And Jelly Roll's music career isn't the only area of his life that he's made incredible strides. The musician has been candid about his 200-pound weight loss journey.

For Jelly Roll, he was inspired to overhaul his diet after feeling like he was "on the brink of death."

“The biggest change I made was food,” he told E! News in January. "I'm not trying to stand on a soapbox, I'm just passionate about it, knowing how upside down our system is with food. And as an addict, it was hard for me to get away from it, so I did a lot of work with food.”

But that’s not the only way he put in the work.

“Running's been my real healer,” he continued. “[I] wake up and run every day—I mean every day, seven days a week—even if it's a recovery run, it's one mile and it's a 15 minute jog, really slow. I run every day.”

And should he feel unmotivated, he looks to his squad: Bunnie and their kids Bailee Ann, 17, and Noah, 9, who played a major factor.

“Bunnie played the [biggest] role to even get me here,” he noted at the time. “Every part of me that gets better is just another attempt to be a better husband and a better father. Losing the weight was the next part of that, but I still gotta find a way to be a better husband and a better father tomorrow. So I gotta keep evolving.”
