Ricki Lake took to Instagram on February 24 to share her and her husband Ross Burningham’s remarkable health journey, revealing a combined weight loss of over 30 pounds in the last four months. The couple committed to getting “healthier” towards the end of 2023 and documented their progress through photos.
The Instagram post includes snapshots of the couple during their daily hike, two initial photos of Lake at the beginning of their journey, and a recent photo showcasing her weight loss in workout attire. In the caption, Lake expressed her desire to share their journey, emphasizing that their transformation was achieved without relying on pharmaceuticals.
Lake, 55, mentioned that both she and Burningham were not pre-diabetic, and despite the challenges posed by perimenopause, they wanted to attempt the weight loss journey independently. She expressed concerns about losing weight at her age but celebrated the success, feeling proud, amazing, and strong.
The actress and former talk show host has been on a journey of self-love and self-acceptance since New Year’s Eve in 2019 when she shaved her head due to hair loss. Lake has openly shared her experiences, including a raw video footage of the transformative moment three years later.
In the post, Lake highlighted the importance of peace, liberation, and self-love, encouraging others facing challenges to find similar acceptance. She marked the four-year anniversary of shaving her head at the end of 2023, acknowledging the profound transformation beyond the physical aspect.
Before embarking on her recent health journey, Lake celebrated self-acceptance in a June 2023 Instagram post, posing nude in an outdoor tub. She expressed gratitude for reaching a point of complete self-acceptance and self-love.
