Shrinking Ricki Lake


Yep, Ricki Lake is the latest star to grace US Weekly magazine, proudly proclaiming that she went from 250 pounds to 123 pounds - a size 24 to a size 4 - without surgery! Perfect timing, since she just debuted The Business of Being Born, a doc about home birth and midwifery.
On crash dieting in 1991: “… I went on this extreme diet. I used to faint because I wasn’t eating and I was always exercising.”
On the most exciting thing about her new weight: “For the longest time, when I was very heavy, I couldn’t cross my legs. I couldn’t physically do it. LOVE that I can cross my legs now ... Even my shoe size is changing. My Jimmy Choos are too big now.”

On what she thinks of super-skinny actresses: “I think I have no wrinkles because I always had fat on my face. Really skinny girls age so fast.”
