Goodness me...what a difference.
There is clearly a big physical difference here. As someone who lost 5 stone across 12 months at 21, and now at 26 put 4 back on, the pressure and misery when looking back at old skinny photos and what is does to your mental health is really quite something. That photo on the left was 5+ years ago, our bodies and lifestyle changes, and pining after an old skinnier version of yourself certainly won’t make you any happier which I think Lori has realised. You can be confident, dress for your size and look great at any size. And I think that’s the main thing here, is that we know Lori has always had great style, home and fashion, her hair and makeup always looked good. This picture she’s posted this morning is the complete opposite, she looks washed out, scruffy and miserable! And I know most of us probably resemble the right picture 80% of the time (especially right now) and there’s a lot of pressure to always look good for socials, but to go months and not post and make that your first in a while... makes you wonder if she’s happy because she doesn’t look it.Goodness me...what a difference.

That is not the same person?!?!Goodness me...what a difference.
I agree! One thing that could be said for her was that she was stylish, now she looks like an unhealthy slob. I mean we are all having days like that right now, but we’re not posting it on the gram to show off a whipped coffeeI'm sorry but she looks awful. She isn't a healthy weight and 100% looks uncomfortable. She hasn't even brushed her hair an it looks like she hasn't washed her face either! The clothes look terrible, it's such a shame shes let herself go so much. Not necessarily in regards to weight either, you can still gain a few pounds and make an effort!
Completely agree with you both. I have no problem in her gaining weight and if she’s happy then she’s happy but I remember she did a story after they got engaged saying she wanted to get down to a comfortable size 14 bride ( which would definitely fit her frame) yet she seems to have lost her motivation and she really doesn’t make the effort Anymore. I hope she does try for her wedding as when she was 14/16 she looked great! I think when she first got slim it wasn’t suited for her body and unattainable yet she would look great as a 14/16I agree!

But she still claims to be a 16.Completely agree with you both.

On the flip side, people say that they miss the old days of Instagram when you could post whatever you wanted without having to prep. From other thread I'm watching....I'm sorry but she looks awful.

Shes let herself go... simple!On the flip side, people say that they miss the old days of Instagram when you could post whatever you wanted without having to prep. From other thread I'm watching....
*Slimming world gem annoys people with her "cute" flatlays
*Fopp annoys people by dressing up and putting on makeup to stay home
All vaild opinions may I add.
I feel like Lori is just being realistic. Working from home, joggers, slippers, coffee in hand... ready to roll. (I think her hair is just unplaited bed hair rather than not being brushed)
((sidenote: I'll admit I didn't even register her weight. That's down to her own feelings and opinion))
Same you certainly aren’t alone!I feel like I’m in the same boat - same age, probably put on the same amount of weight in short space of time, dying to get it off but just can’t get my head in the game. I can’t speak for Lori, but I know personally it’s made me feel crap.
Would totally have someone be like this than all fake and showy. We knew she had put on the weight so that’s not a shock. I think it’s just a shock to see someone not made up for the gram; which is a sad sign of what Instagram has becomeOn the flip side, people say that they miss the old days of Instagram when you could post whatever you wanted without having to prep.
