"The incredibly shrinking Ricki Lake!\r\nAlthough the actress and former talk show host, 42, famously won her battle of the bulge four years ago (dropping over 100 lbs!) Lake can&amp;apos;t help but drop more poundage as she rehearses for Dancing with the the Stars with pro partner Derek Hough.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Every time I show up for work, I&amp;apos;m like &amp;apos;I got smaller,&amp;apos; but I have haven&amp;apos;t weighed myself&amp;quot; Lake told Us Weekly at Variety&amp;apos;s 3rd Annual Power of Women lunch in L.A. Friday.\r\nLake says she&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;kicking&amp;quot; herself for not keeping tabs on her weight. &amp;quot;But...it&amp;apos;s more about losing inches anyway. I&amp;apos;m losing a lot of weight&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe hard evidence? &amp;quot;Oh my God, I put on my jeans--my size six jeans,&amp;quot; Lake boasted, &amp;quot;They were too tight to put on a month ago, and they&amp;apos;re now falling off. So, that doesn&amp;apos;t lie!&amp;quot;\r\nLast month, Lake said she wanted to drop the 15 pounds she&amp;apos;s gained over the past year -- &amp;quot;I fell in love!&amp;quot; she explained.\r\n\r\nThe lucky guy beau Christian Evans, who proposed over the summer during a vacation in Spain.\r\nLake wouldn&amp;apos;t reveal her wedding date, but teased that the wedding day will be &amp;quot;in the spring. I&amp;apos;m so excited! We picked a location, we hired a photographer.&amp;quot;\r\nIt will be the second marriage for Lake, who divorced Rob Sussman in 2003 after nine years together; the exes share sons Milo, 14, and Owen, 9.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I [didn&amp;apos;t have] a wedding when I was married the first time,&amp;quot; Lake explained.  &amp;quot;I got married in Vegas, but this time it feels like this time is the one forever and ever -- and I want it to be very special.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
