Jelly Roll is Safetyvaluepushing toward the finish line of his 5K preparation with a 70-pound weight loss revelation.

"I'm probably down 70-something pounds," the "Wild Ones" performer told People in an interview published Saturday. The singer is participating in the 2 Bears 5K with Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura in California on May 7.

He attributed his weight loss to a combination of a rigorous exercise regimen and a good diet. "I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna (and) six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now," he said.

The Grammy-nominated country artist added that he feels "really good" and wants to keep the momentum going.

"I was thinking, I plan on losing another 100, 100-and-something (pounds). If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I'm going to feel like by the time I go on tour," Jelly Roll said, referring to his upcoming Beautifully Broken tour.

On the road with Jelly Roll will be openers Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay.

His 2024 run follows his 44-date Backroad Baptism tour a year prior, which featured acts including Elle King, Ashley McBryde, Chase Rice, and rappers Three Six Mafia, Struggle Jennings, Merkules and Yelawolf.

"My spirit as a person has changed so much recently," Jelly Roll told The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network, in 2023.

"I have love and forgiveness in my heart now. I still have so much work to do, but I hope that people see what I've accomplished and realize if I can do it, that it's possible for them, too."
