My problem area: hips. They never slim down. Walking AND swimming are making a difference. Doing both for about 30 mins. Got a problem area? #weight #wellness
My problem area is my mouth....I can't keep it closed around goodies!
Born with the hips and thighs. Even when I was at my thinnest those babies were “abnormal”. Good news is having thick thighs prevent hip fractures. I’ve always had the pear shape but I’m told that’s better to avoid heart risks.
I've hit a certain age where certain sections of myself won't change shape no matter how hard I work on it...I've come to terms with it.
Squats and lunges especially with weights will help sculpt your muscles and hopefully give you the hips you want! You look fab!
You look GREAT Dr Lori❤️when Ever I gain weight it is always in my upper belly.. and i don't like it ...🤪
Apron belly for me
i have lost 30 pounds this year and sadly i have a bit of a belly apron 😔 my last baby in 1996 was 9 pounds which is a lot of baby for a short 5’ 1” person. no stretch marcus but just an apron😑
surgery.. yes a good plastic surgeon.. just do it
Keep it with your diet. Those hips have to give it up sometime.
I know walking and hiking work, I lost 65 lbs and looked much leaner after walking morning and evening every day for 4 months. Had my dog with me! We both looked great after last summer. Gained 25 back over the winter, working at it now to get it back off.
Keep it up, great job! 👏How are you feeling?
You look amazing!!! Love from me Braxton and Georgia 🙌💜🙌
Nice work!
How's the foot or ankle doing?
Beautiful
We’ll proportioned, Dr Lori👍🏼
Inspiring
Looking better and better, now just have to smile! 🙂
Looking fantastic! God Bless you - as my doctor said to me, the weight didn't happen overnight, nor will it disappear overnight. Keep up whatever you're doing ... Stay strong!!!!
Looking great!! 👍 😍
You look great. Keep going. You can do it.
You look amazing
Love watching you on your journey! You are an inspiration to us all ❤️
Keep up the good work 😊❤️
Same! Walking every day is a game changer
A lamp, a folding card table with my family story and a print. Can you value them this week on Pittsburgh Today Live? Who wins this week? Heather Abraham or David Highfield?
That card table brought back sweet memories. My dad started “junkin’” after he retired and b4 it was popular. He would set up at flea markets with 5 of those pictured card tables. His were worn out, but he never upgraded. He did the flea markets for 20+ years, way into his 70’s and always with those tables.
Can David Highfield on KDKA-TV | CBS Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Today Live retire after I value his #vintagestyle Swatch watch? Watch now and find out about the location of the watch. #swatchwatch
He is too much fun to retire!
Good news: swam more laps than yesterday. Bad news: ouch, hurt my leg. Very good news: love my new swim bag.
Arnica gel can help with a bruise.
Ouch !!!Quit getting hurt or you’ll have to start wrapping yourself in bubble wrap !!! 🥰
What did you do, girl?! Swimming and water jogging is real good exercise! Get an around the waist floatation belt. Get into the deep, where you can’t touch. Jog away! I lost so many inches that way.
Croc’s bag? Saw a few at TJ Maxx last week for $79.99 ….approximately. Maybe a knock off? One in the store was an EAGLES bag. Love it.
Hope the knee feels better soon. Good 👍 swimming is amazing 🤩 I started swimming two to three times a week for two hours this past February and am enjoying catching the waves. Have a great 👍 night!!
Ouch that must have hurt
Holy ouch put some witch hazel or rubbing alcohol on that right away
Glad you loved your swim bag Feel bad you got hurt ❤️
I so miss swimming and water aerobics. It really helped me get stronger and stable after foot surgery and therapy. The hot tub is relaxing after a workout. I took a fall after getting out of the pool. It's been a slow recovery. I'm looking forward to losing weight, putting on a bathing suit and enjoying life again. Thank you for your inspiration. Micah 7:8.The passage says:"Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light."
Ouch! Our pool finally opens this weekend!
Ouch
Wow Dr Lori you have lost a ton of weight !! You go girl you are looking amazing !!!
Heal soon, and your hat is the right one!!! ❤️⚾️❤️
Ouch!
Take care.
You go girl 👌💪
I am glad you are able to swim more each day. So sorry you hurt your leg. Are you okay? Take care of yourself. Nice swim bag. 🏊♂️ 😀🙏
Ouch!
Ouch
That hurts!

Match, match! This gold chain link on a circa 1825 mourning pin and same design on a 2025 David Yurman bracelet. #jewelry #designer
It's getting to be just like the movies No one has an original thought anymore. Just a lot of reruns. Maybe he thought no one would notice. 🤔😉🤷
My son's ex-girlfriend only wanted David Yurman's jewelry! I don't have to tell you how expensive that was. And I was not impressed at all to be truthful. 🙁 Just a name! Not worth the price.

These new and vintage #swatch watches are worth more money today! Swatch market went crazy after the introduction of the #royal pop pocket watch. Fans flooding the stores. #money
I was a model years ago and was Dr Swatch. Went to Switzerland for a show once. Those were the days.
I have two commemorative Swatch from Chrysler, with all the packaging and pamphlets. Paid about $5, wonder if I should list them NOW 😂
David Highfield found his Swatch!!!
What are you seeing on prices for vintage ones 😊
I’m thinking you have worn a couple of the watches pictured. I like the Daisies 😊
They look like my kind of watch I love quirky. ❤️
I still have my swatch watch!
I have Coke swatch from the 80’s!
I bought a new one about 3 yrs ago now, white w/a glow face. Love it 😀

Watch a new video on YouTube from my "Stuck in Seattle" trip to the world's largest Goodwill store. #shopping @evergrngoodwill Evergreen Goodwill #vintagefinds
Check out the video at youtu.be/yGA0ncKVOOg now.
Videos are the best...always
Great video. You did well with pronouncing Hutschenreuther (hootshenroyter). My first language is German. 😉
Love your videos
I wanna say that was the Goodwill where the worker asked us if we were from there and we said no...and she was like...it's about to be dark and you want to get home....soon. We skedaddled on out of there. But first we made the wrong turn when leaving...you want to go left, not right. 😅 Right takes you straight into a worse area than the GW. Was a fun trip.
Our good will around here never have anything nice to look at.🤷🏻♀️
follow u. Dr. i like urs more videos.
Farmers market had some beauties. Can you guess my favorite flower?
Begonia
All of the above? Love all the color--the more the better imho.

Calla Lily’s popped into my mind for some reason.
Such vibrant colors! Beautiful!
Beautiful geraniums!
I’m guessing geraniums.
Geraniums?
Gerber daisies are my favorite 🌼

Lillies or pansies maybe. My mom liked fuchsia, sweet peas, lady slippers and geranium. I like fuscias the best, and then begonias
Geraniums?
They are all pretty:)
The dahlias?
I’m going to guess geranium! They are all beautiful.
Zinnias
Oh, just saw the answer! I love lilacs quite a bit myself.
