Work It Out, Girl!

Big girl, you are beautiful!

She may be less than half the size of her former self, but Ricki Lake will always be part of the big girls' club…and she's an inspiration to us all!

The former fattie looked marvelous at a special screening of her documentary, The Business of Being Born, Wednesday night at the IFC Centre in New York City.

Do your thing, honey!

Re: Silly – She did loose weight. She was over 250 pounds and now she weighs about 125 pounds. How much more weight do you want the woman to loose?

She is still fat and ugly!!!!!
blablabla says – reply to this

44

So glad she takes control of her life and makes her weight what SHE wants it to be.

Too bad she doesn't have the sense to wear a dress more fitting to her shape. This belongs on a much slimmer body.
Emma says – reply to this

the drugs in Britney's nose says – reply to this

56

How can she attend a premiere of her movie and sit through it when everyone there will be seeing her Va-j-j on camera! Sorry babe but there's nothing beautiful about seeing a vagina spew out a baby.
sandy says – reply to this

57

I can't believe anyone would say she needs to lose more weight???? Please…the girl looks FABULOUS!! And her legs are slammin'. You go girl!
doit says – reply to this

Re: Gigi –
Excuse me but she weighed 145 at her thinnest before she got pregnant. She has never and will never be 125. She is also not pretty at all. I don't know why people call her good looking.
Sarah says – reply to this

59

Dammmmnnnn Ricky! I was just watching Crybaby the other night and was like, "who is that fat chick? She looks so familiar…OMG IT'S RICKI LAKE!" Now she's all lookin smokin and shit. Look at them calves! Go Girl!

Loady Smurf says – reply to this

64

She looks AMAZING!!! Its great to see her looking great and feeling good. She is the sweetest, most genuine person. I got to serve her striped sea bass diner at a art exhibit for John Waters, like 2-3 years ago. I thought she looked great then, and now she looks even better. GO RICKI!!!!

She claims she is a size TWO and 123 pounds at 5'2". Bull shit LIAR. I am 103 pounds and wear a size TWO at 5'3".
And I look no where as fat as she does ! What a liar !!!!
She has thunder thighs and the fat is pouring over the top of her dress.
She's lucky if she is a size 10 !!!
SydneyJordan in LALA Land says – reply to this

67

That is Dress looks Tight on top! Not a good cut for her bust line at all. YUCKY! It's sad..she has come a long way to lose a person and to show up on a red carpet with boobs pushed on over flow. Fire your stylist!!!

wow! she looks beautiful!
Kalie says – reply to this

She looks GREAT. But I've heard her say she's a size 2. As great as she looks, that is no size 2.
WC says – reply to this

71

Im sorry but you can be 123 pds and 5'2 and still wear a size two. I weigh 127 am 5'0 wearing a size four. She looks great. Its not about the fat hanging out of the top of the dress, its about the fact that she decided to lose some weight. Give her some kind of credit.

Terrible photos just awful. And why on earth all of Hollywood "starts" have to pose as if they are models selling the clothes? I do hate that back pose tilting the head backwards to the viewer that they ALL do! Only Marilyn Monroe could get away with that and she was pocking fun at herself!
Jen says – reply to this

79

She looks good. I wish I could look that "bad" but she's been promoting this movie for MONTHS now. Frankly, I'm sick of hearing about it.

♥♥♥♥LoL People are soo funny here…but either way I always give credit to people who lose all that weight…she looks good either way…GO RICKI!♥♥♥
Tiandu says – reply to this

83

She needs to tuck her boobs (especially her left boob) into her dress better. And, invest in a better bra/wear a bra, or a bustier. They make bras that won't show straps, and low backed bustiers for dresses like that. Proper undergarments are important, or you will spoil the line of your garment!
Tiandu says – reply to this

84

Don't get me wrong. She's beautiful, and looks so much more healthy now, than when she was very heavy. She has just made the same error as other women have. She hasn't made sure to "check the girls" and adjust them so the top looks its best. Remember Posh? Same deal with Ricky.

She has done a fabulous job of losing all the weight, but the outfit and the hair suck big time, very 80's. She needs a makeover.
Sonia says – reply to this

91

It's great that she lost so much weight, and great that she's got such confidence, but that is definitely NOT the dress for her.
Tiffany says – reply to this
