They're all real letters from customers like Bob -- and you! Oxycise! Success Stories: www.oxycise.com/Success/index.htm Happy Breathing! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *B* OXYCISE! PROGRESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ August 23, 2004 "Hi Jill: Thanks for doing the exercises every day with me. I do them on the video with you and it has turned out to be the best thing I have done for myself. "I started the Oxycise! program I think about last January 2004. I really didn't think it would work, I thought I was too old. Age was my problem. I was tired and run down and felt just plain lousy. I was about 50 pounds overweight and was wearing a tight 44 pants. ...I saw an add for the Oxycise! program and decided it was time to stop and try and do something. I thought I was too old to do the weight thing. "Much to my surprise I started and I felt a lot better after the first week. My breathing was good and my energy level was on the rise. In fact I fired the lawn man and am now doing all of the yard and singing again in Church, and the breath is good. I have so many rewards for doing your program I can't believe them all. I am contemplating going for the next level as I feel so good on this one and am able to do them at the right speeds with you on the video. Well I have lost 50+ pounds and have lost 6 sizes and have the energy of being about 20 years younger. Thanks again for the program and believe me, if I feel this good at 75 then anyone can do it and succeed. May God bless you and yours and may America join in to fitness."

*************** OXYCHAT! *************** September 28, 2004 Welcome to the Oxycise! Newsletter, a publication to help you in your quest for the body you want and deserve! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *A* Losing Weight for Good With Oxycise! *B* Oxycise! Progress *C* Health Tips ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This weekend while cleaning out a closet, I found the records I kept when I started Oxycise! in 1999. WOW, was I pleased with myself when I looked over those numbers. I have lost 25 pounds and 23 inches in four years! I have maintained the same weight for over a year doing the Oxycise! routine three times a week and several breathing reps a day, often in the car. I began to wonder what size I would be if I hadn't discovered Oxycise??? Not a pleasant thought! This is the one thing that has worked for me. Thanks again for the program and support through the wonderful newsletter and helpful telephone representatives." Jean from Massachusetts (April 15, 2003) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *A* Losing Weight for Good With Oxycise! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can you really lose weight and KEEP it off with the Oxycise! program? Here are just a few answers to that question from many Oxycise! customers who have done exactly that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Helene from New Jersey: "Oxycise! helped me go from a 16/18 to a 10/12 in only 6 months and I've maintained the loss for over 3 years now. Everything is better because of what Oxycise has done for me. It's literally changed my life. Look no further....Oxycise is the answer!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jodi from Fairbanks, Alaska: "I started this routine as part of a New Year's resolution weight loss challenge at work. I started about 4 different things at once to increase my chances of finally losing weight. Oxycise! is the only thing I have really maintained all through and I won the challenge, lost 60 pounds and have kept if off for over a year now. Unlike everyone else, I did not yo-yo. We weighed in every two weeks and I never went up at all. "It is a great plan. Everyone tells me this can't be ALL I am doing, but it is the only consistent thing. I love that you don't have to do it all at once. I just do it periodically throughout the day, so it doesn't seem like a 'chore' or something I have to schedule. It is fabulous. I feel great and everyone comments on how much better I look." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Penny Edwards, registered nurse: "I have been doing Oxycise! for almost 1 year now... I've never been a dieter or exercise type person - but after 3 kids and in my late 30's, I found myself at 150 pounds and feeling uncomfortable. At first, I did Oxycise! 1-2 times a day, 7 days a week. I also started eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking lots of water (and no more Coke!). From June 1 - October 1, I lost 30 pounds, going from a very tight size 12, to a very comfortable size 6 (even bought one pair of khakis - size 4!). I have maintained this weight since, doing Oxycise! about 4-5 days a week. I still really look forward to doing the workout - it has become a part of my life. Aside from the weight and inch loss, I now no longer suffer from lower back pain in the mornings - which I thought was due to my mattress - but I guess it wasn't. This is a wonderful way to exercise - especially for those of us with small children - when going to the gym or even a brisk walk through the neighborhood isn't feasible. ... Level 2 is my favorite - and the one I do most of the time." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trish Whinery (lost 45 pounds and went from size 16 to size 8, and is now a Certified Oxycise! Instructor) "I not only look younger, I have more energy than my teenagers.." "As a faithful user of the program for 4+ years now, I can't tell you what a blessing Oxycise! has been. For starters, I didn't take Oxycise! as seriously as I should have in the beginning. I went through the motions about 3x's a week and saw slow progress. I blamed everybody except myself. I since have learned 'WHAT I PUT INTO SOMETHING, I WILL GET OUT.' It's as simple as that. I began to pour myself into all of Jill's information; every article written, every book she has published, and so on. I learned about the proper way to fuel my body. TODAY--I eat more food than I have ever before, I faithfully do Oxycise! at 5:30 EVERY morning and sometimes around 7pm just before my shower. I not only look younger, I have more energy than my teenagers (I can even beat them when we jog), my metabolism is that of my youth (I eat 5-6 small HEALTHY meals a day), and look 10 years younger than my age. "Please take Oxycise! seriously and GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT! Thank you, Jill, for creating this fabulous workout for a better life."

If so, how long have you maintained your weight loss? We'd love to share YOUR story! write to julie@oxycise.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *B* OXYCISE! PROGRESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** DIANE *** September 20, 2004 Subject: Feeling firmer "Hi, Just a short message about Oxycise! I started Oxycise! about a month ago and I feel firmer in my legs and arms. I haven't lost any weight yet, but I'm hopeful, and I have lost inches. I would like to see Jill make more "Easy Does It" videos. I can keep up with the pace and I also like the three segments. Thank-you soooo much for thinking about us Seniors." Diane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** JOANNE *** September 20, 2004 "Hi Julie, I have been reading medical reports saying how deep breathing is a great stress reliever. Florida has really been under a stressful situation with the hurricanes. One news report said that everyone in this state has been subjected to trauma even if you aren't in a damaged area. Thankfully there has been no damage where we live, but we really feel for those who have been affected by the storms. "One thing that has helped, I believe, is having the Oxycise! program available. Doing the breathing exercises does help relieve stress and gives energy. I've been privileged to do some volunteer work in Punta Gorda in connection with food preparation and serving the workers who are helping with the rebuilding for the victims of the hurricane. Some have lost not only their homes but their jobs too. This help will be ongoing down here for a long time. It has been great to see so many helping when these things happen." Joanne Regarding her Oxycise! workouts, Joanne writes: "My favorites are Levels three and four. My husband and I have been to that area in Colorado and love the scenery in the background for the exercises. Those exercises are really effective too. I am so glad I have several of the videos for variety. That keeps the program interesting." She adds, "My 87 year old mother in Minnesota is still doing Oxycise! too. That is probably helping her to stay young and able to keep up with her busy schedule." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *C* Health Tips ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Losing Weight and Keeping it Off The National Weight Control Registry, established in 1993, has tracked and studied the behavior of over 4,000 people who have lost weight and kept it off. Registry members have lost at least 30 pounds and have maintained their loss for at least one year, but the average weight loss and maintenance time is 67 pounds and six years. Dr. James Hill, Ph.d., director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Science Center, and one of the principal investigators of the National Weight Control Registry, has identified four characteristics that seem common in these successful individuals: 1. Eat a low-fat, high carbohydrate diet ~ "Although a lot of people may think of only pasta and bread when they hear the word "carbohydrates," complex carbohydrates are in many foods, not only grains but also in beans and many vegetables. People in the Registry say they get about 56% of their calories from such carbohydrates, and only about 19% of calories from protein. Fat makes up about 25% of their diet." "The fact is that you can probably lose weight on any of the major diet plans, and Registry members slimmed down employing all sorts of different approaches. "However, what we've found is that people who are successful at maintaining their weight loss eat a low-fat and high-carbohydrate diet. So while a protein diet may be good for losing weight, it may not be the best for long-term weight maintenance." 2. Exercise every day ~ "Exercise is key to maintaining your weight loss and it's probably more important than diet." 3. Eat breakfast every day ~ "Although some people try to lose weight by cutting down on the number of meals they eat, that really isn't a good strategy. Skipping meals often just means that you'll be starving later and wind up overeating. Starting the day with breakfast can help prevent that, and on average, members of the Registry eat breakfast every day. A daily breakfast may also be a sign of the discipline that Registry members bring to how they eat. Being careful about when you eat may also help make you conscious of what you eat. 4. Keep track of your weight and eating ~ "We don't know exactly why regular weighing is a common characteristic of people who've been successful at maintaining their weight, but we speculate that people use their scales as an early warning system. If a person weighs herself regularly, she'll notice quickly if she has gained a few pounds and can then implement some strategies to prevent gaining more." The encouraging news from Dr Hill: "Regardless of body type or genetics, all sorts of people are successfully losing weight and keeping it off. While it may take some hard work and dedication, you can as well." *** Attention to all of our Oxycise! friends *** If you have lost at least 30 pounds and have maintained that loss for at least a year, you may be interested in joining the National Weight Control Registry: call 1-800-606-NWCR for more information Sources: http://www.uchsc.edu/nutrition/WyattJortberg/nwcr.htm http://my.webmd.com/content/article/87/99318.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REMEMBER: You have a magnificent body.
