Actress and former talk show host, Ricki Lake is stunned by how fat she used to be. According to reports online she has lost 140 pounds to bring her weight to a healthy 130. She is not only adamant that she did it without surgery, but says that she will do her best to maintain her figure.

She was quoted in an interview saying, “I can`t believe I was a fat person for most of my life. I didn`t have surgery and I worked hard. There`s no secret. I`m active. I watch what I eat.”

In spite of her weight loss, Lake is realistic about what the future may hold. “I can`t promise I will be like this forever,” she said. Aside from her long running talk show, Lake has appeared in the sitcom The King of Queens and in the film Mrs. Winterbourne.
