Ricki Lake: 'I'll never be as thin as Chynna Phillips, Jennifer Grey'

Ricki Lake has said that she never expects to look like fellow Dancing with the Stars contestant Chynna Phillips or former winner Jennifer Grey, regardless of how much weight she loses.

The actress and talk show host has previously credited the ABC competition with helping her to lose "a lot of weight" and several dress sizes.

Lake has since revealed that while she continues to be pleased with her progress, she knows that her body type is different from the typical celebrity's.

"I'll never look like these women and these professional dancers," she explained to People.

"I've lost a lot of inches all over. Definitely in my arms, and my arms were particularly one of the things I hated most about my body, so it's nice to see them slimming down."

Lake went on to say that she and Dancing with the Stars partner Derek Hough are continuing to give the competition their all, adding: "I'm exhausted. I'm committing to this 110%... coming in with a good attitude... and going home and eating a balanced meal. It's really that simple."

Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays and Tuesdays on ABC.
