She claimed in a recent Weight Watchers ad that she is no supermodel, but on Monday new mum Jessica Simpson was back in front of the camera showing off her continuing post-baby weight loss.

The buxom blonde was back to work on a photo shoot sporting a slimming black playsuit and killer platform heels that showed off her legs.

The diminutive reality TV star, who gave birth to her fist child Maxwell in May, let her bottle blonde locks hang loose and toted a giant snakeskin handbag as she left a studio in Los Angeles.

It was recently revealed that the Weight Watchers spokeswoman looked into surgery in a bid to regain her pre-pregnancy body - but was turned down by doctors.

A source said: 'After her daughter, Jessica felt there was no way she could lose the weight on her own as she has struggled so much in the past and her post partum weight seemed to be growing.'

The insider told Radaronline: 'So like a true Hollywood girl, she sought out a quick surgical fix - lap band surgery.'

The Dukes of Hazzard actress has kept quiet regarding the story which could jeopardise her $4 million deal with the weight loss company.

Jessica admitted to USA Today: 'I let myself indulge in everything I wanted because it was the first time I was ever pregnant, and I wanted to enjoy it.

'I wanted to be happy and eat what I wanted... I didn't realise it didn't all come off with the baby.'

After two different doctors advised her against going under the knife, Jessica enlisted the help of celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak instead.

Harley toldPeople: 'When I saw Jessica shortly after she gave birth, she wasn't herself. Her body wasn't hers. I could see how uncomfortable she was in it.'

The pair are currently working out together for 45 minutes, four times a week and Harley said: ' I'm blown away by her progress....She's made incredible strides, but she knows there is more work to do.'
