The slender singer, who has previously refused to confirm exactly how many pounds she’s lost, admitted to losing at least 80lbs! She even revealed one of her work-out secrets… basketball!

J-Hud also broke her silence regarding the 2008 murders of her mother, brother, and nephew. In the emotional segment, Jennifer touched on how she got back on her feet in the wake of her family tragedy.

?I try to do everything to say, ?OK, will my mother like this? Will she be pleased? Will she be proud of that? How do I know she?s happy and she?s smiling down at me from heaven??? said the tearful songstress. ?And that?s what I try to go by and walk by.?

The 29-year-old Grammy winner detailed how she could hear the voice of her mother and brother telling her to ?knock it off? and snap out of her funk. Jennifer managed to get through the interview, although she did shed a few tears and admits it’s still a difficult time for her.
