Nearly 4 month check-in
Still in onederland. Yay! Cowboy and I are going on vacation with Jen and Alex next week. Yay! Last week, I had my trainer do my measurements. He wanted to do it the right way so he had the lady bust out the caliper thingie and they went to town. My body fat % is down to 31%. I was so stoked to find this out. Amaze-balls. Picture time!
Where I started. November 2008.
The here and now.
Taken at a bridal shower for a friend of my brother’s gf. I love this dress!
Before I put on the high heels.
All glammed up in the car.
Saturday night party. Someone at the party had a fancy camera. Those pictures are super awesome.
Gym picture time.
So that’s where I’m at. I’m so ready for my vacation, and so looking forward to it.

You are like the incredible shrinking woman! You look soooooo good. Way to go, Lorie.
You look so great!
Amazing! You are beautiful! I admire your dedication to the gym. I am such a fail at that!
You look so great and so happy!! That’s the most important part!
I am in awe of the changes!!! I know you’re very open about everything, so i hope this question doesn’t offend you. I know with rapid weight loss, you can have loose skin. Do you have that? Will you do anything about it if you do? Just curious. Feel free to ignore my questions if it’s too personal
Bam! You can really tell all of a sudden!
Love! I am so excited for you. You look so happy. I love your outfits! You always have such great style.
My dad always teases me about what I wear. This weekend he even told my mom, “I’m glad Ma-an dressed Coco up nice for the party.” As if I wouldn’t.
Wow, you look great! I have to admit, in the picture from the bridal shower, I didn’t even recognize you! It took me a second to realize that was you. You are doing so awesome. You can really tell a huge difference.
Wow ! I’m going to go work out now!
@AreYouThereGodItsMeEmilyC - Thank you so much! When I look at old pictures, I see the difference and I remember what it felt like to be that size. I’m over the hump and it’s smooth sailing from now on, I hope.
@humpdaytreats - Thank you!
@sierraidol - Each time I go it gets easier. I was dancing at the gym last night.
@Lushy - Super happy. I definitely have my narcissistic moments, but luckily, I have a fantastic group around me. They keep me grounded. I do strut around the office though.
@ShamrockLover - I know I already emailed you, but that was because I couldn’t comment from my phone. To keep it real, the plan is to lose all the weight my doctor is asking, then try for a kid March/April next year. After the kid, I plan on losing the weight all over again, and if I still have excess skin, I plan on having the surgeries to remove the excess skin. The trainer told me that my skin still needs to catch up, almost as if my body fat % would be lower if I didn’t have excess skin. The places I have excess skin are near my underarms, and a little on my upper thighs. Those are the only places that are bothersome right now.
@RizzlGrizzl - Bam! Bam! Bam!
@maandsaint - Thank you for that compliment. My new hire is really into fashion and she’s even shopped for me recently. I love her eye.
@babysgirl23 - Thank you, love.
@sabrinablue - Thank you, darling. Hard work is paying off!
@keshiafowler - Yay!
THank you for the message and letting me know. You are so awesome!
Whoa! Huge difference! I think I see the most change in your face…it must be exciting to be able to see noticable changes in yourself. Good work!
