The single mom of sons, Milo, 10, and Owen, 5, recently made her triumphant walk back into the public eye on The View last week and proudly showed off her hard earned efforts. Within hours she was flooded with requests from the weekly magazines to tell them how she finally won her two decades long weight loss battle.
The final push came with an invitation from the Tribeca Film Festival to show her new documentary, The Business About Being Born, which honors home birth and midwifrey at their annual festival.
She says, "I looked at the calender after the movie got into the Tribeca Film Festival. I was so excited about people seeing the film, but I also wanted to feel great in my skin when I walked down the red carpet on April 29. And I did. I started February 7. I was so committed. I just wanted people to notice me."
She started out in February weighing 150 and the final result: "One-twenty-three! My size 10s were tight when I started. I had a pair of pants that I couldn't get up and now they're swimming on me. My body changed quickly. I went shopping for the premier thinking I was a 6. I was told I'm a 4. I'm like, When am I going to wake up?"
How did she do it? She started using a food delivery program called, Fresh Dining that delivers her daily meals every morning. She also stared hiking four times a week. Like many others, she's not a fan of gyms and tries to get her exercise in outside!
She does see a positive side in her past weight struggles. She admits, "I think I have no wrinkles because I always had fat on my face. Really skinny girls age so fast."
Four years following her divorce, Ricki is also turning her head towards the future and venturing back into the dating market. She says, "I want to have fun! I'm not looking to marry or have more children. The biological clock isn't ticking. I have money and I don't need someone to take care of me. I just need someone who can take care of himself. If you know someone, let me know."
