    Shopping Scores at Largest Goodwill with Dr. Lori #shopping #thrift ... See MoreSee Less

    Does not matter what it’s worth problem is getting that amount

    Dr. Lori, hi. Would you call that "Two-tiered serving dish" a 'petit four' server?

    I hate those stickers of the price they are the death of me Dr. Lori

    I need that clear plate for my set.

    Where is this one?

    Why do you wear gloves?

    Why do you wear gloves?

    Prices at our local Goodwill are too high, and the CEO is making millions off of donated items. I shop at true thrift stores.

    I’ve been there! You are in my neck of the woods sort of! I live down south from there.

    Prices on the 2 Cranberry Goodwill’s are ridiculous. M going to the Rochester one this week

    New England trip…comfort food, family fun, and a Massachusetts landmark. Publick House Historic Inn ... See MoreSee Less

    Comment on Facebook

    exploring New England has always been on my bucket list.. I think I lived there in a past life!!!!!!

    I was there a couple weeks ago fabulous.

    The Public House reminds me of The White Gull Inn in Door County Wisconsin, another magical place. Fond memories ..

    Do you drive in Boston ? I haven’t been to Boston in many years. I remember the exits being easy to miss. Many years ago, I loved the New England Aquarium. I love the historic houses.The taverns look quaint.

    I was there years ago and loved it!

    You are in a good place. My late husband and I stayed and dined at the Publick House many,many times.❤

    Memories of school field trips. I grew up in East Haven.

    We visit here when in Brimfield. Love it!

    Looks like a nice place to stay all my relatives are from Boston area Plymouth I’m related to Myles Standish

    We love it there! Stayed there two years ago. The chowder is amazing!

    Red Pepper Relish, love that stuff..

    Nice!

    Relish sounds delicious

    One of my very favorites! Glad you got to go there recently!

    You are probably an excellent cook:) You have a nice weekend as well. Your dad probably met many interesting ,intelligent people during his tenure at Yale.

    #ad Need some Halloween help from everybody. To sort or not to sort? I’m on DREW show on Nov. 2. The Drew Barrymore Show ... See MoreSee Less

    Comment on Facebook

    These comments are very helpful. Thanks. I had no idea what the protocol was on this sorting of candy for allergies. I'm not as worried about it all now.

    Parents should do their due diligence. You can ask but the responsibility is on the parent.

    I used to use a pillow case also and one year it ripped and I lost a bunch of candy. Lol

    I had with peanuts and without peanuts. So I asked before handing the candy out. 1 boy said that he was allergic to I started giving him the without. Well, he started reaching for the nuts!! No you get the without! His reach got stopped!! Hahah😂😂😂

    Dr. Lori, it was 70+ degrees the past couple days in Boston. I hope you enjoyed the New England weather!~

    We had brown paper bag we would decorate it like it was a Christmas tree.

    Hi Dr. Lori! We did the pillowcase too! It worked much better to hold more candy! 🎃

    A peanut allergy is so serious that I think a parent would want to be totally responsible for their child’s candy, whether they help them with trick or treating or they carry their bag and go through all candy first. You can buy non peanut candy if you’d like though. A lot of candy is processed in plants that also process peanuts anyway.

    I don’t get any Halloween’s!! I live at the end of a 500 foot gravel driveway. At the end of the driveway is my 100 year old farmhouse which looks haunted! I do miss all those little kids in costumes 🥴 But I don’t have to worry about peanut allergies!

    I got peanut M&Ms to give out. I never thought about it. The parents should check their bags.

    I give out full-size candy bars and Rice Krispy treats for kids who don't want candy. I let them pick. I was always aware that there might be peanut allergies, but I figured they're picking and their parents should look through everything. The trees in the background as you were driving were gorgeous! We don't have such vivid colors here! You're so lucky! ❤️

    I live in a rural area outside of Conroe, Texas, called......ready......Cut N Shoot. No lie. It's grown since I moved her 32 years ago, but we never, and I mean never, have ever had trick or treaters. They have Church Carnivals called "Autumn Festival" and they do a trunk or treat at the school, where cars line up and the people hand candy from there trunks. Creepy huh? Anywaaaay, love you Dr. Lori. ❤️

    The candy is wrapped not home made so it's the parents responsibility

    We always had pillow cases also. I loved Halloween and passed that love onto my kids when they were little. Now my son does a huge Halloween show called the Rise of the Jack o lantern on Long Island. Check it out it’s amazing. Let kids pick they know what they want lol. Happy Halloween 👻 everyone!!!!

    Parents responsibility. They know what their kids are getting and know to go through all of it. Plus for any bad things these days that we didn't have to worry about years ago and you probably know what I mean.

    Let the parents take care of it.

    Dr. Lori, one little girl came and asked me if anything had peanuts in it? I said I can't be sure have Mom or Dad check. She said ok. This year I bought some non chocolate candy too.

    Good question, never thought about that

    Family doz it

    You should give out Big bars thay love that Naber

    No, let them. They are probably familiar with the process. If you have separate peanut free candy, put a teal pumpkin on your porch. That will tell folks you are allergy aware.

    No you do not. The parent's can go through the candy when they get home.

    I give them a choice. A bag of chips etc or candy

    Most kids are very self aware of a peanut allergy. But you can always allow them to choose their candy. None of the candy is really safe for them, but they will have their process at home. It's not your job to try to figure it out.

    POV: Discouraging news. And a surprise ending—Everybody needs to know. #weight ... See MoreSee Less

    Comment on Facebook

    Dance. Exercise, Keep Moving, I'm 81. I have weighed as much as 210. In 2025 I began losing weight from 160 to 130-135. I am maintaining the loss & I am healthy. I love to dance & music is an indorphine that wards off osteoarthritis pain. I still love my sweets; but age has let me eat less.

    I truly understand. I get tired of hearing you have reached a plato! Give it a few more weeks to let your body get use to the new you. But Dr Lori you look fantastic! I have noticed all along while watching you on PTL. We love you in Pittsburgh.

    Tell doc you’re maintaining. You’re looking great & energetic. We can hear it in your voice. Now…I suggest having a Jethro sized bowl of Breyers Vanilla Bean ice cream. Boosts the metabolism. 😁. Reboot

    Well dang that's kinda good news! More fruit and veggies? Besides, building muscle balances out the weight loss so it's all good in my book. You look great and feel great so it's a win!

    Are you losing inches? The tape measure is a better friend than the scale.

    More importantly, how’s your BP, cholesterol, A1C, bone density, etc? Those are the important numbers. Keep at it, consistency is key!

    Maintaining weight loss - since April! - is a very big deal Dr Lori! Sure, change it up, but you are clearly still doing things right to have kept the weight off for several months.

    Weight is only a number. It’s how you feel that matters. After a bad fall 13 months ago that resulted in a broken ankle, broken wrist, broken proximal humerus bone and shattered shoulder, I made my final visit to the ortho dude who removed all of my hardware 3 weeks ago. For me, it’s all about recovery and getting back to life as normal before last October. Wish me luck!

    Plateaus are frustrating & they can be worth it to give the skin time to catch up. I've regained most of the weight I'd once lost, but did notice that in Plateau stages my skin adjusted a lot & then I might lose a bunch quickly again as it stopped holding some of the internal gunk & my liver wasn't working as hard.

    My cardiologist put me on Wegovy. It helps with inflammation and studies show it can prevent strokes and heart attacks. It really changed my life. I’m losing weight slowly. I stay on the lowest dose until I don’t lose weight and then I go up to the next dose. So far I have lost 24 pounds.

    It is quite obvious you have lost considerable weight so maybe the scale isn't going lower because while losing weight you are firming up your muscles and your weight stays level.

    Your body gets used to things , and gets comfortable ( not losing weight), so you need to switch things up to wake your metabolism up.

    Hormones, thyroid, gut microbiome, weight lifting are all In the mix also. 💪

    Dr Lori I would look into intermittent fasting.. I've lost 14Lbs in two weeks doing it.

    Dr. Lori, please don't get discouraged. You look great! Sometimes plateaus happen but you also need to eat enough to continue to lean up. I know it sounds crazy, but trust it.

    If you’re not getting “enough” variety of calories your body goes into “starvation mode” it holds onto what you have and your weight loss will plateau. (Believe me Ive dealt with weight issues since I was in high school). Keep plugging away Dr. Lori- you’ve got this! You’re lookin great

    Try swimming for excercise it easy on your body and also take magnesium and hour before bed to help you sleep. Don't worry be happy. Music helps.

    They gave me a higher dose of mounjaro and I began to lose weight again. I also had to eat more which did work.Drank more water only coffee at breakfast with high protein foods. Best of luck . You look wonderful you could be losing inches.

    I have been losing weight for a few months. I'm ozempic. It's because I have type two diabetes. But yeah balance is the key.

    Me too. I have noticed the Zepbound seems to lose weight then inches and alternates. My Dr said there another med like Zepbound but works on THREE receptors.

    Do you lift weights at all, it will push weight loss into overdrive.

    I just believe in see food diets:)

    Dr. Lori, a full 8-hours sleep is key for both mental and physical health survival.

    I have been overweight my whole life. I have recently lost a significate amount of weight. What is working for me is to stagger calories. for example I will do 2 days of 1200 then a day at 1500 then a day with 1000 calories. Just changing up the calorie amounts each day helped stop the plateau for me. Hang in there you got this.

    I lost over 100 pounds in nine months and I’m telling you how I did it. Eat no carbs. No bread, no crackers no pasta no rice no potatoes no tortillas just eat protein and vegetables. The weight will fall off you.

    How to Spot Quality China - Thrift Shopping with Dr. Lori #thrift #shopping ... See MoreSee Less

    Comment on Facebook

    Thank you Dr. Lori.

    Thank you.

    Omg i want to meet u so bad

    Thank you for that tip!

    Thank you. I just learned something

    thank you!!!!!

    That was a great tip, Dr. Lori!

    Dr. Lori, Hello. I know this is the third time I have probably remarked on this to you - asking you to please give commentary. 'Why' are *less-than-mediocre* mid-century landscapes, in period frames, signed by 'Sunday painters' -and that's being generous, suddenly commanding (with "NO Returns"), absolutely ridiculous prices online?! I'm talking anywhere from $300-$10,000? These secondhand pickers suddenly think they are running online fine art galleries. Please advise. Thanks.

    These pale pink Tuscan teacups are fine bone china and the ceramic is pink, through and through. They're not glazed pink, they're glazed clear.

    Oh ghawd....why did I click? I don't need to see more of this woman posing like she knows everything about everything. I'm sure she has her areas of expertise, but from YT videos I've seen, she's pretty weak when it comes to glassware.

    This lady needs to take a couple more classes. She still doesn’t know quality from crap.
