Jelly Roll has lost over 200 pounds since 2022 when he started his weight loss journey.
He has achieved some important goals and this time he is not waiting for the New Year to achieve another exciting goal.
The Grammy-nominated singer said in his YouTube vlog that he wants to participate in the New York City Marathon next year.
He announced that he plans to run for office alongside his friend of more than two decades, Greg Sanford.
Jelly Roll said enthusiastically, “We decided that we should do something together, isn’t that right, big G?”
Greg joined in, “That’s right!” as the singer said, “Tell him what we’re going to do, Greg.”
He revealed: “We’re running the New York Marathon.”
The artist added passionately, “The New York [expletive] Marathon. Next year, dog. We accomplished a goal for a year, honey. We’re here again. We’re out for a walk right now because we’re talking to all of you, but the truth is, we can’t get the sweat in the dog anymore.
Jelly Roll and Greg have been working together for a while to be each other’s training and accountability buddies to stay on track for their goals.
Greg opened up about his own struggles with his weight, saying during the vlog, “I started at 425 pounds. I lost 238 pounds. I got complacent and am now at about 283 pounds. I’m about to get rid of it.”
Jelly Roll said Greg was his inspiration behind his massive weight loss.
He shared, “So listen, when Greg started losing weight, I was still 1,000 pounds and he showed up every week and tried to encourage me to lose weight. It was watching Greg lose weight that inspired me.”
