.
Jason admitted that he's tried to come up with a "cool" answer for all the work he's been doing since announcing he was turning his health around in 2016. However, the methods he's using to shed numerous pounds are simple and accessible.
"Listen, I've been thinking about ways to make it sound cool, but I can't," he said.
"I'm eating a lot of protein and vegetables and walking. That's what I'm doing."
Before his late-night interview, the "Son Of A Sinner" singer made a shocking and encouraging announcement in early April, telling podcaster Pat McAfee at a live event that he started his weight loss journey at 540 pounds and currently weighs around 357 pounds.
As he revealed to Jimmy, he's "approaching the 200-pound mark," joking that he's lost "an entire Jimmy Kimmel" in weight.
Jelly Roll Shares His Goals For When He Loses More Weight In The Future
While discussing his impressive weight loss, the 40-year-old told Jimmy about some of the wild and exciting things he hopes to accomplish when he loses a certain amount of weight, adding that his goal was to one day be under 250 pounds.
"To do all the fun stuff in life, you've got to be under 250 [pounds]," he explained.
"So my goal [is], I want to skydive, I want to ride a roller coaster, I want to ride a bull. I know it sounds crazy. I want to wrestle an alligator. I've got a list of things that I want to do."
These sentiments may not be surprising to some of the country musician's longtime fans, as last month, while speaking with Pat Mcaffe, he mentioned that one of the very first things he wanted to do when he dropped another 100 pounds was go skydiving in Sweden with his wife, Bunnie, who has been very vocal about how proud she is of her husband on social media.
Jelly Roll's fans are proud of him, too, as on one of his most recent exercise-related Instagram posts, fans flooded the comments section to send him words of encouragement.
"You are looking so great," wrote a fan.
"You are so awesome," added another. "Keep it up."
His conversation with the comedian is an excellent reminder to viewers that sometimes, simply getting in some exercise, extra protein, more water, and less junk can impact their health more than they may think.
