Lil' Kim plays volleyball in prison to lose weight

[MaryJane]

LIL' KIM has started playing volleyball in a bid to shed the weight she has piled on in prison.

The rapper admits she has been chomping cookies and junk food available to her at Pennsylvania's Federal Detention Center and now has to shed the pounds before her release.

She says, "It's very easy to lose consciousness of your weight. When you're in here, you can't really see yourself gaining weight. When I first got here, I gained nine pounds in a month. You're a little depressed and stressed when you first get here."

But now Kim, real name KIMBERLY JONES, has found a way of staying trim behind bars - playing volleyball.

She explains, "I'm on the volleyball team... And I'm on the winning team. "It's good because that gives me a lot of exercise."
