Ricki Lake recently revealed about her dramatic 30 pound weight loss. The Hairspray star first revealed her shocking transformation in February earlier this year.

Ricki Lake reveals her surprising weight loss
In her latest appearance on Good Morning America, Lake talked in detail about her weight loss journey. The Serial Mom star admitted that although there were many challenges, the outcome far outweighed them. “I’m feeling the best I can remember in my life,” Lake said.
Recalling the time when she finally made “the one” decision, Lake said, “I have this new marriage and I’m so happy with this amazing man, my perfect man. And if I could tell you one thing that would happen in our lives. What wasn’t working was that we were carrying this extra weight.
“It has been a commitment. You know, it’s been a financial commitment. It’s like a time commitment. But it is amazing. Like, I’m just, I’m so happy and proud of us,” she confessed.
A doctor tried to push him into weight loss drugs
Lake revealed that a doctor suggested she use weight loss drugs like Ozempic or Vegovy because she is 55 and in perimenopause. However, she was unwilling to agree to the idea.
“He was saying you won’t be successful without it, that’s what he told me. And I like a challenge. And I love proving people wrong. And so, it upset me,” the DWTS star recalled.
“I was just reluctant. And I wanted to try it on my own. And so I said to my husband, ‘You want to go on this trip with me?’ And he’s like, ‘Sure,'” Lake continued.
“It’s a lifestyle change. I have made it my job. And this has become my happiness. Like, I just, I love it. I think it’s safe to say that I’m in the best shape of my life. I say, ‘This is what happiness looks like.’ It’s literal, I could cry. I am very happy. I am very happy,” she concluded.
