Jessica Simpson has been making headlines recently due to the release of her tell-all
memoir, Open Book where she apparently lets a lot off her chest and gets real with readers
about EVERYTHING.
I personally can’t wait to read it.
Not to mention, the mama of 3 has been coming across as super confident these days after
her alleged 100-pound weight loss.
Jessica looks incredible, and she’s always seemed to me like one of those celebs that
gives off a kind-hearted vibe.
In this video, we’re gonna take a look at Jessica and see how she transformed over her
years in the spotlight, and what her secrets are to looking so great.
Jessica Simpson is a singer, actress, fashion designer, mom, and of course we can now add
author to that list too.
At the time of this recording, Jessica is 39 years old.
I best remember growing up with her as one of the pop princesses of the era, considering
I’m a 90s kid, and we cant forget her reality show with ex husband Nick Lachey either.
She’s had quite the successful career and basically done it all but over the years there
were times when the tabloids weren’t the nicest to Jessica.
She took a bit of time out of the spotlight too, which probably had to do with the fact
she was busy raising her kids with her husband Eric Johnson.
What a beautiful family!
Anyways I’m glad that Jessica seems to be making a comeback.
What's going on guys and girls, my name’s Kara and this series we have titled Before
& After.
Today’s video is gonna be all about Jessica Simpson and her beauty transformation.
The star has been portrayed as many personas over the years, from preacher’s daughter
to sex symbol to sometimes “ditzy” blonde on reality TV and more.
One thing’s for sure is that she’s changed and matured a lot, but she’s still the same
Jessica fans know and love.
Today we’re going to talk about Jessica in the early days, if she’s had any work
done, her inspiring weight loss story, and more.
I've also done other celebrity transformation videos, on the likes of Adele and JLo and

AND Be sure to follow me on Instagram (@Kara_emi) because I LOVE connecting with you guys and
making new friends Now Let’s get into this video.
Let’s start by looking back at Jessica over the years.
She broke out into Hollywood in 1999, and stole our hearts with her perky personality
and hit pop songs.
I always saw her as more of a “good girl” considering she does come from a super religious
church background.
Her signature blonde hair changed slightly over the years, going from a lighter shade
at first to a dirty blonde in 2001.
Later that year Jess also tried a brunette look – but that didn’t last long.
Throughout the early 2000s, the same era where Jessica married her sweetheart - 98 Degrees
star Nick Lachey, she kept her blonde bombshell look.
The pair met when Jessica first started out, and with the release of her album Sweet Kisses
she toured with Nick’s band – she was only 19.
After Jessica played Nick’s diner-waitress girlfriend in 98 Degrees music video for "My
Everything", it was game over.
Nick said when he first met Jessica he was thinking:
"I'm going to marry that girl."
And he did
Jessica’s success only kept growing and with that, so did her confidence.
She was America’s Sweetheart and even though on Newlyweds she was portrayed as a little
ditzy sometimes, we all loved her.
Fast forward to 2005 Jessica landed her first acting gig in the remake movie for the classic
Dukes of Hazzard where she played none other than Daisy Duke.
Although Jessica was already working out on a regular basis, she wanted to get more fit.
And told People magazine: "When I found out I got the role, I went straight
to the gym.
Any character that has a pair of shorts named after her, you've gotta at least try to make
the shorts look as good as you possibly can."
Then Jessica got into the best shape of her life with the help of her trainer Michael
Alexander.
Her workout routine focused on the butt and legs, and she did two hour workouts, 6 days
a week.
Jess did this for one month before the shoot, and then cut it to 3 to 4 times a week while
filming.
Not to mention she was also on a meal plan her trainer calls the “Don’t Eat Crap
Diet” which is a low carb and high protein menu.
I think we can all agree that Jessica succeeded in her goal and was a total babe as Daisy
Duke.
Following this Jessica phase, and her unfortunate break up with Nick, around 2007 she switched
things up a little.
I’ll say it was a tiny identity crisis … Jessica died her hair brown again and dated John Mayer.
Here, her weight started fluctuating slightly.
In the years to come, and while getting together with her current husband Eric, Jessica’s
weight would go up and down.
But a lot of it also had to do with motherhood.
Before we discuss Jessica’s 100 pound post baby weight loss, let’s see if the star
has had any work done.
The star is a natural beauty and always has been so ill start by saying I don’t think
she’s gotten any plastic surgery on her face.
She looks the same to me.
Jessica has gotten fillers though and way back in 2006 she opened up about getting some
in her lips, stating: “I had that Restylane stuff, But it fades
– it went away in like four months.
My lips are back to what they were.
Thank God.
It looked fake to me I didn’t like that.”
[Photo lips]
More recently in 2018 when Jessica posted a makeup free selfie on Instagram, fans were
commenting like crazy accusing her of overdoing lip and face fillers.
The cyber Bullying is SO unnecessary but you can count on random people to say their two
cents – even if it is rude.
Commenters said that she had too much Botox in areas like her “laugh lines” as well.
We don’t know what Jessica does or doesn’t get done in terms of fillers, maybe she does
get Botox and lip injections but I think the star looks great either way.
What do you guys think she’s had done?
On another note, Jessica was a lot more open about her post baby plastic surgery that actually
caused quite the scare.
In her new book, she reveals that she actually had two tummy tuck procedures after her first
two kids which resulted in her being hospitalized.
In 2015, Jessica went under the knife to get rid of stretch marks and loose skin from her
back to back pregnancies – and went for a partial tummy tuck.
Her doctor warned her not to, because at the time Jessica was drinking a lot and You’re
supposed to stop all drinking 3 months prior to surgery.
Despite the warning, Jessica went through with it but found herself unhappy with results.
She went back for a full tummy tuck, and said “This surgery was more involved.
There was a sense that something was going to go wrong from the get-go, even though I
stopped drinking to prepare,”
The tummy tuck lasted 2 hours longer than normal and Jessica ended up getting a nasty
infection – colitis.
She was throwing up constantly and thought that she was going to burst her stitches.
Of course she had to stay in the hospital for over a week – and even then it could
have been way worse.
After the whole nightmare and once she recovered, Jessica looked great but she admitted that
plastic surgery didn’t just magically make her feel better about herself.
It was great of Jessica to share her experience and truth since I can imagine it helping others
who are considering the same procedure.
Once Jessica married Eric back in 2014, she had 3 kids shortly after and her first two
pregnancies were pretty much back to back.
Jessica had already experienced body shaming prior to that, who can forget how rude people
were with her “mom jean” incident?
She did gain more weight than she expected during her pregnancies, but body changes are
pretty much a given at that time.
I think tabloids have definitely been harsher to Jessica than other celebrities about her
weight though.
After her first 2 kids Jessica still lost about 60 pounds with the help of Weight Watchers
and became a spokesperson for them.
Recently though, after baby number 3, Jessica made an even bigger victory.
She was dedicated, and proudly lost 100 pounds just 6 months, so let’s see how the star
made it happen.
Jessica said during her last pregnancy she tipped the scales at 240 but admitted how
hard she worked stating “Even when it felt impossible, I chose to work harder”.
She worked with Harley Pasternak, a celebrity trainer, on her fitness and nutrition plans.
There were a few key things that helped Jessica shed the weight but the main thing was tracking
her steps with a pedometer.
Clients are recommended around 10,000 steps a day but in Jessica’s case she was hitting
14,000 daily or more, which is about 7 miles.
She also worked out at least three or four times a week, toning up with strength training,
resistance circuits, and leg exercises like squats and lunges.
Her trainer focused on a few different body parts each day.
Jessica also committed to a diet of 3 meals and 2 snacks per day.
Harley said: “Meals had protein, fiber and healthy fat.
Snacks had protein and fat or protein and fiber.
We did not diet in a tasteless, extreme, radical way.
[Jessica] loves Tex-Mex flavors so she had a lot of healthy versions of Tex-Mex foods."
Apparently she also had a personal chef to help her out and design a menu, also including
a lot of cauliflower-based foods.
Other tips Jessica had to live by were getting 7 hours of quality sleep each night, as well
as 1 hour away from technology daily.
This is important in controlling the hormones in our brain and the cortisol that’s released.
Minimizing blue light from our phones is beneficial for that.
Jessica was dedicated and worked hard to get happy about her body again!
And she looks fit, healthy, and happy.
As you probably know, she runs a clothing and accessory line worth over 1Billion, and
revealed that it’s successful because she’s been “every size on the planet”, and makes
clothes for everyone.
I guess it does help that Jessica is relatable!
So now we’ve seen just how much Jessica Simpson has transformed over the years.
From a teenage pop star, to growing up and becoming more of a “sex” symbol like she
was in Dukes of Hazzard, to being a mom of 3, we’ve seen her through it all.
And she’s still America’s blonde sweetheart, at least I still see her that way.
It’s also clear that Jessica’s making quite the comeback after taking some time
out of the spotlight.
Her new book “Open Book” is already doing so great and I’m sure it’s a bestseller.
Not to mention her billion dollar clothing and accessory empire, and the new album and
songs she’s excited about releasing in the near future.
To top all of this off, Jessica looks amazing and seems proud of herself for getting back
into such great shape so soon after having baby number 3.
Either way, I’m happy for her and can’t wait to see what comes next.
AND to read that book!

“That’s great for her whatever, as long as it doesn’t change her as an artist, hoping
that she’ll keep her personality and humility.
I think she was amazing the way she was before her weight loss, but if she feels better that’s
really great” I couldn’t agree more!
