Jessica Simpson's Diet and Workout Routine

Nothing new here. Just a matter of time, dedication, and willpower.

Of course, instead of willpower, insert "personal trainer Mike Alexander". Instead of dedication, insert "big fat paycheck". Instead of time, insert "Hollywood doesn't-have-to-work".

No kidding! I've tried so many diets, and the only thing that works is eating 600-1000 calories per day, and working out 4-5 times a week. I lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks doing this, and it hasn't come back.

I also heard Jessica ate these...a candy that does double duty is a lollipop call Power-pops, did a google search and saw them here

They claim to give you energy and help suppress your appetite. I'll eat these all day if I can look like her!!

ok i am 15 and i am about 5"3 and i weigh around 130 and everywhere i go if i see someone skinner than me i wish i could look like them and be that skinny is that bad to think that.

megan...that is totally normal in this society, and as much as it sucks, it doesn't go away (i'm 21 and even though i have weighed the same for about 5 years, despite anything i do, and i'm at a healthy weight for myself i still feel like that) and as for your weight...you will probably grow another inch or so (if not more) and you will grow into your body. 15 is quite possibly one of the most awkward ages ever.

My weight is not the problem I'm 5"3 and weight about 108 to 110. My problem is I need to tone in certain areas and can't motivate myself to get to the gym everyday. I can't figure out why this is so hard for me...my intentions are good, I wake up bring my gym stuff to work but by the end of the day I'm too tired and find excuses not to go. Any suggestions??

Try to join a gym that is close to work, that way you go can on your lunch, or if you can handle getting up early go in the morning before work. Another thing to try is pilates dvd's at home, you can do those anytime you have a free 1/2 hour, or just do your own exercise routine while watching tv. I watched tv for an hour the other night, while laying on the floor doing crunches, leg lifts, etc...

I read that Jessica was on the south beach diet, which I have tried, if you can get past the first 2 weeks it's great, I only made 12 days before I caved in and had some wine and bread!!

I began working with a personal trainer about a week ago and have never felt better! I am on the same diet that Jessica was on. My personal trainer guides me through everything...I definitely recommend this, if you want to lose weight or tone up. I am 5'6 and 130 pounds. I get weighed tomorrow and I know I lost weight!

I'm 5'3 135 lbs I've never been this fat. I am so embarrased that I let myself o this much. I've started a workout routine this week. Any suggestions on the best way to drop 10 lbs as quickly as possible? South Beach?

Response for Rose...
I am the same height as you, but 30 lbs heavier. My problem is hormones (menopausal symptoms).

One of my friends and I did Body for Life starting in January (she's 10 yrs younger). She lost 25 lbs in the first 12 weeks and continued on to lose a total of 40 lbs in 28 wks. She looks wonderful.
Me? I lost 3 lbs...

I love the program and highly recommend it for women who are not menopausal...

Rose, do not worry! I too am 5'3'' and moved to a new city a year ago. Within the first few months, i easily gained 10 pounds and was up to 135. I felt SO FAT and while most people think that is not a bad weight, it looks curvy for our height. We are petite, and people just don't understand that that is big for us 5'3''ers. I am a runner, but could not get motivated again, and didn't want ot deprive myself like i had done before on all those crazy low-carb fad diets. So i joined Weight Watchers, and it works! the weight slowly is coming off. i lost 10 pounds, and now am 125 and only want to loose 5 more to get back to my size 4. You can do it too! i am telling you Weight Watchers is the healthiest way to go, and it teaches you everything in moderation! i know you can do it! stay strong and give WW a shot!

Okay, so Jessie did a lot of squats. Great that it worked for her. My problem is that I can do tons of squats and for some reason it doesn't seem to work my rear. I definitely always feel it in my quads instead, which are perfectly strong muscles. What I really need to work is the back of my legs and butt. Any suggestions? The area's totally flabby and definitely my worst spot.

Ann use a treadmill on an incline while your walking on it to tone the back of your legs.

Yeah, I've tried that one. Maybe I'm putting the inclinen too high? (15% -- highest it goes) It also seems to work my quads mostly, like climbing stairs.
