Jessica Simpson is taking it one step at a time, literally.

The new mother signed a multi-million dollar deal with Weight Watchers to drop the extra pounds she gained during the pregnancy of her daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson and while she's been spotted regularly at her trainer's house, Jessica is stepping it up a level.

"Just bought all the girls in my @weightwatchers group pedometers to track their steps," Jessica tweeted on Thursday.

"10,000 steps a day = 5 miles! Let's step it up!"

Determined to shed the weight, Jessica, 31, wants to do it the right way and claims the weight loss company hasn't been pushing her to lose it quickly.

"Just so everyone knows...Weight Watchers hasn't put ANY pressure on me," she tweeted last month.

"I'm trying to be as healthy as I can be for myself and I feel great!"
