Jessica Simpson just released a new picture of herself with fiance Eric Johnson, and their daughter Maxwell Drew celebrating the Fourth of July!

She Tweeted, “Hope everyone had a great 4th!!” It was Maxwell’s first fireworks, at 2 months old. She’s a cutie! Look at those cheeks!

Jessica’s hiding her figure under a big red sweater with white stars. I’d be wearing a burlap sack if I had people scrutinizing my every pound, so good for her.

In other Jessica news – the singer turns 32 on the 10th!

Jessica Simpson shared a first look at her new baby girl, Maxwell Drew, on Twitter today.

The new mom, 31, posted the picture along with the caption, “Howdy friends!”

The little girl was born on May 1, to Jessica and her fiance, former NFL star Eric Johnson.

Not only is Jessica taking care of her new baby, she’s also focusing on dropping her baby weight. The star plans to get down to 130 pounds by the end of the year. She’s adamant on losing 50 pounds in five months.

She’s signed a $4 million deal with Weight Watchers to reach her 130lb goal. She’s getting help with fitness trainer Harley Pasternak – and following a strict diet.

Last week she tweeted the picture below, showing off her new – larger – curves.

Jessica Simpson is seriously sweating her multi-million dollar Weight Watchers contract- and the 50 lbs she needs to loose to fulfill it!

In Touch reports that Jessica is buckling a little under the pressure of losing so much weight and still trying to spend time with her newborn.  “She’s so emotional. She doesn’t want to leave her baby. Sometimes she just starts crying. It’s hard for her,” a friend of Simpson’s confessed to the magazine.

Even still, the singer has been seen making multiple trips to her West Hollywood gym, Bodiworx.  She seems determined to get to the goal, even though it might feel difficult or far away.  After all, Simpson reached 210 pounds during her pregnancy, and is only 5’3…and is contractually obligated to get down to 130, so let the gymming begin!

Jess should also take comfort that she’s not alone in her struggle to get back down to a healthy weight.  Other moms like fellow star Hilary Duff are also trying to loose their baby weight, and fast- but often times critical media scrutiny can make this progress harder or at least put more pressure on speedy weight loss.

Good luck, Jess!

Jessica Simpson stepped out over the weekend to take her daughter, Maxwell, for a walk. She Tweeted this picture, and said “Just taking a walk around the block… Street legal???”

Is that a pedometer between her tatta’s?

According to several sources, Jessica is majorly stressing over her multi-million contract with Weight Watchers to lose 50 pounds.

With the constant attention on Simpson’s body, it’s no surprise she’s reportedly stressed about trying to lose a rumored 50 pounds in just five months.

“She’s so emotional. She doesn’t want to leave her baby. Sometimes she just starts crying. It’s hard for her,” a friend of Simpson’s told In Touch of the multiple trips to the gym in recent weeks.

Simpson can at least take comfort in knowing she’s not alone on the journey back to the body she once had. Fellow new mommy Hilary Duff is also taking a healthy approach to weight loss, telling Us Weekly, “I’m working hard and I’m doing everything I can to lose the weight the right way.”

I think it’s great she’s working hard to lose 50 pounds, but that can’t possibly be all she gained. I would venture to say she
gained closer to 100 pounds. She looked like she almost doubled in size during her pregnancy.

Not that there’s anything WRONG with that. If anyone can lose the weight, it’s going to be Jessica. She’s never had a problem losing weight in the past (from what we’ve seen).

New mom Jessica Simpson is working on more than just motherhood…

In fact, she’s been seen around West Hollywood, gymming it up!  Maxwell Drew’s new mother is not only more resolved to get the weight off than everybody thought, but it seems as though she’s actually achieving some success!  Yeah, girl!

Not that I doubted she could loose the weight, but after unabashedly telling the media about her “buttered pop tart” diet, I had my doubts.  Still, Simpson was spotted out and about in Weho, with new workout pants and gear, ready to sweat and looking noticeably slimmer.  Simpson, 31, is trying!

Jessica Simpson is back at the gym – for the third time this week! Desperate to drop the 80lbs she gained during her pregnancy, Jessica is now in the clear to work out at the gym.

The blonde Texas beauty gave birth to her first child with her fiancé, former NFL star Eric Johnson, on May 1.

Beaming after the birth of the couple’s daughter, Maxwell Drew, Jessica looked radiant in the passenger seat of a Range Rover as a female friend took the wheel.

Jessica spoke to People, in which she appeared in a photoshoot with daughter Maxwell and Eric, revealing she is eating protein-packed means and drinking home-mixed juices to help shed pounds.

Jessica told People: ‘After you have your baby it’s like, “Oh my God, what happened to my body… this is not me”.’
Jessica revealed she planned to join Weight Watchers before she learned she was pregnant, having dealt with years of yo-yo dieting.
The singer said she simply wants to feel comfortable in her skin again.

She’ll probably drop the weight pretty quickly. $4 million is a good incentive!

Jessica Simpson is currently in a rush to lose the 60+ pounds she gained while pregnant. And she has a huge incentive. Rumor has it Weight Watchers has sponsored her weight-loss, to the tune of $4 million.

You can’t see much of her body from these pictures besides her enormous jugs. Those thing have got to make working out incredibly painful!

I wonder how much time Weight Watchers is giving her to drop the weight. I mean they wouldn’t pay her $4 million to lose the weight over the course of a year – I’m sure they’re pounding down her door looking for results!

Only time will tell how long it’s going to take to get that weight off!
