In the video post, Lori says:
“‘Everyone’s asking what it is I specifically did to get my body to this point.”
She added:
“When Mike and I got together I gained like 15 pounds of relationship weight and it was horrible. None of my clothes fit, it was not OK.”
“I’ve been consistently using Pilates for the last year – I’ve done it for a few years but I’ve been really consistent for the last year.”
“When I was trying to drop weight, I was working out like five, six times a week and for the first month and a half I would even do it two [times] a day.”
“I was in a calorie deficit – I think I was maybe consuming like 1,200 calories a day max.”
“I wasn’t on a specific eating regimen I was just trying to do meat and veggies and minimal carbs.”
