She recently said she was planning to lose weight for her wedding by 'dancing around her bedroom'.
But it seems Jessica Simpson is also exploring other ways to shed the pounds before she marries fiancé Eric Johnson.
The 30-year-old singer was seen enjoying a tandem bike ride with Johnson and a group of friends as they pedalled their way along the Venice boardwalk.

Wearing a pair of denim shorts, white
vest top and cowboy boots teamed with a khaki jacket and trendy
headscarf, Jessica grinned with delight as Johnson took charge of
steering the vehicle.
Jessica's weight has sparked a lot of debate over the years. She stunned fans when she stepped out at the MTV Movie Awards in 2005 looked thinner than ever after losing weight for her role as Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard.
But Jessica failed to maintain the 36-24-36 figure she worked so hard to achieve, and started steadily piling weight back on.

Now, however, Jessica is determined to be in the best shape ever for her nuptials, and is trying to 'hopefully lose some weight' ahead of her big day.
She said: 'I'm still trying to figure out what to wear! I don't know if
I want the big boom, or the curvy thing, but it will be something
beautiful. I kind of have a couple of ideas in my head, and I have a
date; I'm really excited!'
Asked if she was going to be embarking on a proper diet and exercise regime before the wedding, Jessica replied: 'No exercise is fun! I am going to dance
around my bedroom and hopefully lose some weight - and lift some
weights and do what I can!'

However, Jessica is thought to have enlisted the help of Gwyneth Paltrow's personal trainer Tracey Anderson to help her on her way.
Jessica's friends said recently that the singer has no intention of returning to her formerly skinny frame for the wedding - she just wants to be in
good shape when she walks down the aisle.
One said: 'She wants to look healthy, not super-skinny. She’s seeing results with her new workout program. She really loves it.'
