The iconic talk show host has shown the results of losing 30 pounds in a matter of months without the use of drugs or celebrity hacks like Ozempic. Ricki Lake posted a cute photo wearing a 13-year-old skirt showing she’s still got it more than a decade later.
The TV star, who was one of the leaders of daytime talk shows alongside icon Maury, and less problematic than Jerry Springer, is happy with her body transformation. Ricki Lake’s recent Instagram photo saw the celebrity look stunning as she revealed the weight loss results. It comes after she shared how she managed to get to the end result with followers a few weeks ago.
Ricki Lake’s impressive weight loss wasn’t down to celebrity drug Ozempic
The 55-year-old previously posted a series of photos on the image-sharing app to followers, explaining the process.
She wrote on Instagram: “Hi friends. I’ve been wanting to share with you what I’ve been up to these last four months.
“On October 26th, 2023, I made a commitment to myself to get healthier. My husband, Ross, joined me in this effort. Together, we have each lost 30+ lbs.”
But Ricki Lake made sure not to shame anyone who did need help with weight loss: “I really want to share, because we did this without relying on a pharmaceutical (not that there is anything wrong with that).”
It comes after a host of celebrities have come forward with their own transformations, using the popular drug, created for diabetes patients, to drop pounds. But she made it clear her results weren’t from trending weight loss drugs.
The star also posted how she managed to get slimmer back in 2007, after going from a size 24 to 4 without surgery. She adopted a new workout regime and embraced health with nutritious food.
She showed photos to followers on how she’d take daily hikes, with pictures walking her dog on the beach. Ricki Lake started her weight loss journey back in November, at around 170 lbs and is not in the 140 mark. One commenter also said she met the star the day before and Ricki ‘inspired’ her to do intermittent fasting – so that must have been one of her tricks too.
It really does come down to feeding the body with good food, exercise and how having someone do with you can help.
‘Go Ricki! Go Ricki!’

Fans are in awe of her dedication, especially how Ricki Lake started her weight loss journey in November – before Thanksgiving and Christmas, which is incredible in itself!
One follower said: “Amazing!!! Taking charge of your health is important at any (and every) age”.
Another added: “You look incredible and I loved seeing you yesterday!!!!!!!! You inspired me to start the intermittent fasting! Started today! 💫 @rickilake and hike for sure next week!!!”
Someone else echoed: “Triple bonus points for starting in Nov and manoeuvring all the holiday temptations”.
While a devoted fan wrote: “Beautiful no matter the size!
