Jessica Simpson has allegedly lost 40 pounds

Jessica Simpson has reached a major milestone in her life: She's gone from "morbidly obese" to merely "obese." Congratulations. An insider told Life & Style:

"Jessica has already lost 35 pounds. She can't wait to reveal the results."

Besides dieting, Jessica, who gained 60 pounds while pregnant, has reunited with her former trainer, Harley Pasternak. "Jessica's doing great!" her best friend, CaCee Cobb, tells Life & Style. "Are you kidding? She's motivating all of us. We have our weekly Weight Watchers meetings, and it's so much fun. We all keep one another on track."

"After you have your baby, it's like, 'Oh my God, what happened to my body? This is not me,'" confides Jessica, 32. "I'm ready to have my body back!"

Are we still going with the lie that Jessica Simpson only got fat after she got knocked up by that NFL free agent (aka "unemployed")? I'd dust off the ol' Guinness Book to look for the longest pregnancy on record, but I have to admit that I just don't give a shit. Jessica hasn't done a thing for my erectile dysfunction or my faith in humanity since at least 2009 -- long before she accepted Eric Johnson's mediocre seed. I never thought I'd say this, but Jessica needs to start acting more like Ashlee. Who would have thought that the least embarrassing thing to happen to a Simpson sister over the past few years was getting knocked up by Pete Wentz?

Stop sucking back the burritos, corn chips, and booze and your fat ass will disappear.

Jess is fat...it might anger some who want to insist she is just so gorgeous and "fine the way she is" but she isn't She is fat. it's not healthy or pretty. Those that say she is perfect the way se is are usually dealing with their own eight issues

She said she had gained 60 lbs by the time she did the interview to go with her Elle photoshoot -- and that was in February, WAY before she gave birth in May. She gained at least 100 in all...but it's true, she had been gaining weight for a while before even getting pregnant

The best boobs are filled with silicon

Its probably true. 35 lbs is about average after giving birth. None of it's her fat. It's the baby, the fluids and thingd, and water retention. Nice try though.

For someone who gained as much as she did (and I think it was more like 80 pounds), the first 40 is nothing, it's the last 40 that she will never lose.

fecal matter doesn't count

If Jess said it, she meant it, ad it must be so.
