Jelly Roll crushes 5K marathon despite being barely able to “walk a mile” before weight loss journey

The country singer opened up about his health and struggles with addiction.

Country singer Jelly Roll is celebrating a major victory on his weight loss journey - completing a 5K run. 
Just months ago, Jelly Roll admitted he could barely walk a mile, according to Parade Magazine.

The 39-year-old singer, known for hits like “Wild Ones,” shared his accomplishment at the 2 Bears 5K, hosted by comedians Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer. 

“I felt really, really good about it,” Jelly Roll said, reflecting on his progress.

Not only did the country singer finish the race, but he also shed a significant amount of weight during training. “Lost like 50 to 70-something pounds,” he revealed.

Inspired by his own journey, Jelly Roll hopes to motivate others. “The coolest thing is how many people stopped to tell us they were motivated,” he shared.
