Ricki Lake Can't Believe She Was Ever Fat

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment, Nutrition & Supplements

Ricki LakeRicki Lake once weighed 270 pounds and now that she's holding steady at 140, she just can't believe she was ever so fat.

"I can't believe I was a fat person for most of my life," says the 40-year-old former talk show host.

How did the star transform her body? There was no surgery, just lots of hard work. Basically, Ricki stays active and eats right -- she sticks to fresh, organic meals delivered by a service called Fresh Dining. And she has no plans for pigging out on Christmas, because she doesn't want to balloon and gain weight ever again. Perhaps peer pressure will keep her on her toes. "According to Hollywood standards, I'm not a thin girl," she says. "I'm a normal girl."

Normal looks pretty good on Ricki, doesn't it?
