For those of you who wanted to know how Ashlee Simspon lost her baby weight so quickly and so effectively, here’s the secret:
She lucked out with good genes and simply worked out for 3 months.
After delivering her son Bronx Mowgli, now 8 months, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz was prepared for an uphill battle when it came time to shed the pregnancy pounds and regain her figure.
But she was pleasantly surprised to find that she quickly bounced back with little effort on her part, she tells Celebrity Baby Blog.
“After I had Bronx I lucked out,” the actress-singer admits. “I mean, I’m 24-years-old, [I have] the genes from my mother and I did work out for three months.”
I guess some people have all the luck! Ashlee is however good friends with skinny mother-to-be Nicole Richie… perhaps they traded baby weight loss secrets?

FIRST!
Lmao i’m such a loser! After reading on the forums about the FIRST trend thought I’d give it a go! and yes I feel VERY accomplished!
Well, really, three months isn’t an unusual timeframe to lose baby weight. It is healthy for women to gain 20-35 pounds total when pregnant (depending on their beginning size)…but most is lost at birth, some is in milk, so only about 7-15 of those pounds are fat stored on the mother. A loss of 2-5 pounds a month of extra fat while specifically concentrating on working out, etc. isn’t anything shocking or strange, IMO.
her poor sister must have some whole different set of genes then…
Yeah, she and Nicole are trading dieting secrets, “Nicole, just starve yourself”, “Ashley, just starve yourself”.
She looks amazing! I love her legs! She is rly cute.
She must be very religious!!
lol i doubt she is at all religious. But having a baby so young does have its advantages.
speaking of that, Rian, there’s pictures of jamie lynn spears leaving a gas station with her baby and she looks pretty slim. Just thought id say since its been a while since she had a baby that anyone’s seen her.
Draccae-i agree-even 10 lbs per month would give her 30 lbs-that is attainable! I read she got back to her pre baby weight of 5′6 112 lbs-that is too thin-but then again this is lala land-wooo!
She looks good! She probably has normal, healthy eating habits and in addition to working out for three months…that’s not luck, it’s common sense!
She’s so pretty, that’s what’s lucky
definitely looks really good
@Draccae: I’m not sure if you’ve ever had a baby, but even if you have, you should recognize that everyone’s experience is different. For very many, if not most women, most of the weight is NOT lost “at birth”, and new mothers will lose at different rates, even if they are eating sensibly and getting exercise. I did everything “right” and it took me a year to lose all the weight. (I started out 5′5″ 116 lbs and gained only 30 lbs.) And some people are never able to lose it all, unless they go to extreme and unhealthy measures.
For sure, there are some things you should do, but she is right: a lot of it is luck. That’s the tough thing about pregnancy and child birth– you just don’t have the same degree of control over your body as you usually do. But believe me, it’s worth it
Tonya – laughed at that. my thoughts exactly.
rediculous celebrity baby name, I think Pilot Inspektor or whatever is even better than that.
love her outfit; she looks so cute!
She certainly didn’t ‘luck out’ in the face department!!
im sure shes just great at restricting and great at working out.
no secret there!
she worked out for three months, it’s not luck, it’s determination and making the time for yourself. kudos to her!
I’ll agree that good genes, age and luck might have something to do with it. She was never a heavy girl so it’s much easier for her body to go back to where it was before she had the baby. And I’m sure she works out with a trainer etc. Lucky girl indeed..
I’m not too sure about the good genes, she was always small, so was Jessica, for the fact she is young helps a lot.
Tonya, ha ha! Exactly.
Her face is creepy, she has a Jackson-esque plasticiness about her.
Why the unnecessary comments about whether she’s religious or not. Her father used to be a pastor so she maybe but it’s really not relevant here.
I think it’s all about luck and hard work from seeing how my sis’s and friends lost their baby weight.
Obesity-i agree-if you cut calories pretty drastic (which i am sure she did because she is no loner pregnant, plus working out more than you did-oohh what will happen? You will lose weight! Really 30 lbs in 3 months is not crazy-it is healthy-you could do that if you have bad genes
I have to agree..she was/is tight w/Nicole Richie while she (Ashlee)was preggers & afterwards. She also used the (workout) trainer: Romona Braganza & followed the same diet (as directed by Romona)…it was called something like “Braganza Step 1, 2, 3 Baby Weight Loss Diet”;… something like that. Jessica Alba followed the same Braganza Baby Weight Loss Diet & workout deal. I bet, though, that Ashlee did a lot of restricting (as much as possible while nursing her baby) as well as working out. Ashlee does have good genes…but I think she has a LOT of determination & will power (she had ana when she was 11 or 12 & had to quit ballet b/c she was down to 70 lbs.) She has always been on the taller side even when she was young…younger (at 12-years old). Too bad her sister Jessica did get part of the good genes. Jess just yo-yo’s all over the place. Seems that Ashlee lost weight (like back in 2004 or there abouts) and kept it off. She was pretty thin just before she became preggers. She is very thin again now.
OOPS: meant to say that it’s too bad that Jessica did *NOT* get part of the good genes! (like Ashlee)!
Im always so jealous when i see these celebs, because im 19, have not had a baby and still look shit lmao
I can’t believe how tall and thin she is compared to CHUNK Jessica. Lol
can you spell lipo…?
good for her. It’s annoying sometimes that people ALWAYS assume there are all these weight loss ***secrets*** when they’re just eating right and working out. Of course some times it’s drugs, but often it’s just not.
she looks great
good for her!
why cant these women just tell us the truth, i worked out all day at 3 meals…i would actually respect them more if they said that..them i have good genes, i didnt change my diet…BS i say PURE BS
Okay… that’s nice and all.
spanktakular-i agree-in fact the only way to lose weight is to cut calories-either by moving more or dieting-she did one or the other or both-no matter what kind of genes she has
ah yes but we all have our cross to bare ashlee and yours is your fake face!!! what do this celebs think about their babies if they ever get the same wonky faces that they had originally??
everyone is different by my sister was a size four before she was pregnant and about two weeks after she had the baby she was a size two and she ate like a horse! i luckly have no kids yet so have no idea!
I agree with Draccae. Losing the baby weight in 3 months isn’t all that unusual, but I also know that everyone is different.
I think it’s funny that no one seems to remember what she looked like when she first came out….she was QUITE regular sized and always on one diet or another (I remember Atkins was one on her show) …so I’ll just laugh at her comment knowing she probably didn’t eat much and move on…
I lucked out too
I lost most of the baby weight (11 kg) in less than three weeks just by breastfeeding.
Tonya I agree, something tells me this girl does not eat much of anything at all.
breast feeding, people, breat feeding is the big secret. of course plus a strict diet. i don’t believe her or nicole that they worked out to lose the baby weight. both of them look untoned as ever.
She battles with eating disordered thinking and doing. And she is used to competing with her sister for so long she loves having more control over what she doesn’t eat.
I have never cared for this chick, even less so now.
yeah right…this girl is a major cal counter, she is not naturally this thin
i remember she was a lot bigger few years ago……. yeah right good genes LOL
my mom lost had to lose only 6lbs after giving birth to me…it s a matter of genes and how much you eat and what types of food during the pregnancy…
She has done well with her weightloss however she still never seems to look very happy.
I’m so sad that she changed into what she is now. In the beginning of her career, she was sort of the “anti pop star”, brown hair, bump on her nose, not stick skinny, and over the past couple of years she was turned into everyone else. I loved her before, and thought her music was much better then also.
you say luck, i say cocaine
wow, she must be really lucky…. i pray for such luck.
Meow, MScotton! But I agree. Haha.
And what Kenza said. She was so much more original and likeable when she was just starting out. Now, she’s just like everyone else in Hollywood. And is she even coming out with an album anymore now?
starving yourself is nOT luck… is bad luck!!
i agree with some of the other posters: she doesn’t look like she’s ever seen the inside of a gym.
i’m going to agree and say breastfeeding + age + cutting calories = ashlee’s “secret”
I love Ashlee Simpson.
Her hair colour is gorgeous and she has nice style. Normal weight, too!
Pregnancy and automatic weight gain just due to pregnancy is the biggest, most stupid falacy of all times. Learn about what hcg does for your body and you will see that weight gain is unnecessary…
I think 3 months is not that fast! I don’t know if I have better genes than Ashlee or if I’m luckier but I gained 25 pounds during my pregnancy, gave birth on July, 21st and have only about 2 pounds left now: I lost 18 pounds the first week and since then I’m not doing anything special, I eat normally (pizza tonight!), don’t work out yet because it’s too early, and breastfeed my son. I’m skinnier than many girls who haven’t had children, and you couldn’t tell I gave birth less than a month ago.
Moreover I’m 30!
im yea thats a lie . she is not luck just very estrict about his eatin habbits .
if she really was lucky she will be thin all of her life and i remember a long time ago a brunnete kinda chobby ashley simpson
