Country singer Jelly Roll has lost more than 200 pounds since transforming the way he eats.
But the first-ever artist-in-residence on “American Idol” isn’t the only member of his family on a weight loss journey.
Jelly’s wife Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alyssa Deford, is sharing her own quest to get healthy with fans.
The 45-year-old podcaster, model, and social media influencer just posted a video on Instagram that shows the hard work she’s been putting in at the gym for the past six months.
In the post, she writes, “24 weeks. 6 months. 168 days. And not one single excuse.
I started this cut at 162.3 lbs and 35.4% body fat! 👀 I had to eat a high fat diet to prepare my body for ivf & lemme tell you, my body loved it. It latched onto every frickin bit of it and wouldn’t let go.
So, I had one mission: strip the fat, build the muscle, and finally see what happens when I start working out because I WANT to, not bc I had to.
I called my girl Lisa @lisa_marie_huntz & said “I’m sick of myself” & was ready to dedicate myself to this lifestyle, fully & whole heartedly. And the rest is history.”
How Bunnie XO Transformed Her Body and Got Stronger
In the post, Bunnie XO lays out for followers exactly what she did and what the result has been so far.
She wrote, “Here’s what happened when I changed my mindset::
💪 +10 lbs of lean muscle built (yes, during a cut which is insane.)
🔥 –12.6 lbs of fat gone —byeeee.
⚡ Body fat dropped from 35.4% → ~28% & let’s just say it was one of my hardest battles.
🏋️♀️ Strength- strongest I’ve ever been.
📊 Science-backed: every InBody scan proved I was moving closer to my goals & I do them once a month.
Coming from a girl who fought eating disorders her entire life, I can proudly say I am mastering my macros w/ the help of my guy @recompclinic
I nailed refeed days, and even treated my period weeks as metabolic maintenance resets.”
Jelly Roll has also been open about his process.
The “Hard Fought Hallelujah” singer told Jimmy Kimmel, “I’ve been thinking of ways to make it sound cool, but I can’t. I’m eating a lot of protein, vegetables and walking. That’s what I’m doing.”
Bunnie XO Says Journey Is About Getting ‘Stronger’ Not ‘Smaller’
Bunnie XO and Jelly roll have been traveling together through Europe as Jelly co-headlines with Post Malone
And both are looking slimmer and healthier.
Bunnie explained in her post about her journey that the key has been consistency.
She wrote, “And while I was doing all that, life never pressed pause. IVF cycles, hormone swings, stress, work, travel, tour. exhaustion — it all came for me. But here’s the thing: I didn’t fold. I adjusted, pivoted, & kept showing up for myself.
This wasn’t about getting “smaller.” It was about getting stronger, sharper, leaner, and mentally bulletproof.
The scale went down. The body fat went down. The lean mass went up. But the biggest transformation was the woman inside who proved to herself that no matter what life throws at her — she’s unshakable. 🥹🫶🏼
Super excited to see another 6 months from now 💪🏻”
