Emily Simpson Lost 15 Pounds; Is “Enjoying The Journey”

This season of Real Housewives of Orange County was tough for Emily Simpson. First, she struggled to hold her household together while she worked. Where was her husband, Shane “Lil Bitch” Simpson?

He was holed up in a hotel to study for the California Bar exam and was unavailable to his family. Shane couldn’t even touch base by phone. He failed that test in February and re-took it in July.

Earlier this season, RHOC viewers saw Emily visit Tamra Judge and husband Eddie Judge at their gym, CUT Fitness, to discuss nutrition and health advice. But in October, Tamra was shady to Emily on Twitter about the word “obese.” I still don’t know what set Tamra off.

Finally, Emily put herself first and has some great news to report. Emily posted on Instagram, “I’m finally down 15 lbs and I owe it all to @paulinastein 12 week program with coaching! I still have more to go but I’m enjoying the journey! I was in chronic pain, I was depressed and I weighed more then I ever have in my whole life! I reached out to @paulinastein and asked her for her help. I had no idea where to start,” Emily wrote. “I felt lost.”

The lawyer continued, “She helped me change my lifestyle and has taught me so much about balance. She has also encouraged me to not give up and keep going. Not only did I want to lose weight to feel and look better, but I wanted to be healthier and set a good example for my kids!” Emily stated. “I haven’t felt this good in a long time and with a new hip, and 15 pounds off I’m finally able to keep up with my kids and be more active!”

Emily concluded her post with a plug for her coach. “Let’s get healthy together friends! www.paulinafitness.com

#rhoc #fit #health #healthy #workout #curves #curvy #family #blackfriday” She included a photo of herself looking fabulous.

I guess Emily found someone more supportive and nurturing than Tamra and Eddie to guide her on her weight-loss journey. Kudos to you, Emily!

TELL US- ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT EMILY WAS WORKING WITH SOMEONE OTHER THAN TAMRA TO ACHIEVE HER WEIGHT-LOSS GOALS? SHOULD SHANE CONTINUE TO TAKE THE BAR EXAM, OR TAKE A BREAK FROM IT?
