The former talk show host, 55, shared the health change she undertook with her husband in an Instagram post on Saturday.
“Hi friends. I’ve been wanting to share with you what I’ve been up to these last 4 months,” Lake captioned a carousel of photos, including of her and her husband Ross Burningham and a mirror selfie showing off the transformation. In October, “I made a commitment to myself to get healthier.”
“I really want to share, because we did this without relying on a pharmaceutical. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.) But neither of us were prediabetic and both of us felt like we wanted to at least try and do it on our own,” she wrote.
The “Hairspray” actress continued: “Being 55 and in perimenopause, I was a bit worried that my body would not drop the lbs like it had in the past. I am so so proud of us. I feel amazing. I feel strong.”
She said she was about 170 lbs. when she started the weight loss process. Lake noted the first photo she posted, a selfie with her husband walking behind her while both were on a hike, was taken over the weekend, while the second and third photos were taken in November.
In the fourth photo, Lake showed a side profile in the mirror, dressed in a sports bra and leggings. In the fifth, the “Cry-Baby” actress included a screenshot of her weight, 140 lbs., as of Saturday.
“I will go in depth in another post of what I did exactly, but suffice to say this is the healthiest way I’ve lost weight in all of my years,” Lake wrote.
