Sherri Shepherd, the gal on The View who once stripped down to a swimsuit in front of Barbara Walters, gave Rachael Ray viewers a surprise yesterday when she confessed she thought her workouts would result in orgasms.

The View star and comedian gave the crowd a good laugh when she admitted the mistake but in real life Sherri is quite familiar with the pain of workouts and the hard effort surrounding weight loss.

As one of the Emmy-award winning co-hosts on The View, Shepherd lost a whopping 10 inches and 41 pounds after gaining the weight through life and through the pregnancy of her first son with fellow comedian Jeff Tarpley.

Since losing the weight, Sherri was excited to share her favorite recipes with the Rachael Ray viewers and her fave thing about losing weight.

"You know why I'm so excited about this whole weight loss thing?" she asked Rachael. "I got a booty! It's like this little bubble; I've never had one before!"

But she didn't get the booty without some trips along the way. Sherri was also happy to debunk the workout myth that one can obtain an orgasm from working out. She said on the show that after getting workout advice from Elisabeth Hasselbeck and testing it out, Sherri realized she'd heard wrong.

"I went to the gym," Sherri began to say, quoting her words to Hasselbeck, "I thought you said when you went to the gym you have these orgasms."

"And she said 'No, I said endorphins' and I kept working out thinking I was doing it wrong."

When, in fact, she was doing it very right.

The talk show co-host will be the star of Lifetime's upcoming sitcom, Precious, in which the leading lady will debut an on-screen figure that is 41-pounds lighter, 10 dress sizes smaller and 10 inches slimmer all around.

The 5-foot-1, 42-year-old mom says of her weight loss, "This is my marathon".
