In a photo posted to Instagram, former talk show host and actress Ricki Lake showed off her impressive 30-pound drop. Lake is down from 165 lbs to 135 lbs.
After seeing this, there was much speculation among fans that Lake’s major weight loss was due to Ozempic, however, the actress put those rumors to rest quickly.
Ozempic is a drug typically used to treat type 2 diabetes but has been growing in popularity due to its aid in weight loss.
Lake was proud of herself and her husband for dropping the weight and was applauding their good work with an honorary Instagram post.
The caption of an Instagram carousel read, “Hi friends. I’ve been wanting to share with you what I’ve been up to these last four months. 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.

Ricki Lake has said that she is "madly in love" with fiancé Christian Evans and can't wait to tie the knot. The couple announced their engagement in August after beginning their relationship during summer 2010. Talkshow host Lake told The Huffington Post that she did not expect to want to marry again after her 2003 divorce from Rob Sussman. "I just want to marry him. The fact that I'm saying that - a year ago I never would have imagined being in this place where I wanted to marry," she explained. "I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that. I thought, 'I don't need to be married, I'll be independent. I'll just date,' and then I met this amazing person. We really complement each other. I need him and he needs (more)...

The talk show host - who performs with professional partner Derek Hough on the show - is pleased to have lost weight on her arms because she "hated" that part of her body.
Ricki - who announced her engagement to Christian Evans in August - told People.com: "I've lost a lot of inches all over. Definitely in my arms, and my arms were particularly one of the things I hated most about my body, so it's nice to see them slimming down."
But the 43-year-old brunette is not setting her sights on looking like 'Dirty Dancing' star Jennifer Grey and singer-and-actress Chynna Phillips - who was voted off the competition last week - despite giving "110 per cent" effort on the programme.
She added: "I'll never look like these women and these professional dancers.

Ricki Lake knows the transformation that can take place to a celebrity's body while he or she is on "Dancing With the Stars," so she's putting off buying her wedding dress until her hopefully slimmer shape emerges.
"I'm going to wait until I can go as far as I can go in this competition [to get my body in the best shape], then start trying on dresses," the actress tells People.
"When I lost weight a couple years ago, I weighed less than I do now, probably 10 pounds. But there is a difference. I didn't work out with that - it was a crash diet.

She’s brightly optimistic about part deux of wedded bliss saying, “I’m totally in love. I’m happier than I’ve ever been.” How about some dates, venues, and other deet’s, guys? Mazel Tov!

Ricki Lake has ruled out having children with her new partner, insisting she is "happy to enjoy the next phase" of her life.
The 42-year-old former talk show host has been dating Christian Evans since last summer following her divorce from artist Rob Sussman, the father of her two sons, in 2003 after 10 years of marriage.
Lake admits the couple has discussed the possibility of another kid - Evans also has a child from a previous relationship - but they've decided against expanding their brood.
She tells iVillage.com, "I thought about it. When you fall in love it's something you talk about. The idea of having a lovechild with him is amazing, and I loved being pregnant and giving birth, but raising children is so hard, and it gets harder and harder as you go along.
"Teenagers are so tough - and I have a good one! (Christian) has a child as well. So we're okay; we have our brood and we're really happy to enjoy this next phase of our lives."...
