The 55-year-old actress took to Instagram on Monday to share a photo of herself in a red one-piece swimsuit she wore for a Us Weekly magazine cover shoot in 2007.
‘Then and now,’ she wrote in her caption as she showed off the results of her 30lb weight loss transformation amid perimenopause.
‘I held onto this #NormaKamali one-piece for all these years wondering if I would ever be able to wear it again,’ she added.
The Hairspray star also added a series of motivational hashtags to her caption: ‘#nofilter #nomakeup #hardwork #this is 55 #grateful #strong #happy #healthy #proud’.

Her post included a photo of a copy of the magazine she covered 17 years ago.
She then shared a mirror selfie of herself posing in the same swimsuit and also sporting a pair of black pumps.
She left her shiny, silver bob down in an effortlessly tousled style and opted out of any makeup to showcase her age-defying, natural beauty.
She completed her sexy photo with a proud grin as she once again showcased her fit figure.
Last Saturday, she shared an update on her weight loss journey, which she said she accomplished ‘without relying on a pharmaceutical’.
She shared before and after progress photos of herself in a black sports bra and skintight leggings.
She explained that she lost weight during perimenopause, which is the transition period before menopause and can slow down metabolism.
‘Hi friends,’ she began her post from last week. ‘I’ve been wanting to share with you what I’ve been up to these last 4 months.

‘My husband Ross joined me in this effort,’ she said about her partner Ross Burningham, whom she married in January 2022. Together, she said they each have lost over 30lbs
She said she committed to getting healthier and lost 30lbs in four months by putting in the hard work and not relying on ‘a pharmaceutical’; seen in June 2019

‘My husband Ross joined me in this effort,’ she said about her partner Ross Burningham, whom she married in January 2022.
‘Together we have each lost 30+ lbs. I really want to share, because we did this without relying on a pharmaceutical. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.),’ she shared.
‘But neither of us were pre diabetic and both of us felt like we wanted to at least try and do it on our own,’ the star — whose highest weight was 260 pounds — went on,’ she added.
‘Being 55 and in perimenopause, I was a bit worried, that my body would not drop the lbs like it had in the past,’ Lake continued.
‘I am so so proud of us. I feel amazing. I feel strong. 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.’
The actress added a graph from her phone showing her weight loss progress, which revealed she had lost 20 pounds since November.
