Ricki Lake – Portion Control and Exercise

Though the wealth and lucrative television deals kept pouring in, Ricki Lake was privately struggling with an unhealthy relationship with food for years. When she finally decided to take charge of her weight, the witty talk-show host began by dramatically cutting down her daily calorie intake and exercising. With her health and weight in check, Ricki looks happier than ever and is truly an inspiration.

When she made her big-screen debut at 19, Ricki already weighed a staggering 200 pounds. And though her career has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride since then, the ‘Hairspray’ star lost over 130 pounds and has kept the weight off for nearly 15 years!
