5 things Jessica Simpson did on her 100 pound weight-loss journey

Jessica Simpson rocked the Internet this week when she revealed on Instagram that she was down 100 pounds six months after giving birth to her third child, Birdie Mae.

Pasternak gave Simpson five things to accomplish every day and, for accountability, had her email him every night with an update on how she did.
