Country star Luke Combs says he’s 'down 30 lbs' during elk hunting trip
Luke Combs revealed his 30-lb weight loss during an elk hunting trip, saying getting healthy has been his main goal as a father of three sons.
Country music star Luke Combs is celebrating an impressive 30-lb weight loss during a recent hunting trip in Utah.
Earlier this week, Combs was seen in a vlog posted on the Leupold Optics YouTube page. "I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time," Combs said at the start of the video, before revealing his weight loss.
"I'm down 30-lbs since last time. You probably can't tell because the camera adds 30-lbs, but I am down a little bit from last time," he continued.
The "Fast Car" singer said that getting healthy has been his "main goal."

"But this has been one of the big motivators for me. To come here, you know, I got up and down with the guys in New Mexico last year enough to get by, but I can always be better. I just really wanted to be able to hold my own out here and not half a– anything. I want to earn it," Combs continued.
In the vlog, Combs noted that his main goal for the hunting trip was to shoot, preferably with a bow, and tag a mature elk. At the end of the vlog, the country music star was not able to kill an elk with a bow, but was successful with a rifle.
In 2022, Combs sat down for an interview with Apple Music and admitted that having kids was a big factor for him in getting his weight down.

"This having a kid thing has really messed up my head on this thing in the best way. I want to be around, dude. Do you know what I mean?" he began.
The "Beautiful Crazy" singer said that his genetics played a large part in his inability to lose weight.
"It was always something that’s bugged me … especially when you’re younger. You’re like, ‘Man, I just got a horrible genetic dice roll on this thing.’ You start to realize that almost even more when you’re older — and it’s like, not that I don’t pig out because I do pig out," Combs said. "I’m not trying to say it’s not my fault, because it is in a lot of ways. But also, I got to this point where I’m like, man, I’d really love to trim down. And it’s so hard for me to do that."

In 2023, Combs was a guest on Joe Rogan's podcast and reiterated that his weight has been a life-long struggle, but he was determined to accomplish this goal for himself.
"Because there’s this thing that I wanna accomplish that is solely up to me, nobody else can do it for me, nobody did this to me. I want so badly to conquer that, and I will," he said.
