During her time on Season 13 of "DWTS," Ricki told Access Hollywood that she was hoping the competition and intense physical training would get her in shape for her wedding.

"I fell in love, and I got a little fluffy this year," she told Access following the Season 13 cast announcement in August. "Not a lot fluffy, but like a little fluffier than I want to be. This is definitely time for me to shed the [pounds] for my wedding next year."

By November, Ricki - who vowed to not try on dresses until the completion ended - had dropped more than 20 pounds and several dress sizes. She began the competition a size 8 and was 15 inches smaller and sported a size 4 by the end, where she came in third place.

In December Access caught up with Ricki, who said she was keeping in shape post-"DWTS" with a non-dancing workout regime.

"I am not dancing, but I am doing barre method," Ricki told Access at the time of the popular cardio barre fitness style that involves a lot of ballet-style moves and leg lifts.
