RICKI LAKE – DIET AND EXERCISE

Ricki Lake is an American TV personality who is best known as a heavyset 16-year-old high school student Tracy Turnblad in the 80’s movie Hairspray. Lake has appeared in many other movies and television series. She is also an author. She spent her teenage career weighing at least 200 pounds of weight. Lake struggled with weight loss during her early years and though she was proud of her size, it started to create problems for her.

After much consideration, she tried the Atkins diet which cost her approximately $100 a week. Her efforts and investment money paid off when she dropped about 100 pounds after finishing the program. Sadly, she started to take on weight during the grieving process after her divorce with Christian Evans. Eventually, she was motivated to have an exercise routine to reduce her weight and keep a healthy body.
