For the past six months, Ricki Lake and her husband Ross Burningham have made a mutual commitment to “get healthier,” and for that, she is “so so proud.”
The former talk show presenter disclosed on Instagram on February 24 that she and Burningham have each shed at least 30 pounds since starting their new lifestyle together in October. She posted a few pictures in her post to show off her transformation after losing weight.
The Hairspray actress stated in her article that neither she nor her spouse lost weight by using diet pills, but she quickly clarified that there is nothing inherently “wrong” with doing so. Though worried that her age might make it harder for her body to shed weight than when she was younger, 55-year-old Lake stated they preferred to “try and do it on our own.” Lake wrote, “I am so so proud of us.” “I feel fantastic. I felt powerful.

Lake “promised to elaborate” in the future on the specifics of her weight loss transformation; however, she stated, “Suffice it to say that this is the healthiest way I’ve ever lost weight.”
Lake is depicted in the first image smiling for a selfie while donning a wide-brimmed hat during her “daily hike.” Burningham is observed traversing the road in her rear.
