Following in the Dancing with the Stars weight loss footsteps of Kirstie Alley and Kelly Osbourne, Ricki Lake dramatically dropped several dress sizes and lost a whopping 20 pounds after appearing on the popular show.
Lake, who is getting ready to wed Christian Evans, reportedly credits her weight loss success to eating 1400 calories a day, getting 8 hours of sleep per night, and hours of dance training daily.
