See, if we all had time to dance for five hours a day, not counting performances, losing that extra weight would be easy. Ricki Lake’s adding her name to the list of celebrities who have participated in what has become America’s favorite unofficial dieting reality show – Dancing With the Stars.
She might not have lost the 100 pounds that Kristie Alley dropped on the show, but Lake is clearly enjoying her significant drop, and looking healthy and fabulous while doing it. She’s also maintaining a healthy attitude towards the process. As Lake told the Huffington Post:
“I don’t know. I didn’t weigh myself at the beginning. I’m definitely a size six now. I’ll probably be a size four by the end of it. It’s come to the point where it doesn’t matter. I no longer wear Spanx. I don’t have lumps where I used to. I will weigh myself at the end. I really like where my body is going. My waist has never been smaller.”
Lake also claimed to not be a “natural dancer” in her interview with HuffPo, but the fact that she’s odds on favorite to be in the top two says otherwise. Like her weight loss, Lake seems to be approaching the competition with a healthy, balanced attitude. Will it take her to the trophy? We’ll have to wait and see.
