Jessica Simpson: 'Not Pressured' to Lose Weight

Jessica took to Twitter to announce that Weight Watchers has NOT been pressuring her to lose weight to fulfill her mega-million deal but that she’s doing it for health reasons.

All eyes have been on Jessica Simpson since she gave birth to daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson on May 1. Although the singer and host of Fashion Star has publicly struggled with her weight for years, she insists that dropping the post-pregnancy pounds is a choice she is doing for her health — not pressure from her multi-million dollar Weight Watchers deal.

“Just so everyone knows…Weight Watchers hasn’t put ANY pressure on me!” Jessica tweeted. “I’m trying to be as healthy as I can be for myself and I feel great!”

Jessica said she indulged in some of her favorite comfort foods during her pregnancy, including fried chicken, mac and cheese, and buttered pop tarts. However, it seems the new mom is on a healthier path, trading in junk food for healthier options and exercise. Only time will tell if she drops the excess weight in time for her Weight Watchers campaign loss.

HollyMoms, do YOU think Jessica is feeling the heat from Weight Watchers, or is she doing this all her own?

@Bebe you are an idiot Jessica can’t lose the weight right away or even start weight watchers yet because she is nursing and needs about 500 extra calories a day as that’s what breastfeeding burns duh. besides these deals with weight loss programs last at least two years so there is no rush nor does she have a career obligation that hastens her to lose the weight quicker. people should stop critizing her and as for Kourtney Kardashian this is her 2nd child so she has scar tissue from Mason and she’s only 5ft tall while Hilary Duff is 5ft 2in and Jessica is 5ft 3.5in and besides that Jessica’s daughter was 21 3/4 in at birth

Weight Watchers provides a program for nursing mothers, duh? If you knew something and anything you wouldn’t be so stupid. Jessica knows what is best for her and her daughter.

and of course the pic used is one where clearly the paps used a lens to zero in.

How could she not feel the heat with tabloids & gossips sites makeing her there priority .. Time to back off maybe.. Maybe go to radar on line & post the pics of Hillary from the side.. Mean sure but lets be real in what we report on women having just given brith. Trash one trash them all but somehow I don’t think Kourtney or Hilary will ever get this BS. Did you see Kourtney on TMZ.. Of course lens was taken from afar but believe me other then the boobs Kourtney is the same size as Jessica was..

This bullying needs to stop. Jessica is always the punching bag & not sure why.

I think Jessica has been true to herself ever since the whole mommy jeans incident and hasn’t gone and starved herself down to a size 2 or 0 like so many other Hollywood starlets.

Good for her! I like Jess and I do believe that she’s doing it for health reasons.

FYI: Christina Stiehl, you forgot the word “for” in: “… she’s doing it ___ health reasons.”

right…and if you buy that I have a fresh water lake in hell to sell you. She took the WW deal for the money thinking it would be easy to lose the weight—money is a big motivator. Now, she see’s it’s not easy. She will probably end up going to the nearest surgeon for lipo or have her stomach stapled. She won’t have a problem giving WW their money back as she is worth a billion. I say Jessica enjoy your new role as mother and forget aobut trying to lose the weight for money or to please the public.
