I don't have a trainer or personal chef - I've lost 40 lbs from intermittent fasting and hiking every single day - age 56 no drugs - feel so good. You don't need money to do this.
I’m 66 and I’m a vegetarian. I also intermittent fast. I’m still a size 6 in pants. Gave up most all carbs and starches. No medications for me either. 👍 No trainer or chef for me. Not rich.
Good for you! And maybe you are rich, just not financially rich. To me, having the time to hike every day is a form of richness. Having the good health which allows for the ability to walk, let alone hike, is richness. I think you are so right, we don’t need money to do this, but all off us need something to help us along the way.

She looks fantastic, not because she lost the thirty-five pounds, but just overall she looks happy and I love that she's choosing not to color her hair. Looks great on her.
She used to be a customer at the café where I worked, and she was super down to earth. She always sat there and tried reading the paper while she was constantly interrupted by her then toddler. Then, they would take the city bus together, probably to his school.

@AnnaLexi I worked the afternoon shift, so I would get there at like 10 am, and she would already be there, sitting at one of the small tables by the window with her coffee and newspaper. It was a small café in the West Village of NYC called 'the Brew Bar'. I only helped her on a few occasions when she needed a refill or something.

Way to go Ricki Lake, I’m on a similar journey. I changed my eating habits and life style and went from 175lbs to 155lbs in the last 2-3 months. My goal is it hit 145 by my 40th birthday and stay there. Making changes like that is very hard at first but over time it becomes a new habit and gets a lot easier. My thoughts are with everyone out there struggling to make this important change in your life. As I’ve lost weight I’ve been able to fit in clothes that I haven’t worn since my 20’s. now I’m that “out of style dad” hahaha.
@@MeriysiI went from about 170lbs to 150lbs since January. The main thing I’ve done is cut back significantly on ultra processed food. I’d say previously about 60% of my diet throughout a week was ultra-processed and now it’s closer to 20%. My diet is mainly fruits, veggies, poultry, fish, nuts, seeds, eggs, yogurt, cheese, milk, whole grains, olive oil, honey, the occasional red meat, etc. I started by choosing one meal a week (breakfast) where I’d make something fresh. After a few weeks, I started focusing on my snacks. This helped me ease into a new lifestyle rather than trying to completely change every single meal I was eating all at once. I think trying to change too much at the beginning would have been overwhelming and I don’t think I would have kept to it. I still eat ultra-processed stuff, takeout, refined sugars/flours, etc., but those things are definitely treats now and not a regular staple in my diet. I’m not sure if what I did will help you or others, but I thought I would share in case it could help.
Walking was a huge changer for me. Getting up and walking a minimum of one hour each morning and afternoon. Moving is also key to weight loss. I also drink tea with just chopped ginger in it. Ginger is known for weight loss but I just use the same cup all day with the ginger and end of day throw it out. There are also many UA-cam videos that are helpful for weight loss that only go for ten minutes so no excuses to move. Good luck.
She is telling the truth. I did it. Stop eating carbs and sugar while intermittent fasting for at least 12 hours each day. And watch your body transform into the healthy body you desire. That's how I lost 50 pounds.
Yeah that would work but the second you stop eating that way BAM 💥 it’s right back plus some. - I know it works - I myself lost 40 in 2019 but man ob man when I stopped I blew up.
That’s called a calorie deficit. You also can eat mostly carbs (whole food plant based) and lose similar amount of weight. Carbs like beans, fruit, and vegetables aren’t bad but processed carbs will make you unhealthy.
Why do people demonize carbs? Fresh vegetables are carbs, FFS. Nothing wrong with carbs -- we all need them, and even "simple" carbs are OK in a balanced diet.
I do the ketogenic lifestyle to manage my type two diabetes and high blood pressure. I dropped 45 lbs. in six months and got rid of two diabetic medications within two and a half months. Feel best on keto than I have felt for years. What she did with keto and intermittent fasting is completely doable. I’ve been doing this since 2019 and am so grateful to make such a positive change and impact in my life.
@@LadiesofPurposeTV just go on UA-cam and you will find so much on ketogenic lifestyle. I recommend you start with Dr Eric Berg, but there are so many others. Just type in "insulin resistance" and it will all be explained to you. And give yourself time to adjust, doing research, cleaning out your cupboards of all carbs and fake foods, eliminating the easiest foods first until you can finally get rid of some of the go-to comfort foods. It's a lifestyle change, not a weight loss diet that's temporary. But you will lose weight and your appetite and cravings might possibly disappear. Intermittent fasting is very helpful too.
I am so glad she pointed out her privilege. What a difference a personal chief and trainer make. I know it takes commitment but have healthy prepared meals is a game changer. It also doesn’t hurt to have a partner who is on the same journey. It is easier to eat salmon and broccoli when you aren’t watching your partner eating a burger and fries. Good luck to them both on their continued health journey.
So true. And even WHERE she lives. If you can’t loose weight in that gorgeous location with unlimited, beautiful natural trails, beaches and weather…well, just give up. Try living in the northeast where most a treadmill in the basement is your only motivation. 😂🤣
@@lkrzzie I live in the NE too and it hadn’t occurred to me that living in a climate challenged😊 and city environment challenges the ease in which we are motivated to exercise. I do appreciate her acknowledging of her privilege and am beginning to think more deeply about what privilege means to me. I have access and the financial ability to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, to afford myself good healthcare, and to address my emotional struggles as I deal with my weight. I know there is even more privileges afforded me. Again, I am thankful she pointed that out in her article and that you responded to my comment.
Ricki Lake doesn’t strike me as someone who would lie about this. I’ve watched her since I was young. If she said she’s not using it, she’s not using it! Stop assuming everyone is lying.
Agreed in this case, it doesn't really make sense because she even brings up her doctor offering her the drugs! If she were lying about it, I think she'd be a lot more secretive and just not bring up the drug at all, or say, "No" if asked by the interviewer. But why tell that whole story about the doctor simply to lie? It would be really weird and just not in character.
100%! It’s really none of our business how people manage their own health care. But our court system says innocent until proven guilty. Why are people jumping to conclusions without proof? It’s a sad state of affairs when people don’t take others at their word anymore. That says more about the poster than it does about Riki Lake. 💕

She looks amazing because she’s so happy inside! I needed to turn to Monjurno since I was pre-diabetic in my 60s. Went from 176 to 120 in about 9 months. So much happier!
I’m so glad she said she knows she is privileged. it’s not that it is necessary to achieve success with weight loss and fitness but it definitely helps She is humble and a true advocate for everyone’s success

That doctor was an idiot I lost the weight at 70 without any medication. Eating less and exercising. I'm 82 now and I've kept it off, and my health is excellent. And I'm a chef so I eat extremely well.
Find all the inflammatory foods in your diet, stop them, plus eliminate GMO. This is what I think the right lifestyle is. Practically everything on the processed foods aisles is inflammatory. Raw ingredients from organic farms are where you find real foods.
She’s beautifully inspiring to be her best self. Everyone can meet their challenges in life with really investing in their better self and a better life.❤
@@krimsonedit3272- it's not - it's them going the extra mile of denying using meds - and after years, even decades of "eating right", exercising, having ones' personal chef a la Oprah & not losing weight - ALL OF A SUDDEN diet & exercise works within days. Then, having the straight face to not mention using the latest weight loss drugs available to all celebrities from the "fat" ones (101 lbs, sarcasm) to those over 300 lbs😏 Just be honest with your fans - yeah, I took the magic pill, I started losing weight, my endorphins hit the roof & I instantly felt like exercising more and felt encouraged to eat healthier.
Good for Ricki for losing that weight and doing it naturally. I too was overweight and peri-menopausal at the time. At 53 I weighed in at 204 lbs and was sedentary, sluggish and feeling the effects of being overweight my entire life. I was a hormonal mess and just fed up with my joints hurting and being winded climbing (slowly) a flight of stairs. I white knuckled it and I lost 85 plus pounds and got down to around 117 lbs without the use of medication or surgery. It is definitely harder during our menopausal years because we lose hormones that help fight fat efficiently, but it definitely can be done with the right diet and exercise regimen. I am in better shape now at 58 than I was in my 20s and 30s.
Don’t let all the ugly comments phase you. Truth cannot be changed by cynicism. The road to healthy weight management is lifelong as you are clearly aware. Stay the course and be the best version of yourself possible. Hater’s gonna hate regardless, but I for one applaud your decision to forge ahead without drugs!
Good for you Ricki! Everyone has their choice and it just makes me sad that people are not listening to Ozempic effects! I mean, when the studies show they will have thyroid cancer in 2 years? That would be enough to scare me off.
In our culture it’s so common now to say we shouldn’t JUDGE people. But here we are accusing & convicting someone of something with ZERO proof! I sure hope you’re not a Lawyer, Lynn, because if you were you’d be living on Food Stamps. 💕
I use to watch the Ricki Lake show when I was a kid, she is very much nostalgic to me. I just remember thinking how nice she was and how she reminded me of a teacher. I’m so happy that she’s doing well.
SHAME ON THOSE WHO USED OZEMPIC and did NOT have Type 2 Diabetes. My husband is Type 2 Diabetes since last 1990s; he’s tried Trulicity and other injectable drugs with rashes and whelps, had to stop those. For those who do not have Type 2 diabetes and using this drug possibly causing a shortage of this important drug for those who truly need it, SHAME ON YOU! My husband has diabetic retinopathy because of his diabetic condition - lost sight in one eye. If weight is all you suffer from, GET SOMETHING ELSE and leave the wonder drugs to those for whom it was meant.
I managed to lose 3 stone without a personal chef or drugs moved to France and swam every day for an hour, all you need to do not Diet but eat healthily and move keep moving. It’s amazing what would happen
I have 3 relatives on Ozempic. How weight loss drugs can change your life: 1. There is MASSIVE muscle loss - much more than without the drugs. 2. Thyroid Caner & Pancreatitis are a thing. 3. You really DO have to take them for life. My sister said as soon as she stopped taking Ozempic the weight came back super fast with a vengeance - so now she’s back on it. What would happen if some day she can’t afford these drugs any more? There are many other considerations that Dr. Mark Hyman covers in his videos on YT. It’s smart to be informed before using this stuff. Obesity has its own set of health care risks but these drugs haven’t had enough clinical trials to make me feel comfortable risking possibly even MORE side effects later. But that’s just me. 💕
I love it! Do what works for you. I quit drinking 6 months ago and without really even trying it started me on a path of eating and living better! Small choices make big impacts over time. 18 lbs lost so far. 52 years old. Life is great!
It really is so nice to see Ricki Lake so happy. What a sweet beam of light she has always been. Thank you for sharing your life with my family Ms. Lake❤.
You are the sweetest person, I loved you overweight and how you are now, your weight never defined you. I am 79 years old and been 35 pounds overweight for 10 years now and just haven't had the well powder to get rid of it, and I know your way is the best way, not any of these drugs that are out now, life style change is it or it all comes back, we both know that don't we. Love you and so happy for you ♥
I don't doubt for a second that she hasn't overhauled her lifestyle but this was absolutely aided by the help of a GLP-1 medication. I mean, she looks fantastic and is proof that these meds can help people struggling with lifelong obesity get their lives back. But if folks were just honest about using GLP-1's it would help destigmatize their use.
I get what you are saying, but there seems to be ZERO reason that she would outright lie here and even mention that her doctor offered her the drug. If she were going to lie about it, she just wouldn't bring it up. Also, she's been pretty honest about very personal things for most of her life. Just really wouldn't make sense for her to choose to openly lie here.
What evidence do you have to support that claim? It’s wrong & unfair to claim something about someone without proof. Why can’t we all just BE POLITE and DO THE RIGHT THING? You have no right to accuse anyone of anything unless you have proof. It’s not that hard to be a DECENT human, Deb Danielle! 💕
1. A MASSIVE amount of muscle loss (making the metabolism slow down even MORE.) 2. Increased risk of Thyroid Cancer & Pancreatitis. 3. Must be on it for LIFE (or the weight piles back on very quickly.) My Doctor offered it to me but there’s too many risks for me. 💕
Girl it’s called Ozempic, don’t be shy. It makes it easy to change your eating and lifestyle habits when you’re not hungry... I’m all for it, I lost 40lbs with Mounjaro 😅 And lol at 57 you’re very likely not perimenopausal Ricki. More like post menopausal.
I don't have a trainer or personal chef - I've lost 40 lbs from intermittent fasting and hiking every single day - age 56 no drugs - feel so good. You don't need money to do this.
I’m 66 and I’m a vegetarian. I also intermittent fast. I’m still a size 6 in pants. Gave up most all carbs and starches. No medications for me either. 👍 No trainer or chef for me. Not rich.

Find all the inflammatory foods in your diet, stop them, plus eliminate GMO. This is what I think the right lifestyle is. Practically everything on the processed foods aisles is inflammatory. Raw ingredients from organic farms are where you find real foods.
"I make it my job." I really needed to hear that
She looks better than ever! Good for her for losing weight without drugs. Her gray hair looks fantastic
She is just beautiful!! Well done lady!!
She’s beautifully inspiring to be her best self. Everyone can meet their challenges in life with really investing in their better self and a better life.❤
Ricki Lake hosted my twin brother and our biological father's 25 reunion. 1996... She was great! Suzanne Summers was a wonderful meet and greet!
So happy for you Ricki. I'm sure you have helped a lot of people. Sending peace-filled thoughts to everyone.
I hate when celebrities lie and say they didn’t use Ozempic. Nothing wrong with the weight loss drug so be HONEST!
EXACTLY! Just own it and say Ozempic did this for me. You can also say that you exercise and eat well, but get real, darling.
It’s amazing how many fat celebrities have suddenly lost huge amounts of weight. “Without Ozempic”.
But what's it to you how someone loses weight
@@krimsonedit3272the problem is when they lie. No one has any issue with how they lost weight as long as they are honest about it
@@krimsonedit3272- it's not - it's them going the extra mile of denying using meds - and after years, even decades of "eating right", exercising, having ones' personal chef a la Oprah & not losing weight - ALL OF A SUDDEN diet & exercise works within days. Then, having the straight face to not mention using the latest weight loss drugs available to all celebrities from the "fat" ones (101 lbs, sarcasm) to those over 300 lbs😏
Just be honest with your fans - yeah, I took the magic pill, I started losing weight, my endorphins hit the roof & I instantly felt like exercising more and felt encouraged to eat healthier.
She looks so happy and vibrant! She looks better than I've ever seen her. Good for her!
Ricky, you look great and you have a beautiful home.
Good for Ricki for losing that weight and doing it naturally. I too was overweight and peri-menopausal at the time. At 53 I weighed in at 204 lbs and was sedentary, sluggish and feeling the effects of being overweight my entire life. I was a hormonal mess and just fed up with my joints hurting and being winded climbing (slowly) a flight of stairs. I white knuckled it and I lost 85 plus pounds and got down to around 117 lbs without the use of medication or surgery. It is definitely harder during our menopausal years because we lose hormones that help fight fat efficiently, but it definitely can be done with the right diet and exercise regimen.
I am in better shape now at 58 than I was in my 20s and 30s.
Don’t let all the ugly comments phase you. Truth cannot be changed by cynicism. The road to healthy weight management is lifelong as you are clearly aware. Stay the course and be the best version of yourself possible. Hater’s gonna hate regardless, but I for one applaud your decision to forge ahead without drugs!
👏👏👏
She has aged so well. She is beautiful.
Awww I miss Ricki Lake! She has a beautiful home tell her to start filming again❣️
Dude she looks amazing, so happy for her! I always liked her/her work!
Good for you Ricki! Everyone has their choice and it just makes me sad that people are not listening to Ozempic effects! I mean, when the studies show they will have thyroid cancer in 2 years? That would be enough to scare me off.
Ok so she mentioned in the video she did the Keto diet and when it works for folks it really does work.
Just like Kelly Clarkson. Suddenly diet and exercise are working for her! It's a miracle!
Sarcasm almost never works on these boards.
In our culture it’s so common now to say we shouldn’t JUDGE people.
But here we are accusing & convicting someone of something with ZERO proof!
I sure hope you’re not a Lawyer, Lynn, because if you were you’d be living on Food Stamps.
💕
@@akrenwinkle LOL! Yeah, it does!
@@roberthanisko9749 Stop being sarcastic.
@@Lauren-i8i You're being judgmental.
I use to watch the Ricki Lake show when I was a kid, she is very much nostalgic to me. I just remember thinking how nice she was and how she reminded me of a teacher. I’m so happy that she’s doing well.
Lost 180 pounds , got a divorce 😅
I hear you!!
If he was an average size man , you lost something like 380 pounds! Total respect for your accomplishment!
😂😂😂😂❤
🤣😂🤣 for me 280!!
It's how she constantly tackles every challenge with a smile and wonderful attitude
I’m happy she’s happy. ❤
Loved watching Ricki Lake Show yrs ago 💖 takes me back when my children were small 🥰
God bless you Ricki ❤ I’m glad you are doing good ❤
SHAME ON THOSE WHO USED OZEMPIC and did NOT have Type 2 Diabetes. My husband is Type 2 Diabetes since last 1990s; he’s tried Trulicity and other injectable drugs with rashes and whelps, had to stop those. For those who do not have Type 2 diabetes and using this drug possibly causing a shortage of this important drug for those who truly need it, SHAME ON YOU! My husband has diabetic retinopathy because of his diabetic condition - lost sight in one eye. If weight is all you suffer from, GET SOMETHING ELSE and leave the wonder drugs to those for whom it was meant.
I managed to lose 3 stone without a personal chef or drugs moved to France and swam every day for an hour, all you need to do not Diet but eat healthily and move keep moving. It’s amazing what would happen
She looks great. Love how she's embraced her 50s. All the best Ricki!
Ozempic changing lives
Ozempic babies is the new thing.
I have 3 relatives on Ozempic.
How weight loss drugs can change your life:
1. There is MASSIVE muscle loss - much more than without the drugs.
2. Thyroid Caner & Pancreatitis are a thing.
3. You really DO have to take them for life.
My sister said as soon as she stopped taking Ozempic the weight came back super fast with a vengeance - so now she’s back on it.
What would happen if some day she can’t afford these drugs any more?
There are many other considerations that
Dr. Mark Hyman covers in his videos on YT.
It’s smart to be informed before using this stuff.
Obesity has its own set of health care risks but these drugs haven’t had enough clinical trials to make me feel comfortable risking possibly even MORE side effects later.
But that’s just me.
💕
Keto
I love it! Do what works for you. I quit drinking 6 months ago and without really even trying it started me on a path of eating and living better! Small choices make big impacts over time. 18 lbs lost so far. 52 years old. Life is great!
Ms Ricki Lake has found thee Wisdom keys!! She looks natural fantastic. Bless her beautiful Heart!!
💐👍💎🙏🏼💐
That's awesome. I feel the same way. I'm 45 and finally I've found a program that works.
Proof of a smart lady. There is no quick fix to weight loss. Diet, exercise and patience always pays off. Congratulations Ms. Lake.
I love how she says "I love being my age"! Yay!!!! We need more ladies saying that!
When we stop criticizing women, more women will love their age.
Ricki looks great!!!! ❤
It really is so nice to see Ricki Lake so happy. What a sweet beam of light she has always been. Thank you for sharing your life with my family Ms. Lake❤.
I’ve always liked her. Her husband looks like a nice guy. I loved her on KoQ. I’m happy for her.
He looks 🌈
Wow she looks wonderful. Love the gray hair on her!
Ricki Lake you look so beautiful and I am so glad you are happy.
She looks great & looks to be extremely happy. What a beautiful thing ❤
I feel bad for Rikki Lake. For the rest of her life she will be defined by her weight. Like damn. Is 35 pounds that newsworthy?
Go Ricki Go Ricki !!!!
You are the sweetest person, I loved you overweight and how you are now, your weight never defined you. I am 79 years old and been 35 pounds overweight for 10 years now and just haven't had the well powder to get rid of it, and I know your way is the best way, not any of these drugs that are out now, life style change is it or it all comes back, we both know that don't we. Love you and so happy for you ♥
I am so happy for you both!!
Ricki has always been beautiful, and still is. She has the best smile.💖
I don't doubt for a second that she hasn't overhauled her lifestyle but this was absolutely aided by the help of a GLP-1 medication. I mean, she looks fantastic and is proof that these meds can help people struggling with lifelong obesity get their lives back. But if folks were just honest about using GLP-1's it would help destigmatize their use.
I get what you are saying, but there seems to be ZERO reason that she would outright lie here and even mention that her doctor offered her the drug. If she were going to lie about it, she just wouldn't bring it up. Also, she's been pretty honest about very personal things for most of her life. Just really wouldn't make sense for her to choose to openly lie here.
What evidence do you have to support that claim?
It’s wrong & unfair to claim something about someone without proof.
Why can’t we all just BE POLITE and
DO THE RIGHT THING?
You have no right to accuse anyone of anything unless you have proof.
It’s not that hard to be a DECENT human,
Deb Danielle!
💕
I always liked Ricki Lake. It's really good to see her living her best life and being in love ❤️ 🎉
Ozempic is a hell of a drug 🧐
You lose your appetite. Eat less.
@@Sharyk808you eat less
1. A MASSIVE amount of muscle loss (making the metabolism slow down even MORE.)
2. Increased risk of Thyroid Cancer &
Pancreatitis.
3. Must be on it for LIFE (or the weight piles back on very quickly.)
My Doctor offered it to me but there’s too many risks for me.
💕
Ozempic is a terrible drug and wait for the fall out, just like the Covid vaccines
She looks amazing at her age. Natural healthy and glowing.
Ricki looks amazing.
Congratulations to her! Such a great inspiration to so many that you can do it without medical assistance. Thank you for sharing ! ❤
So awesome!! You go girl- Wishing you the best and here's to the next 50..
Ricki Lake reunited my twin brother and biological father . It was 25 year reunion. She was a great host to such an emotional time.
Ricki looks great!!!
She looks amazing. I've been a fan since the 90s. If she returns to mainstream, I am right there. Go Ricki😊
Girl it’s called Ozempic, don’t be shy. It makes it easy to change your eating and lifestyle habits when you’re not hungry... I’m all for it, I lost 40lbs with Mounjaro 😅
And lol at 57 you’re very likely not perimenopausal Ricki. More like post menopausal.
How long did you try regular exercise and a healthy diet before you gave up?
Wow -
It’s yet ANOTHER person calling Ricki Lake a liar.
You shouldn’t accuse anyone of anything without solid proof!
💕
@@Lauren-i8i Not me. You responded to the wrong person.
Ricki Lake has aged very well. She looks better now than 30yrs ago.
No way. She looked best on DWTS. She looks better with a little weight.
I don't believe any of these celebrities not using ozempic.
Dang, Ricki has been losing 35 pounds since the early 90's.
😂😂😂I remember her messy ass talk show. Watched it everyday during the summer.
Her joy is envious, so happy for her❤
She looks amazing. Hair full of grey and barely any wrinkles on her face.
She should dye her hair.
She looks truly content with her life ❤
You look amazing and I love your gray hair! ❤
