When Girl Meets 30

Grammy Winner Jill Scott – How She Lost 63 Pounds

July 1, 2011 By Erin Kennedy 1 Comment

 
 
The 39-year-old Grammy winner, singer and actress, Jill Scott has lost 63 pounds over the last 2 years to reveal a healthy and svelt body.  It was after she gave birth to her son Jett 2 years ago that prompted her to try to lose the extra weight.

‘There’s a world of discovery in his eyes, and I want to be around to enjoy it,’ she says.

Jett is Jill’s first child by her ex-boyfriend drummer Lil’ John Roberts who she split with a few months after giving birth.

The singer credits her weight loss (new science-backed research) to a healthy lifestyle, starting with 3 low-fat meals a day, and three 60 minute cardio and strength training sessions three times a week.

“I’d walk up nine steps and be out of breath!” said the 5-foot-6 star in the new issue of Us Weekly, out now. Scott, (whose new album, The Light of the Sun, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 this week), weighed 263 pounds pre-slim down. “But I’ll never be a stick figure.”

“We have fun!” she says about their routine of kickboxing, boxing, and her favorite — biking outdoors, which she brings Jett along for.
