Jelly Roll shared another milestone update as he continues his weight-loss journey.

During Wednesday’s “Big Night Aht” event, the country music star told host Pat McAfee and those in attendance that he has lost nearly 200 pounds.

“I started at 540 pounds. I am 357 pounds this morning,” the 40-year-old said in a video posted by Entertainment Tonight. “I’m going to lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby!”

Jelly Roll has been open about his weight loss for more than a year, celebrating his accomplishments with his fans while hoping to inspire others.

Earlier this year, Billboard reported that the “Son of a Sinner” singer launched Jelly Roll’s Losers Run Club, a Facebook group to help others train and stay motivated as he plans to run in his second 5K event hosted by comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura in May.

Last year, the rapper-turned-country star also shared his training schedule as he participated in his first 5K event hosted by the comedians at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

Additionally, Jelly Roll is scheduled to be with Post Malone on a nationwide stadium tour that will kick off this spring.
