Sean Kingston has lost 40 pounds and wants to lose another 20
Sean Kingston plans on becoming more healthy and fitter with a new lifestyle regime, after avoiding death in a jet ski accident in May.
The singer was hospitalised for almost one month after crashing his jet ski into a bridge near his Miami home.
He has since made a full recovery and Kingston reveals the headline-grabbing incident has made him thankful for his second chance at life - and it's inspired him to get healthy.
The Beautiful Girls hitmaker, who stands tall at six foot, three inches, admits he was around 315 pounds at his heaviest. He has already dropped 45 pounds in recent weeks and he's aiming to shed another 20 to achieve his 'ideal weight'.
In a MTV special, which aired in the US on Tuesday, he says: "I shed like, 45 pounds and I've been working out everyday... I've been really getting my healthiness on.
"I do the bicycle, I do the treadmill, basketball, and I just gotta keep it up and lose more weight because it's easy to gain weight when you're in the studio. When I first started out it was all the late night eating, carbs and all that, but I've been cutting all of that out. (Now) I don't eat after six and... I feel a lot better.
"I got a trainer, he comes over. But my goal is just to get healthy in terms of being the ideal weight for my height. I got like, 20 more pounds to go."
He also admitted in the interview that he knows that the accident could have ended in tragedy had he not thrown up his arm in time to shield his face.
"All I remember, just for me being quick (sic) and just to put my hand up and block my face and I put my hand up and that's how I shattered my wrist because the impact was so strong."
Kingston insists that he is now '100 per cent' better and he's relieved his female companion, who was a passenger on the jet ski, escaped pratically unscathed.
He adds: "She went into the hospital for two hours. All she had was like a little headache from the jerk, but she didn't really get no (sic) injuries."
