Trying to get back in shape after a pregnancy is difficult for anyone, including celebrities (except for Beyonce), but Jessica Simpson used being knocked up as an excuse to eat everything she laid eyes on, so losing the estimated 75 lbs. (!) that she gained will be especially difficult.

That’s Jess hitting the gym for the first time since giving birth to baby Maxwell in early May. There are no shots of Jess from the front, and there probably won’t be for some time. Her weight has been a topic of public discussion for the last six months, so it makes sense that she’ll try to layer up and hide her stomach until she’s close to her fighting weight again.

Jessica just signed a multi-million dollar deal with Weight Watchers, so the pressure is on to drop those pounds. No one wants to take weight loss advice from a chick who’s holding on to an extra 75.
