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.
Unfortunately it is very hard to keep it down. Good luck!
@@maribelreyes6840lost and stayed on point - but I absolutely walk e erydsy - it’ds been a game changer - and health is wealth
@@susanferrisI was super unhealthy - hit breakdown point thought things would never change - I walk everyday all sorts of weather all sorts of hours. IF is much looser. Feel so much better
All these celebrities coming out and claiming they've found the key to weight loss all in the last 6 months or more. Truly amazing!
😂😂😂
Ozempics
I know, right?!
🤣My exact thoughts
They all lie. A life time of being big, and now skinny? They lie.
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.
I usually never like women letting it all go grey but she pulled it off ❤
You hit the nail on the head,she looks happy,content and has a mischievous twinkle in her eyes !She looks like fun to be around !👍
Yikes. No way. She’s gorgeous but aged herself 10 years
Needs to color her hair !white is Geezerish !
Boy, Ricki looks great!! Glad to hear her say “I’m so happy”. You don’t hear this enough from people.
She aged
Anyone can publicly claim too be happy. Everyone has a public face and a private face.
@@user-mf3fx9bv3hAnd???
@@3l3llala13Negative !!!!
Grew up watching Ricki Lake show in the 90s. She’s always been beautiful!! I’m so happy for her!
I miss those days.
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.
She seems nice and down to Earth!!
She looks beautiful
@@intuitivedianeshe looks odd
*_I was just saying I freakin love her & how unproblematic she’s always been!_*
*_Especially being famous since 18 years old.. When other celebs that we know who’ve been famous since the same age have been problematic AF.._*
*_If she could be super cool then age is no excuse to be a d*mb l*me!!_*
*_Anyway thanks for sharing this story.. Just makes me love her even more!!_* ❤🤗💕
@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. But usually, she just sat and read the paper and talked to her son, waiting for the Public City Bus. I always thought that detail about the city bus was super down to earth. You know... like, with the people ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾 😅❤️✌️🙏
Ricki Lake’s a darling..Always been upbeat and transparent!! Good for her
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.
The is all so true!
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.
Her privilege? She worked hard to get where she is.
@@lkrzzieBaloney. You walk to do shopping. You go to local parks.
The happy that Ricki feels is HEALTHY. She is healthy. Good for you, lady! What an inspiration. So much love.
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.
What did you do? I’m around 165 trying so hard to get to 145. I’m 35 and struggling.
@@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.
Mediterranean Living and Healthy Elizabeth are two great YT channels that have lots of great meal ideas
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 RUclips videos that are helpful for weight loss that only go for ten minutes so no excuses to move. Good luck.
Thank you for sharing your info/journey (since Meryisi (forgive if misspelled). Helpful.
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.
Good on you!!! Would love to ditch ozempic and HBP meds. :)
👏👏👏
Fabulous. ❤
Did you follow a specific book or tips? Thanks! Way to go!!!🎉
@@LadiesofPurposeTV just go on RUclips 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.
She has something that is really lacking in celebrities today. Authenticity. really happy for her!! Watched her since the 90s and always been a fan!
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.
Yeah eating Taco Bell does that to people.
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.
👏👏👏
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.
She's an actress. What exactly is acting? Being someone else, saying things you don't mean.
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.
💕
@@user-ex3mx7hk4l Be honest... you're 12?
Many be cynical Just ignore. Its obvious Ms Lake always has been positive & upbeat. She's natural ..
Wow she is still so beautiful😊
Seriously! She’s aged gracefully. In fact, she probably looks her best right now!
Facts 💯
Ricki & her husband look fabulous! I am so glad they did it together!
He's 🌈
Love Ricki Lake, she looks stunning and rocking her gray hair, OMG love this so much.
I'm a nearly 40 yo who grew up with you on Ricki Lake all the way on the other side of the world, i am tickled to see you so happy, healthy and living the dream ❤❤
It’s been 36 years and they’re still talking about Ricki’s weight and size 😒
Correction. Ricki is talking about Ricki's s weight and size.
She's taking about it. Ricki has always been open and transparent about her weight.
@@roberthanisko9749exactly
She’s aged really well
She looks better now than when she was young ❤
Maybe had some Botox or facelift back in her past!
This woman seems sincere. Cutting out bread and sugar is hard. Good for her for doing it.
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!
She looks amazing. Hair full of grey and barely any wrinkles on her face.
She should dye her hair.
Good for her, and her honesty is refreshing.
It is called a photo op, necessary to try and be "relevant", the emphasis is on the word "try", because that can mean money, your national god.
@@IbnBahtuta
Proof that negative, snarky sarcasm lives.
But the question is why?
Why be this way, Bahtuta?
❓❓❓
💕
@@user-ex3mx7hk4l Snarky? Snarky and Hutch? You are entitled to your opinion "user" and so am I.
The fact that we do not agree is perfectly normal. For your information, that was not me being sarcastic, perhaps you should look the word up in a dictionary.
So, "user" thank you for reaching out to me from all the millions of commenters here on RUclips, I'm sure you'll understand that this is me being sarcastic, if you do look up its definition.
I bid you farewell.
@@IbnBahtuta🙄
She looks great. Love how she's embraced her 50s. All the best Ricki!
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!!
Ricky, you look great and you have a beautiful home.
Omg, she's beautiful !!! You go girl !!!
Ricki looks great!!!! ❤
I love her positivity!
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.❤
I’ve always loved her. I’m so happy . Thank you for sharing this
❤. We LOVE Ricki Lake!
She has always been so genuine, open and courageous.
Time to go learn more about her life because she is my new role model!
👏👏👏
That's awesome. I feel the same way. I'm 45 and finally I've found a program that works.
OmG!
I love , love , love Rickyyyyy Lake! I moved from Puerto Rico to Chicago, when I was 14, and she was a school for me!
So happy for you Ricki. I'm sure you have helped a lot of people. Sending peace-filled thoughts to everyone.
Congratulations to her! Such a great inspiration to so many that you can do it without medical assistance. Thank you for sharing ! ❤
"This is what happy looks like." I absolutely love that! You look AMAZING, Ricki Lake! I grew up with you and now I'll grow old with you. You're an inspiration. Way to go. I love that you are doing this without drugs! Bravo!!
Ricky has been amazing at all ages and all weights. I’m so happy that she’s happy!
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❤.
She is so beautiful! Just happy and glowey ! Her home is beautiful as well. She def is inspiring me!
I love how she says "I love being my age"! Yay!!!! We need more ladies saying that!
Proof of a smart lady. There is no quick fix to weight loss. Diet, exercise and patience always pays off. Congratulations Ms. Lake.
She is just beautiful!! Well done lady!!
So awesome!! You go girl- Wishing you the best and here's to the next 50..
I love Ricki Lake at every size. She is a beautiful and smart person:)
I always liked Ricki Lake. It's really good to see her living her best life and being in love ❤️ 🎉
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
Ricki Lake I am so proud of you I just love you 1990 you reunited my daughter and the father we sought with her dad
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!
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.
Awww I miss Ricki Lake! She has a beautiful home tell her to start filming again❣️
I love Ricki Lake. I think I have seen everything she has been in. I loved her talk show too. I haven't seen her in anything lately, and I miss her.
Ricki Lake reunited my twin brother and biological father . It was 25 year reunion. She was a great host to such an emotional time.
I adore her! So happy she's happy and her and her man decided to make lifestyle changes organically!! I've met her and had a convo and she TRULY is a down to earth, genuinely nice person GOOO RICKY ❤❤
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.
I applaud you Ricky. You found the key to real happiness and the true answer. We need more examples like you. Starts from within and it shows 💗
Keto is the way! I was 302 and now I'm 200 with more to go but Keto does work.
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.
She looks amazing at her age. Natural healthy and glowing.
God bless you Ricki ❤ I’m glad you are doing good ❤
She looks truly content with her life ❤
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.
@@user-ex3mx7hk4l You're being judgmental.
Ricki Lake you look so beautiful and I am so glad you are happy.
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 ♥
She looks amazing. I've been a fan since the 90s. If she returns to mainstream, I am right there. Go Ricki😊
Dude she looks amazing, so happy for her! I always liked her/her work!
Go Ricki Go Ricki !!!!
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.
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!
This actually helped me. I’ve lost around 40lbs just by intermittent fasting, not even super strictly, and watching carb intake. I still feel like I’m not good enough in a lot of ways.
I cried for your happiness because I’m the luckiest girl in the world too! I found love for the first time and married him at 52. I already was in a lifestyle change and he came along and matched my energy. I also feel that this is the beginning or just a new chapter and better than the other chapters, I’m very happy for you and I’ve been following you for all your career. It is nice to see you Extra happy. continued blessings❣️ Mrs. Louve
Amazing journey and transformation. Ive always loved you ❤. I'm on the same journey. You're such an inspiration xx
I’m happy she’s happy. ❤
Her joy is envious, so happy for her❤
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
She looks great!
Absolutely 👍
I just love her positive energy and love of life!❤
I’ve always liked her. Her husband looks like a nice guy. I loved her on KoQ. I’m happy for her.
He looks 🌈
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 love Ricki Lake,❤ Glad to see her again & happy.
You look amazing and I love your gray hair! ❤
I am so happy for you both!!
She looks wonderful ! I am so happy for her. ❤
I'm glad she did it her way, hard work, consistency aka naturally! We need more stories like these. Not a pill or injection for instant gratification!!
She truly looks amazing!
Ricki looks great!!!
Always loved Ricki Lake and happy to see her so happy!
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!
👏👏👏
Wow , remember coming home from school watching Ricki Lake so nostalgic
Ricki looks amazing.
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.
So proud of you for not opting for medication when weight loss can be achieved through consistent exercise and healthy eating. I know this because I live this!!
I love ricki lake. she just has such a good head on her shoulders!
Yay! Hubby and I did the same thing they did for life. We lost weight and have kept it off. I love it!
Lookin Amazing!!! 🤩 many Blessings to Ricki Lake ♥️
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?
She looks so happy, so beautiful, really at peace
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
Shes still so gorgeous
