Ricki Lake is sharing her story of healthy weight loss in hopes of inspiring others.
The 55-year-old actress and former talk show host was in attendance at the 50th annual Good Neighbor Gala in New York City on Thursday — an event benefitting the non-profit organization Community Access — and she spoke with ET about her impressive weight loss journey.
“I’m really happy,” Lake shared with a smile. “[And]I think it’s forever.”
“I think I have to keep this up. I mean, I don’t know if I can keep up being physically this fit, but I’m going to hike every morning and be out in nature,” Lake added. “It’s really a mindset.”
Lake attended the event with her husband,Ross Burningham , and she explained that they “made a pact” to motivate and help one another after tying the knot in January 2022.
“We found each other later in life, we’re in our 50s. I’m 55. I want to feel as good as I possibly can for as long as I can,” she shared, “and that involves daily exercise, mindfulness practice, good sleep, and having a lot of fun. Like, I have so much fun.”
