The Moon Manor star shared another photo on her Instagram Stories showing her and her husband, Ross Burningham’s weight loss.
Ross looked dapper in a black suit and white shirt as he placed his hand on Ricki’s butt.
Hairspray live! The actress, who said the couple lost pounds through hard work and commitment, rather than a drug like Ozempic, gave a hint about the plan they used to lose weight quickly.
He wrote ‘Keto’ among the mantras placed around the brooch.
The Keto or ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat program that puts the body into a state called ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates.
Celebrities such as Melissa McCarthy, Al Roker, Gwyneth Paltrow, Megan Fox and Vanessa Hudgens have promoted the weight loss plan.
US News and World Report ranked Keto the worst for healthy eating due to concerns about its long-term sustainability and potential health risks.
Because those on the diet consume high amounts of saturated fat through meat, there is concern that it increases the risk of heart disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the US, killing nearly 700,000 people a year.
The outfit Ricki wore in her comparison photos was the same one she wore to the 74th Annual ACE Eddie Awards ceremony, where she was a presenter.
The actress shared a photo on her Instagram Stories showing her and her husband, Ross Burningham’s weight loss, with the word ‘Keto’ giving a hint as to how they lost weight. Ross looked dapper in a black suit as he placed his hand on Ricki’s butt.
In late February, she took to her main Instagram page to share before and after snaps from her weight loss journey with her husband, Ross Burningham.
Ricky shared a recent photo flaunting her slimmer figure in a black sports bra and black leggings to better show off the progress. She revealed that she and Ross started their diet on October 26.
The former talk show host revealed her dramatic weight loss in late February when she took to her main Instagram page to share before and after snaps from her and Ross’s weight loss journey.
He also wrote to his followers: ‘Hello friends. I wanted to share with you what I have been doing these last 4 months. On October 26, 2023 I made a commitment to myself to be healthier.’
‘My husband, Ross, joined me in this effort. Together we have lost over 30 pounds. I really want to share it, because we did this without relying on a pharmaceutical product. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
The actress added: “But neither of us were pre-diabetic and we both felt like we wanted to at least try to do it on our own.”
“Being 55 years old and in perimenopause, I was a little worried that my body wouldn’t lose the pounds like it had in the past.”
She also gushed: ‘I’m so proud of us. I feel incredible. I feel strong. I’ll go into more detail in another post about exactly what I did, but suffice it to say, this is the healthiest way I’ve lost weight in all my years.’
In the post, Ricky included a snap with Ross on their ‘daily walk’, as well as some previous snaps. He also flaunted his slimmer figure in a black sports bra and black leggings to better show off his progress.
The star also shared a screenshot of a graph to show where her weight was before the trip to where it is now.
In another post, she once again gave her fans a glimpse of her weight loss in a red minidress she had worn 17 years earlier for a magazine cover.
‘Then and now. 2007-2024,” Ricki wrote in the caption. “I held on to this #NormaKamali jumpsuit for all these years wondering if I could ever wear it again.”
Ricki has also been candid about “secretly battling androgenic hair loss” for decades.

In late 2010, she told Good Morning America, after losing 130 pounds, that “being fat worked, and I think that’s what confused me for a long time in my career.”
‘Throughout my adolescence and, you know, after adolescence, I got bigger and bigger. I had the worst, worst eating habits.
Ricki has also been candid about “secretly battling androgenic hair loss” for decades. In 2019, he noticeably shaved off his locks and began using the Harklinikken treatment to help his hair grow back.
