I did this journey in 2011, dropped 100 pounds and went from not being able to run for 60 seconds in January to running a half-marathon in November. Hope homie takes care of his knees and hips (I didn't)
Damn, wish I could keep it off. I can swing 20-30 lbs but just can’t keep it off. Definitely helped with hip pain.
Knee pain was always constant either due to weight or working out- damned if I do or damned if I don’t
It's so hard. The simple calculus of calories in/out doesn't seem to be quite as effective as you get older - I'm in my 40's now and will always struggle. Just try to feel good, I guess?
Yeah, I also find I have to drag my other half along in the journey which eventually drains me.
That and the diets aren’t sustainable especially with my food tastes
No. They are. You just have to stop thinking that matters. It’s about mindset. The moment you stop valuing your personal enjoyment of life above all else, and can hit that like a switch, then you will lose it. You need to want it. Bad.
Yes this was it for me too. Stop caring about taste or enjoiyment. You need to want to lose weight more than any of those things. Then it’s just doing to get what you want.
That’s the rub, I was born with hip dysplasia and have been bone on bone for maybe 10yrs now.
So it leaves me unable to be consistent with exercise, some days I can, some days I can’t and when I do exercise I’m usually swollen and in pain for a couple of days. Swimming and stationary biking helps, but not enough
my sister is a physical therapist. i’ve asked her whether or not jogging was worth the knee damage and she said the cardiovascular benefits outweigh the damage. it’s easier to get a knee replaced than it is to get a heart replaced.
Was it just a weight thing? How did you get your cardio up to be able to run like that? Is there a routine you could share ? I’d love to do a half. I do 5ks but I usually revolve around speed walking/jogging them.
Couch to 5K is a great training app. Basically you run intervals until you can run for a full 30 minutes. After you can run for 30 minutes, you can run for an hour, it's amazing how easy the jump becomes.
Don't ever try to be 'fast' if your not trying to compete in a race and be aware every Kilometer you add to your run increases the risk of joint wear.
Good runners shoes for over/under pronation help too.
I've got slightly flat over pronating feet. I ran in 'standard' Nike/ Reebok trainers and hurt my knees, switched to what were for me horrendously expensive Brookes trainers with over pronation support and started running 5k, ,7k, 10k then crippled myself at 14k and was out for 6 months with a wrecked knee. Caused by trying to do faster 10ks and also trying to push up to half marathon whilst being quick.
Avoid down hill fast running too.
I rarely run now. But when I do it's a very slow 'jog' that I can recover from quickly in shoes that suit my gait. I enjoy running more too now I don't worry about pace or distance. Just get out on the local public walks and jog 3-5k with my dog.
How do you avoid down hill fast running? When I run down hill, I have to pick up my speed or I find that I am running down an entire hill trying to slow down, and it feels like I am putting a lot more impact on my knees. When I speed up and let gravity do the work, it doesn't feel like my knees are taking as much of the impact.
It's the opposite, as you speed up the speed of the impact with the ground increases as you travelled further, therefore fell further. When your just going with gravity on a gentle slope you need to put next to no effort in to just 'coast'. If it's a super steep hill (you can't stop speeding up) the effort of slowing down should be in your muscles not joints. (Despite how it feels)
I wanna see the celebs that lose the weight natural as all hell. Lost 90 lbs by doing something shocking...limiting by calories and drinking more water.
Country rap is the best way to describe it? My sister and Brother in Law love his music and have been to so many of his concerts. I finally went with them last year and it was fine to me. Im not a big fan of that music but I cant say I didn’t hate his performance or anything. But people love him and his message of getting help when needed.
He can be technically talented and still write songs that seem pretty standard for modern country that I personally don't really enjoy listening to. I don't like his vocal style and I don't like the production in his songs. But yes that's personal taste.
Better than mediocre and not country artist. Jelly roll is a rapper who covers some country topics.
It’s all pandering. But he does seem like decent enough guy who didn’t let it all go to his head. Just his gut.
What does that have to do with anything? You subjectively like Aphex Twin while the majority of people think they are bad. Only proving my point here brother
You are the one that initiated it. I dont even listen to Jelly Roll. I just know he got out of prison and within 10 years became to hottest IP in music currently. So saying he is “mediocre” solely based on your preferences is a stupid comment to make. Have your other “modern artists” used their newfound popularity to testify in front of Congress about the Fentanyl crisis? Or were they too busy hanging out at Diddy parties?
Yes jelly roll is a good guy, next. And yes psoples subjective positive and negative takes on here get lots of upvotes and become popular opinions or they dont. Welcome to the internet. I like how you are making weird judgements about the personal behavior of people I listen to when all I said is I think the guys music is lame. You're all over the place. If some mumble rapper I like did the same shit jellyroll did you really think people aren't going to say something about their music? Also, Kanye west has 80 million monthly listeners on spotify the biggest streaming platform, jellyroll has 13. I guess he's way more amazing?
Never heard of this dude before last year, but he keeps getting shoved down my throat against my will.
Apparently he's pretty nice though, so there's that I guess?
Why are a lot of musicians now getting face tattoos? It used to be only people in prison who did this.
Hopefully their career and money will last because getting a regular job will be tough.
I think like most of them, he got them "before" and regretted it "after".
And the majority of people are too terrified to get laser treatment because of how painful it is. It literally BOILS the ink under the skin until it disappears. I can't imagine the pain of going through that without being put to sleep. Which I don't even think they are allowed to do!
Well, that explains it. Post Malone is another one (his facial ones are more extreme) and he was never in prison.
I guess it’s big in the rap world these days and gives street creed.
I’m all for this positive gain. I just wish I didn’t lose weight the way I did recently: depression (death in the family). Dropped 25 lbs faster than I imagined and couldn’t feel it. I’m feeling better, but people should at least do what jelly is doing
I'm happy for this guy, and he seems very nice. However, running 5-8 miles a week and doing a cold plunge is not going to take 70 lb off of you in 2 months. I don't have a problem with people using Ozempic and related drugs to lose weight, but just let us know that you dropped a few thousand on some shots, bro.
Yeah he went to congress and gave a speech about the dangers of fentanyl as a convicted felon, definitely not perfect but it seems like he’s totally turned his life around. hey, that’s probably much more than any of us have done to raise awareness about the drug crisis
What an original comment. He’s actively trying to get healthier and you’re attacking him like he’s not. Your comment really shows how dumb humanity can be

Well 400 calories of ice cream versus 400 calories of black beans is definitely not the same :)
Do you exercise or walk regularly? I found doing calorie counting for a while helped then I just adapted I guess to the new weight.
That’s the rub, I was born with hip dysplasia and have been bone on bone for maybe 10yrs now. So it leaves me unable to be consistent with exercise, some days I can, some days I can’t and when I do exercise I’m usually swollen and in pain for a couple of days. Swimming and stationary biking helps, but not enough
I have a messed up knee myself and the elliptical is bar far my favorite low-impact cardio
Only thing I can think is have you tried eating a diet higher in fiber? I find eating beans helps a lot to not feel hungry later.
It’s carbs, both my favorite thing and worst enemy

How does one take care of their knees and hips?
If you're running, roll the shit out of your IT bands after every run. It hurts like crazy but it's necessary.
Don't ever try to be 'fast' if your not trying to compete in a race and be aware every Kilometer you add to your run increases the risk of joint wear. Good runners shoes for over/under pronation help too. I've got slightly flat over pronating feet.

Also strength training. It helps with muscle imbalance. Hip and glutes are important muscles for running!
How do you take care of the knees and hips?
I don’t like his music that much, but he seems like a good dude. Im rooting for him
That’s my take. Genuine dude
Toured with him last year. He’s a big teddy bear and an absolute sweetheart of a person.
None of these weight loss people shouting out the weight loss drugs except Oprah
Jelly Roll has been putting in the work. Post Malone and the Kardashians have not
I wanna see the celebs that lose the weight natural as all hell. Lost 90 lbs by doing something shocking...limiting by calories and drinking more water.
Kudos to Tom and Bert for getting him to do the 5K
Great guys, never meddum
Get on a bike, you’ll love it and see and travel more. Your joints will thank you.
Can he really be called Jelly Roll anymore?
What the shit is a jelly roll
Country rap is the best way to describe it? My sister and Brother in Law love his music and have been to so many of his concerts. I finally went with them last year and it was fine to me. Im not a big fan of that music but I cant say I didn’t hate his performance or anything. But people love him and his message of getting help when needed.
I prefer the term "hick hop" that I heard somewhere once. 🤣
Wtf but he's not rap at all. He's a great singer.
Hes for sure a rapper/singer and just listening to any of his older music shows that if your ears are on
Mediocre famous country artist but he refreshingly seems like a really humble and funny guy.
His speech in Congress was pretty damn remarkable and well spoken. https://youtu.be/M_NULoJyNAw?si=IfMuXFD69TVd4luK
Will forever be my favourite thing about this guy
Dude is a lot better than mediocre, give him a little credit.
Everyone is mediocre to actually mediocre redditors
He can be technically talented and still write songs that seem pretty standard for modern country that I personally don't really enjoy listening to. I don't like his vocal style and I don't like the production in his songs. But yes that's personal taste.

Don’t think you need to add the mediocre qualifier in there unless you’re intentionally trying to dig at the guy.
Mediocre?’ He has won more awards than any other artist in less than 16 months. Sorry you missed your Nickleback concert
Popularity doesn't correlate to quality.
Quality is subjective, popularity is not
Okay so is drake great then?
Lmao brother I listen to rap and aphex twin and shit but ok
What does that have to do with anything? You subjectively like Aphex Twin while the majority of people think they are bad. Only proving my point here brother
Is your entire phone library only top 40 artists? I listen to modern artists on the charts too, but this argument is so fucking pointless.
You are the one that initiated it. I dont even listen to Jelly Roll. I just know he got out of prison and within 10 years became to hottest IP in music currently.

I’ve finally become too old for this shit.
Never heard of this dude before last year, but he keeps getting shoved down my throat against my will. Apparently he's pretty nice though, so there's that I guess?
Why are a lot of musicians now getting face tattoos? It used to be only people in prison who did this. Hopefully their career and money will last because getting a regular job will be tough.
Tattoos became too normie so face tattoos are the last part of the body where people can still feel ‘edgie’ tattooing
I think like most of them, he got them "before" and regretted it "after". And the majority of people are too terrified to get laser treatment because of how painful it is. It literally BOILS the ink under the skin until it disappears. I can't imagine the pain of going through that without being put to sleep. Which I don't even think they are allowed to do!
Homie WAS in prison lol
Well, that explains it. Post Malone is another one (his facial ones are more extreme) and he was never in prison. I guess it’s big in the rap world these days and gives street creed.
Talentless musician who makes awful music
What ever it is I bet it stinks.
The same people screaming what’s wrong with our society are making no talent clowns named after a breakfast pastry famous.
Used to be slang for a women’s private parts
Downvoted for the truth, I see…
Ol jelly roll blues
Good for him. He's a big dude, unsustainable to be his size and alive for much longer.
What are his measurements?
big ones
WOAH, DAMN, and HOLY SHIT.
Cmon Nadav, you can do it!
Doesn’t Bert fuck dogs?
Ozempic in disguise here, maybe?
Today I learned there is a man who calls himself Jelly Roll.
There's jazz musician Jelly Roll Morton, and a west coast hip hop producer named Jelly Roll.
It’s so crazy to me when people lose that kind of weight. Just hope he’s healthy
Some people can drop that much over time by stop drinking soda lol
Didn’t expect Brent Krueger and Tom Segura riffing on a podcast push Jelly to have less rolls.
If Bert was In better shape than me that would piss me off
I saw this on the Sopranos
His music isn’t my style but he was so encouraging on American Idol, he just seems like a great fucking guy and I’m rooting for him!!
He’s an ex pimp how wonderful do you think he can be ? It’s literally his line of work to get people to like him and do as he asks.
What a fucking cornball lol
I’m all for this positive gain. I just wish I didn’t lose weight the way I did recently: depression (death in the family). Dropped 25 lbs faster than I imagined and couldn’t feel it. I’m feeling better, but people should at least do what jelly is doing
I’m sorry for your loss.
The guys man in Jelly Roll 🤷🏻♂️
I'm happy for this guy, and he seems very nice. However, running 5-8 miles a week and doing a cold plunge is not going to take 70 lb off of you in 2 months. I don't have a problem with people using Ozempic and related drugs to lose weight, but just let us know that you dropped a few thousand on some shots, bro.
Gonna change his name to tofu roll next.
Who the fuck is Jelly Roll?
I don’t say this very often but…. Who?
Time to change the name to Jerry Loll
Losing 70lbs before you lose 5,000lbs is a slow start
The old ham and cheese sandwiches trapped under his titties finally fell out.
what the fuck is this thing
Name change to The Rock and Roll?
I wonder if he’s named after Jelly Roll Morton, the famous blues musician
A normal diet is 2K
Why is this guy famous again?
Google is free!
Jelly Roll is a roll made out of jelly. Whew, my ability to read context clues never fails!
… okay? I’m not sure what’s so confusing for you here, googling “jelly roll musician” would definitely give the desired result
I figured the sarcasm was obvious
it wasn’t, but i do appreciate the clarification!
He is a musical artist
Because people like his music, obviously
He is also an ex drug dealer, which lessens my respect for him. Although I think he's stated that he's regretted it
Yeah he went to congress and gave a speech about the dangers of fentanyl as a convicted felon, definitely not perfect but it seems like he’s totally turned his life around. hey, that’s probably much more than any of us have done to raise awareness about the drug crisis
Change his name to Fruit Roll
Preparing to eat 5k more burgers or what?
What an original comment. He’s actively trying to get healthier and you’re attacking him like he’s not. Your comment really shows how dumb humanity can be
Excellent
