Beautiful ! Love it! You look great Dr. Lori !
That’s beautiful on you ❤️🎉😎
Watching you now and You look beautiful and your personality shines too!!
Love it!
Yes, too sharp to not wear every available time!
Nice color! See you soon!
Very nice on you, Dr. Lori the color suits you.❤️
You look great on that color! Very pretty!
You look great in that top
Love it!
Good morning you look absolutely gorgeous it's perfect
Buy it.
You look great, pretty blue too.
Looking great💙💙
Very nice!
Perfect!
Looks good on you.
Great color! 🩵
Love it!!! I’ll take it!!!! 👍
Oh yeah!
Looks good 👍
Oh yeah, classy! It's you!
Love, love love the color! Curious can the sweater be worn open with a shell or sleeveless top? It would be another way to wear the sweater, you could see your gorgeous chain and hopefully it would look great!! (Sweaters are a funny fit. Sometimes they work open and sometimes they don't. Most important it depends on your comfort with the sweater open.)
Very pretty

I doubt I can do it. #compression #shopping #wellness ... See MoreSee Less
I made it for four hours wearing them and then gave in… I’m going to keep trying
Go girl
For lymphatic get a roller to roll over your body several times a day
You can start with the socks
You absolutely are wonderful!
Why do you need them Dr. Dr. Lori ?
What you NEED, Dr. Lori...is one of those compression massagers! You put them on, plug them in and a thousand little fingers massage your legs!
Keep an eye on your legs. Make sure they aren’t cutting your circulation off. They are supposed to prevent blood clots. I wish you good luck , getting them on and off:)
My husband does about 10 min. on one of those little rebounders (trampolines) for "lymphatic drainage."
You crack me up!
0 you can do it
I had to wear the socks for about 6 weeks how you got those on is a mystery to me.....wow!
I wear 20-30 compression stocking and leg b wraps. Nothing at nogjt but legs elevated on a pillow or 2. Helps alo Lotion legs too keeps them from drying out
Agree that they need to be put on first thing in AM. Gather them up in your hands like you do for nylon stockings, then slide and stretch them smoothly up your leg. Those creases are not good! Who said to wear them? What brand did they recommend? I might start with yoga pants.
My mom wears Bombas compression knee high socks. Her heart doctor recommended them because she couldn’t have the tight compression. She ordered the Men’s Everyday Compression 15-20mmHg. She can tolerate them. She has a history of blood clots so she can’t have anything tight. They work for her.
I hope they work for you. 😀❤️
LOVE your tee shirt! 🖤💛
Oh, Dr. Lori! They look incredibly uncomfortable. I don’t think I could do it!
Stick with it. You can do it.
Oh wow! I guess like most things, it's a process. Stay positive.
You need to pull them up so there isn’t wrinkles cutting in. They will feel Better and they really are a good thing
I always wear compression knee high socks. Never the entire pants. I don't think I could do that. And honestly, I'd be a little leery of those you have. They look like they could be cutting off circulation in your upper legs which would do more harm than good.
Get knee highs.
I admire your honesty! You are an inspiration to many.
I could not. Made me feel like I was suffocating or like my guts would come up out of my throat. Compression leggings! I can get by with knee highs but only mild compression, otherwise, they cut off my circulation around my knees. No compression at all around my abdomen - this is torture for me with GERD and a hiatal hernia. I am not a medical professional but if I gave advice based on my experience with trying them, I would recommend starting with the mildest compression and find what works, is comfortable, and what you can live with. It's even more challenging in the summer. One other thing, keep an eye on your blood pressure with and without compression garments on. You won't want to compress so much that you're walking around with a sky high blood pressure as a trade off. And definitely take them off if they make you feel faint.

Still working on the wardrobe. Wait for it. #fashion #shopping ... See MoreSee Less
You look marvelous
Darker colors ♥️
Good taste! Love the navy one
A good stylist will save you time and make you feel like a milluon bucks. With your eye for detail, once you see how they use certain pieces, colors, styles etc to build some stunning looks....you will run away with it on your own. You are Dr. Lori ...treat yourself.
I personally do not like horizontal stripes on anyone. Modlily has great tops that fall below the waist. All very pretty and colorful. Take a look. Often have great sales too!! 😁
You can always wear the shirts unbuttoned like a lightweight jacket. Wear a tshirt or tank under.
Put a tank under it & Knot it at the bottom. I have that problem too.
It’s the fit, but also the color. You were born to wear navy blue!
Too see through too. Buttons never seem to be in the right place for "the girls" for me.
You are killing. I’m proud of you. 👏
Dr Lori, You have taught us the value of asking an expert. My suggestion is to ask an expert stylist. In the long run you will save time and money.
You’re going great!!!
You are spot on..no no no except last one
Great job, keep up the health plan.
Your face is thinner You look good Dr Lori
OMG! That blouse shrunk!
looks good-jewelry adds a flair
This is why I hated to travel years ago. Too many decisions! LOL
Yes to the yes!!! Good choice...looks classy!
You are looking good! Keep up the hard work!
I hate going thru my wardrobe…
Dr. Lori please start walking away from bulky sweaters and try light weight tops. Tops that fall below your waist. Time to start showing off your weight loss. V neck tops are very flattering as well. Wear less round neck lines.
No stripes. Tailored clothing looking smart. 😊
I am with you, i hate shopping for clothes. Keep going, you are getting there.
You know style! If you feel your confidence glow-go forth!

Sweaters for a seaside trip to Scandinavia. I love fish but I picked the anchor instead. #shopping #fish #travel ... See MoreSee Less
Have whale to eat if you can! My son had it and said it was good. It’s only legal to have it in 3 countries!
Viking or actual vacation
Anchor yes. Dead fish no.
Must have been the "red" eye attraction
Anchors away. Yes
Yep the anchor! The fish would work if it had the white trim at the neckline...
No tight knit sweaters.
You look so fabulous!!! Love both sweaters!!!!
I agree with the Anchor. Wear it in good health💜
Anchor is much better. Enjoy!
Love those sweaters!
That’s cute. I love Nautical sweaters.❤️I have a fixation with fish too. I don’t fish and I don’t even own any:) I just like to look at them. Have fun! I and a million others , enjoy your post.
Yo ho ho have a good trip matey ❣️
I love the sweaters
Love it
Much better than the stripes.
I like them both, but anchor more.
Great choice!
Oh my you look so stunning. love it!!!!
Your clothes are so cute. Maybe you will meet a handsome stranger who sweeps you off your feet and dances well!
Good choice!!! Safe travels, Dr. Lori!!
I like the anchor ⚓
You lost more weight! Looking good! I love Scandanavian designs. If I ever can afford a cruise it would be on a ship when you are.🚤🚤🚤
Anchor ❤️❤️❤️⚓️❤️❤️❤️ looks smart 🥰
wow look at you! bet you feel great!!!!

Wearing this on a lazy day. #fashion #home #compression ... See MoreSee Less
Great taste!
Great choices! And good idea to try on the compression pants before you need them. 😉
It all looks so comfortable! You have great taste! ❤️
Thank you for being a REAL woman. Being comfortable in yourself is admirable!
Love that pink! 💕
Love the color of that top. Pink will be beautiful on you!
I love the GAP shirt. It is exactly what I was talking about in an earlier post. They are comfortable on their own or a little bigger to wear as a little jacket over a tee. If the day becomes hot, remove the tee and just wear this breathable top on its own. Love the pink. 😎
This is pretty!
Nice color for you I’d think. Enjoy!

Everything I tried on was horizontal stripes! #shopping #fashion ... See MoreSee Less
Appreciate all the comments so much. I need all the suggestions
You should be wearing vertical stripes to elongate. Show off your new figure.
They look cute on you ….what I have learned with horizontal stripes is to get a size up, so it hangs a little looser !
Vertical would be the more slimming option. Horizontal tends to make us look larger than we actually are.
Forget the nahh sayers horizontal stripes are for everyone not just one weighing 100 pounds - they look great wear what you love!!!!Don't pick it based on old fashion norms- wear what you love the color the material buy it! Be you!!!!! As long as it isn't having your flesh hanging out your good
D shirt is fabulous!...it also looks great larger with a turtle neck leggings and hiking boots( my fall outfit every fall in every different print and color... sometimes with a scarf) always my go to for a swimsuit top too...I am modest to a fault(I get a size smaller and crop it a little) ❤️👍
A for summer, D for winter,
No to horizontal or vertical striped... yes to bright solid colors and large abstract prints with solid jacket and let some of that vintage jewelry brighten the outfit... BTW... keep clothes simple and let your eyes and smile distract from the clothes not only are you an extremely educated worldly woman... you could wear a potato sack and be georgus...
🌹 Your face says it all, Lori! 😉 Looks like "A" is the one you'd wear with the highest comfort level. That being said, there ARE outfits I've seen you wear that are considerably more flattering, so I know you have them. And you look great in red! Personally, I'd run like hell from all of 'em. 🌹💖🌹
I love Pick B. The cream and light blue are becoming. The sleeve length is perfect. It hangs comfortably loose without looking like a sack. The neckline is flattering. I'd buy it.
Have you ever considered hiring a wardrobe consultant? You have worked so hard on loosing weight that you should splurge on some new outfits that flatter the new you. Horizontal stripes are a no no on us plus size ladies.
Im not a rule follower on stripes, if I like it I wear it. Personally I would look for a neck style of whatever you choose its much more flattering.
I think the key to horizontal stripes is a 3rd piece - a cardigan or blazer over it, and worn open. That way you get the vertical line back from the opening of the 3rd piece.
3/4 sleeve looks best!
A looks the best. I like a top without a tight bottom hem. An a line or even straight with little slits on the side.
No horizontal stripes.
I like the black stripe, the blue stripe then the gray. I don’t like the black / white with red. It looks like a ringer tee that should be worn at a baseball game? Are you going to upstate NY?
1 with red pants maybe
A&D but size up
I pick B
B hands down
No drop shoulders, they add weight.
D, no question.
Love A …the material looks and feels cozy too. It’s all how you feel in each top. ME. I seem to tuck it up at the bottom. I feel more comfortable that way.
The one with the red trim made you look so tiny. ❤️

Stuff I’m not taking on my trip. #travel That blue dress is a no! What do you like? ... See MoreSee Less
Do you tend to overpack?
You always look nice whenever you're traveling! Just take more shirts than bottoms with extra accessories! But I do agree, one never knows how they will feel that day! Safe travels!
Where are you headed?
I just foind out I'm going to HAWAII next month 🤪 I have no clue what to bring!!
Some people can lay an outfit out for the next day or week and wear it. I need extra outfits incase it don’t look or feel right on. If you wake up bloated nothing feels right. So you should pack all you want. One of each color, but they do limit the weight of suitcases these days 🤷♀️
Do you do packing cubes? I find I can pick A LOT of options in very little space. You seem like an "options" kind of gal to me....Amiright??
Where are you going that you’ll need a sweatshirt? 😳

#travel #shopping #clothes Packing is the worst! Help! ... See MoreSee Less
Best is a couple skirts and different blouses to go with the two skirts. Added accessories to make them special.
I wish I knew. But hey, you are in the public eye and need to maintain your presence.
I like choices! You never know what you might want to wear!
I love your color scheme idea. I am going to try that on my next trip.
You've traveled all over the world! I use two compression bags (a medium one for the clothes and a smaller one for the rest.) I always bring a scarf on the airplane because it sometimes gets cold. and band-aids
Marie Kondo packs a nice suitcase 😉 I watch a video or two of hers before packing a bag.
There’s a pack of those vacuum bags for clothes on Amazon w That now come with a travel size vacuum to re-seal for the trip home. Not expensive.
Dr. Lori look up the "sudoku method of packing." You're welcome!
I love the lemons! 🍋 Gives a pop of color & the crisp blue & while is just classic! Also, so smart to stick with a theme. Safe travels.
Packing cubes are the best!
😳oh you gotta have a bit of bling!
Can't go wrong with several white shirts! Of course your favorite "red" is very becoming and will coordinate with blk, brn, blue, wheat ! Mix n match 'em
Red and royal blue looks great on you
Put together outfits and only take 1 extra blouse for just in case. Enough underwear for as many days as you’ll be away plus one for just in case. Limit yourself to the shoes you wear on the plane and one other pair. Travel size bottles of shampoo, etc in a gallon zip bag. I’ve learned to pack minimally over the years.
I love that slate blue crocheted sweater!

My mom and Italian aunts taught me to crochet as a girl. Another of my handmade baby blankets made it to its final destination—the stroller atop this little precious one—in Texas. This makes me so happy! #baby #craft #crochet #gift #texas ... See MoreSee Less
My mother was a crocheting savant. It wasn't till I was older that I realized all the quilts hats scarfs and barbie doll clothes kept our house afloat. I still have 2 quilts from 1980.
My loving and wonderful Polish grandmother starting teaching me at 5 years old. All new babies get a homemade afghan. 🩷💙
I have many blankets and dollies my sister and my mother crocheted unfortunately the talent wasn’t passed on to me. I cherish them all because they are both gone.
Beautiful blanket on a beautiful baby.
Love the afghan🥰🧶🧶🧶
What stitch is this pattern? Its Beautiful 😊
Beautiful and thoughtful gift
Absolutely gorgeous. A family heirloom one day no doubt.
A beautiful gift of love.💝
Very pretty Dr. Lori I love those colors ❤️
Pretty doesn't even begin to describe it!
We have a bunch of crochet/knit groups in South Jersey, if you’re ever in the area
It's beautiful!
Very nice
My neighbor made me one like that when my son was born.
Luv the colors.
That is a beautiful blanket! ❤️
Handmade is so special, every stitch is made with someone special in mind!
Beautiful! Extra special when you get pictures of the gift being used and appreciated!
So sweet! Wrapped with Love! 💕
When do you have time to crochet ? Beautiful baby blanket❤️
My great grandmother taught me. I make baby blankets too
Very beautiful blanket
It’s beautiful. I love the cotton candy colors. You do great work.
So sweet!
