Jessica Simpson lost 100 pounds in 2019, six months after the birth of her third child, Birdie May. In September 2019, Simpson first posted her transformation on Instagram, writing, “6 months. 100 pounds down (Yes, I tipped the scales at 240).”
The star has managed to keep the weight off for over a year now–and her recent Instagram post proves it.

Simpson's celeb friends and fans both noticed her slim figure in the post. Jessica Alba commented, "You so fit!!!"
A fan wrote, "We all wanna know how did you get so skinny ???"
Another commented, "I need your diet and exercise plan. ASAP."
As for how she lost the weight, Simpson opened up about her transformation while speaking to Hollywood Life.
She told the outlet, "I like to like track my steps, keep myself accountable, and to just know my movement throughout the day. If I haven’t moved enough, I’ll make sure and get in extra steps the next day. For me, it’s moderation – I don’t put too much pressure on myself."
In some ways, being a mom helps Simpson stay active as well.
She added, "We have a big family so we're always on the go, go, go – even if it's just in the house, the yard or the neighborhood. We go on family walks, we visit the pigs in the neighborhood, we visit the horses. We’re constantly active and if our kids are going stir crazy, we all go jump on the trampoline. Just get it out, get the energy out."
She also explained that strict diets don't work for her, saying, "I’ll break it."
Simpson emphasized that she uses moderation instead when it comes to her diet: "When I was the spokesperson for Weight Watchers, it was very authentic and it actually taught me a lot about just writing things down, calculating things, knowing what you’re putting in your body. I personally don’t stay away from foods if I want something, I’ll have some of it, but I’m good at putting it down. I mean, listen, I have kids, so if I want, I eat like a kid. I like corn dogs and mac and cheese – you don’t limit yourself."
However, simply becoming skinnier was never her main goal, but she wanted to feel "comfortable again."
Simpson added, "My weight was in the high two hundreds – that’s a lot of weight – and I was just uncomfortable, but I worked hard and I am a determined person, so if I set my mind to it, I do it. I couldn’t handle being so big and my ankles were swollen. So I’m just happy to feel comfortable again. I was literally uncomfortable for so long that now it’s just nice to relax."
