Ricki Lake Shows Off 30-Lb Weight Loss And Says She’s In ‘The Best Shape’ Of Her Life As Fans React: ‘Another Ozempic Story’

How Did Ricki Lake Lose 30 Lbs.?

On February 24th, Lake opened up to her Instagram followers about her super-impressive weight loss, and made it clear that she did not go down the weight loss injections route.

"Hi friends. I've been wanting to share with you what I've been up to these last 4 months," Lake's post began. "On October 26th, 2023 I made a commitment to myself to get healthier. My husband, Ross joined me in this effort. Together we have each lost 30+ lbs. I really want to share, because we did this without relying on a pharmaceutical. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.) But neither of us were pre diabetic and both of us felt like we wanted to at least try and do it on our own."

"Being 55 and in perimenopause, I was a bit worried, that my body would not drop the lbs like it had in the past," Lake continued, adding: "I am so so proud of us. I feel amazing. I feel strong."

Some Fans Don't Think Ricki Lake Is Telling The Whole Truth

Although Lake maintained that she didn't use weight loss injections to slim down, some of her fans didn't seem to buy it, and made their opinions known on social media. "Another Ozempic story," one skeptical fan commented on one of her Instagram posts about her weight loss, to which Lake directly replied: "Nope. Guess again."

Another doubter commented: "Every single suddenly thin celeb: Jessica Simpson, Jay Z, Kelly Clarkson, Oprah, all the Kardashians, all of them are using semaglutide to lose lbs. Maybe it's 'Mounjaro' and not 'Ozempic' but it's all due to medications." And Lake once again shut them down, and replied: "NOT me."
