Country singer Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, has amazed fans by revealing he’s lost 200 pounds. The Nashville native shared the news during an inspiring speech to the Tennessee Titans, urging them to build bonds and strengthen their team. “Find a partner, build a relationship, build community — that will translate to the field,” he said.

The singer, once weighing 540 pounds, now weighs around 357. His goal is to lose 100 more pounds so he can go skydiving with his wife in Sweden. “The hardest part was breaking my food addiction,” he admitted. “Once I committed, the progress snowballed.”

His journey proves that change is possible at any stage of life. As one fan put it: “He invests in his community and inspires others — inside and out.”
