"Weigh to go, Jessica Simpson!\r\nIn November 2011, Us Weekly exclusively reported that Simpson was negotiating a $4 million deal to get her pre-baby body back, and now she&amp;apos;s finally confirmed the news via Twitter. &amp;quot;So excited to be part of the Weight Watchers family,&amp;quot; Simpson, 31, shared Wednesday.\r\nShe elaborated via Facebook later in the day: &amp;quot;The cool thing about the program is that it focuses on healthy habits for the long-term (and I can still indulge in my guilty pleasures every now and then, too). I have actually gotten a group of friends together who are going to be doing it with me.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe 5-foot-3 star is hoping to lose her baby weight within the year, according to sources close to the new mom. &amp;quot;As soon as Jessica heals from the C-section, she is extremely determined to get back in the gym and work out,&amp;quot; said one confidant. &amp;quot;She wants to show the world and is excited to do it.&amp;quot;\r\nSimpson -- mom to Maxwell Drew, 4 weeks, with fiance Eric Johnson, 32 -- &amp;quot;hasn&amp;apos;t chosen a trainer yet,&amp;quot; a pal said. &amp;quot;In fact, she hasn&amp;apos;t even thought about working out for a year. But if she wants this, she&amp;apos;ll need to work out a good five days a week.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nPossible trainers: Danny Musico, who works with Johnson, and pal Mike Alexander, who helped Simpson reach her sculpted size-2 Daisy Duke glory in 2005 with four months of grueling two-hour sessions six days a week.\r\n\r\nThe Fashion Star mentor has even looked to other stars for inspiration. In January, she tweeted: &amp;quot;New goal: Look like Jessica Alba after baby. Job well done, lady!&amp;quot; (Alba, 31, had just shown off a rocking bikini bod four months after having daughter Haven.)\r\n\r\nAnother reason Simpson wants to slim down? Her delayed wedding. &amp;quot;She won&amp;apos;t walk down the aisle until she&amp;apos;s back in good enough shape that she&amp;apos;ll look great in the wedding dress she wants,&amp;quot; a source explained.\r\n\r\nWhenever she gets married, and whatever size she may be, Simpson will have one special attendant. &amp;quot;I really want to enjoy that day, and now I get to have my baby with me,&amp;quot; she told Us. &amp;quot;I can&amp;apos;t wait -- it&amp;apos;s going to be so sweet.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
