Look at Ricki now! Not bad, she is now 140 lbs. from her all-time top weight of 270 pounds! "I can't believe I was a fat person for most of my life," the former talk show host, rocking a sexy black Herve Leger dress (size small), told PEOPLE at a recent benefit for the New Space for Women's Health, a New York City birthing center slated to open in 2010, as mentioned by PEOPLE.

"I didn't have surgery and I worked hard. There's no secret. I'm active. I watch what I eat," Lake, 40, adds. According to Hollywood standards, I'm not a thin girl. I'm a normal girl.I don't want to perpetuate that obsession but yet I am also guilty of wanting ... to lose weight. I'm just grateful that I have sons and not daughters because it's that much harder," she says.
All l can say is she is looking HOT.
