How Jessica Simpson Lost Weight (and Kept It Off)

Jessica Simpson can easily fit into her Daisy Dukes again after her amazing body transformation, but how did this mother of two shed the pounds and successfully keep them at bay? The routine is not for the faint of breath. PHOTOS: Evidence of Jessica Simpson's Amazing Body Transformation “I work out five days a week: three days with a trainer, doing a mix of strength training and cardio, and then I do cardio on my own the other two days,” says the 34-year-old fashion mogul to InStyle. “Somehow I make it work, but I’ve slowed down since my wedding.” According to the fashion magazine, Simpson gained 70 pounds from her first pregnancy, sparking unwanted media attention. Despite the scrutiny, Simpson had support from one important person in her life. “My husband [Eric Johnson] and I were looking at old pictures recently, and I asked him, ‘Babe, why didn’t you tell me to put the brownie down?’ He said, ‘You look great.’ He’s always loved every curve on my body,” says Simpson. “And we’ve always had a healthy sex life,” she adds.

But I didn’t have a weight goal; I just wanted to look healthy.” Simpson married the 34-year-old former NFL player in 2014. See the before and after pics of Simpson’s weight loss below:
