HELLO RICKY MY NAME IS ESHA AN I DONT NO IF YOU WILL GET THIS OR NOT BUT I AM A SINGEL MOM OF FOUR AN I WANT THE BEST FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN I AM STUCK WITHOUT ANY FAMILY OR FAMILY FOR MY KIDS AND WE REALLY NEED HELP WITH MONEY AN A CAR AN I NO THAT MAYBE IF WE CUD TALK AND YOU NO MY STORY YOU CUD MAYBE HELP ME!IF SO E MAIL ME AND MAYBE WE CUD TALK

Ricky Lake looks great and it sounds like she feels great and she should. All the jealous, negative, miserable and lonely people should stop the hate'n, start congratulate'n and discipline yourselves to find your own weight loss regime that works for you and stick with it. It's not easy at all and it is a daily conscience process, however it can be done.

The meal plan she used is called Fresh Dining which is not offered nationally, however I just lost 100lbs in 7 months (in addition to cheating during the holiday season, here and there over these months) using Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating Plan. Visit seattlesutton.com for more info. I also exercise on a regular basis (belly dance class, recumbent bike, weights, stairs at work, etc.)

Heard u on Howard Last week your looking good and hope every thing you do turns to gold. Nice job

"Iwonder how she got those 2-4 sizes. I am the same height and weight and could't get in them sizes if I tried. Get real. I'ts almost the same thing as people lying about their age. Her looks don't lie. She's not a 2-4 unless its really a 12-14. I give it to her for losing weight but not telling the right sizes is terrible. Or maybe not telling a size at all would be better. It certainly wont make you thinner by saying a small number. you are what you are."

In response to that, everyone is built differently. I weigh 147, about 2-3 pounds more than a friend of mine, and I wear a size 6 while she wears a size 8 or 10. Yes, it's entirely possible that Ricki wears a 2 or 4 even if you can't.

Now, how 'bout everyone stopping with the ugly comments? Instead of being catty and snotty like the tabloids, why don't you all show some class? Some of you are like a bunch of crows, just waiting to peck the eyes out of a weak animal.

Ricky Lake came out several years ago promoting her gastric bypass and lost a good deal of weight. The surgery doesn't go away and you just have to start working with it again and dieting with exercise. However, you still have a smaller stomach than before regardless of gaining weight over time. The article isn't really being honest and she still has the tool for weight loss with the surgery.

the diet is similar to nutri system.. it is called fresh dining and and is located in ca and orange county only. try nutri system... good luck!

I'm a Norwegian (see other posts), and I say: GREAT JOB RICKI!!!!

I also apologize for some of the ridicoulus statements done by some of my fellow Norwegians, who clearly have not even been outside their own county borders, and are therefore capable of coming with such sad statements. Most Norwegians don't think like this (see above), but "those select few" were sadly born in our country and there is little to do about it, but ignore it.

Again Ricki, this is awesome. I'm very happy on your behalf.

Hey folkens...veeldig mange amerikanere spiser jo bare skit. Det er ett land fullt av motsetninger og dobbelmoral. "De eter seg fete eller skviser seg ned til size zero mens de snakker om hvor tykk eller tynn en eller anne celeb har blitt".

Well, it's nice to see how mt fellow norwegians argument here. One comment to the article says something about American food and eating habits, and the other comment is a critique of the first writers english skills. I agree with Norwegian as to the food in the US, but to generalize and say "all" americans are fat is a bit rough. Overweight and obesity is a major healt problem in the US, and after seeing the movie "Super Size Me" I can understand that eating cheap is easier than eating healty.
Anyway, McGroovey; Argumentene dine SUGER. Hehe. Fittetryne.

For those who don't understand Norwegian, i just told McGroovey off, bigtime. ;)

McGroovy doesnt really sound like a Norwegian last name! So my guess are that you are a person like i described in my comment. just offended by the truth...
And at least I have a 2nd languge.... Guess you dont!

Hvis du virkelig er Norsk, så må jeg si du er rimelig dum som ikke skjønner at jeg fyrer litt på idiotene.

You fat stupid, bad eating yankees!

Rest of Europe,( as you probalbly dont know, Europe are a Continent NOT a country), cant belive the amount of food you Americans are eating every day.
Every grocery in US have unhealthy food in their shelfs and you people buy it smiling.
(I have been visiting your country, shocked, so i know what im talking about.)
You even have small electrical cars in your shopping malls so you lazy ,fat bodies dont get ANY exercise.

After you finshed consuming unhealty food, you get out in your hig pollution pick-up truck with a unnessesary big engine, trying to be World champions in global warming!

But all you can discuss is if Ricky Lake had a personal trainer or not... what size she gets into etc.

Guess you people only ignors things that really matters.

Norwegian, male 28

BIG DEAL! I did that and I am not on the cover of a magazine, without a trainer just me. I lost 100 pounds in 11 months.

Iwonder how she got those 2-4 sizes. I am the same height and weight and could't get in them sizes if I tried. Get real. I'ts almost the same thing as people lying about their age. Her looks don't lie. She's not a 2-4 unless its really a 12-14. I give it to her for losing weight but not telling the right sizes is terrible. Or maybe not telling a size at all would be better. It certainly wont make you thinner by saying a small number. you are what you are.

OMG!! rickie looks great she lost so much weight. im gald for her and i wish she come on tv with her on show again.

come on with the size 4 or 2 bit. and that spare tire around the middle isn't too hot looking either. yes she did lose weight along with a lot of other people, but she sure isnt a size 4 or im a ------4. she's got more too loose in my eyes. the picture of her on the front page does her no justice .i thought for 125 lbs she'd look a lot better. Id be imbarrested to try and say I was 125lbs and look like that.
