From 410 Pounds to 200!  

"Dear Jill,
I just wanted to let you know about the impact that Oxycise! has had in my life. I have been overweight for most of my life. I have been battling weight problems on various diets and exercise programs for years with very little success. In fact with the passing of each year my health continued to decline and I had pretty well given up all hope of ever losing weight, let alone being thin again. I began to suffer from high blood pressure, asthma, allergies, high triglyceride levels, high blood sugar levels and worse yet I was suffering from severe GastroEsophogeal Reflux Disorder that was also causing panic attacks. I knew I had to lose the weight to rid myself of these problems.

"I started to go to a local gymnasium because I knew that the weight wouldn't come off as quickly if I didn't incorporate some sort of exercise program, so I decided to sign up for a spinning class (stationary bicycles). Unfortunately my heart rate would get up so high during the class that I thought I was going to suffer a heart attack and this would cause the panic attacks to start again. I was so frustrated because I wanted to exercise, but didn't know what I could do thinking that I had to exert myself to get any benefit. That's when I discovered Oxycise!  At first I was skeptical, but I wanted to do something--anything--to lose the weight. I'm so grateful that I decided to order the Oxycise! Level 1 tapes. I was able to burn off the excess fat right away and didn't even break a sweat! The deep-breathing technique you have developed is so effective, so amazing. Not only has it helped me to lose weight, but more than anything I believe the deep-breathing has helped heal my body and restore my overall health.

"Since I've been doing Oxycise!, my chest measurement has gone from 50.5 inches down to 42.5 inches, but the amazing part is the fact that my lung capacity has gone from 425 L/min to 620 L/min. My shirt size has gone from a 5X to large. My waist has gone from pants size 60 inches to 36-inch waist. Even my wedding ring had to be adjusted from a size 14 to 9.5. Amazingly my weight has gone from 410 pounds down to 200. Oxycise! has helped me in losing more than ½ my body weight and I've never felt better. Oxycise! has brought about a mighty change and has given me my life back, now I can play with my children instead of being a spectator.

"I am so grateful for all that my wife, Francisca, has done to help me.  Without her encouragement and support I wouldn't have been able to accomplish my weight loss goal. She has also had a great deal of success using Oxycise! along with me, she has used Oxycise! to go from 155 pounds down to her current weight of 127.5 and she looks great!"

"We both want to thank-you for your inspired program and for helping us improve our health and quality of life."

Sincerely,
Shaun T. Zimmerman & Francisca Zimmerman-Lopez

"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."

Tight 16 to Comfortable 14

"Hi,
My mom gave me the instructional and level one workout videos for my 40th birthday a couple of months ago. It has been WONDERFUL...I have decreased from a tight size 16 pants to a comfortably fitting size 14. The last time I was in a size 14 pants was when I weighed a good 15 pounds less than I do now. That is how I know it is the Oxycise! and not just the diet I am on. I had lost about 10 pounds before I started the Oxycise! tape, and have lost another 10 pounds with both the diet and Oxycise!...but I am much more trim than when I was at this weight with just dieting. My family laughs at me, but you can't argue with success, now, can you?

"...Anyway, Oxycise! has been unbelievable. Thank you so much."

"I noticed my weight slowly creeping up..."

"I don't really have an earth-shaking story to tell like so many folks, since I've always been thin--mostly I was born with good genes in that department & throughout my adult life I have maintained some sort of exercise program & tried to eat right. But last December I married & have found that my eating & exercise routines were being slowly changed...and not for the better! I noticed my weight slowly creeping up a pound or so a month...now most people couldn't understand why I was concerned because I was thin already...'you don't have to worry about your weight.' But I have a sister who USED to be as thin as I, & now she has a real weight problem. So...I was looking for something to fit into my new lifestyle & routine. Not really having a lot of faith, I ordered the Oxycise! start-up kit offered in my local Sunday's paper's magazine section.

"It came in mid-October & at first I didn't see much difference--it really did take awhile to coordinate the breathing with the body positions but I hung in there. I have especially enjoyed the Oxycise! commuter routine...it gives me a chance to do the Oxycise! 15-minute routine at least twice daily without sacrificing any of my family time at home. I also do the basic 15-minute workout video nearly everyday. And, guess what, even with the usual holiday eating I have managed to get my weight down 6 lbs., which is where I want it to be. I, & my husband, can also see a difference in my muscle tone.

"My husband, who is a good 40 lbs. overweight, started the program with me but he only does it haphazardly so he has not seen the weight loss results I believe he would see if he really dedicated himself to it. Even he feels his muscle tone is better & he HAS lost a couple of pounds, instead of gaining during the holidays.

"I have just ordered the Oxycise! level two video & look forward to continued success with the program. I feel that if anyone will truly dedicate themselves they will see results."

Thanks,

"Oxycise! is the only exercise program I can follow."

"I have multiple sclerosis and find that Oxycise! is the only exercise program I can follow. My benefits are like the others, better sleep, but also more flexibility (I have spasticity in my right hip and leg), much more energy, better moods, clearer thinking, better concentration and better control of other parts of my body that my MS affects. It also seems to keep my appetite down to a more normal (?) range and greatly decreases my insane cravings for sweets. I got these tapes over a year ago and never did them right or consistently. Then in late Sept. I made up my mind to give them another try and to make it count. That's when I figured out that I wasn't doing the breathing right. The other benefits I mentioned became apparent immediately and were enough to keep me hooked for life. Now on top of all the other great stuff, I've lost 13 pounds in about 13 weeks and several inches!"

"This is the first thing I have ever been able to stick to and enjoy."

"Well - like most people who are overweight, I have been that way on and off for most of my adult life. By the age of 25 I had tried Weigh Watchers, fad diets, gyms, pills, and aerobics and although I lost weights sometimes, it would always come back in the truckloads. At the age of about 26 I gave up dieting and it was the best thing I ever did - and now, although I don't overeat and I'm vegetarian, I am 34 years old and still overweight and was resigned to it - UNTIL I found Oxycise!   At last, I thought, something that is easy to fit in and is natural. I tried it with much skepticism but was very surprised to find my skirts were looser after only 4 sessions. Then I found the website!!! This has been an inspiration to me - I read everyone's story and looked at all the 'Smiles Of Success' stories and pictures, and then I started doing Oxycise! daily! That was 3 weeks ago and I have lost 9.5 inches including some off places that I never normally lose weight from - my knees!  I get married in 4 weeks and I know I will feel much happier in my dress. I still have a long way to go (about 3 dress sizes) but I know now I CAN do it every day - this is the first thing I have ever been able to stick to and enjoy. My tummy is flatter, my waist is smaller and my face is more defined. I feel better and sleep better and I know one day soon I will fit back into my other wardrobe of clothes!"

"I am so excited about this Oxycise! stuff!"

"I am so excited about this Oxycise! stuff! I measured today, Sunday, and I can't believe my results! I have lost a total of 16 and 1/4 inches! I even ate pretty bad this week, because of some extra added stress. It has been 8 weeks since I started measuring, and I just can't believe it! 

"...I have done at least 30 Oxycise! reps each day. It's a habit for me now! I don't feel quite right if I don't get my breathing in every single day. I have also started doing the commuter tape sometimes, too. That's an added bonus to my days when I do it. I just started doing level 3. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I feel like I'm right there in the room with Jill and her family while I'm doing it. I can't believe something so simple can make me feel so good, and so good about myself. Oh yeah, I have also lost 7 pounds now, too!  That excites me a little, too. I am in the process of changing eating habits I've had for 37 years now.

"So the weight loss is a plus. I feel so much better about myself! I want the weight to come off slow. I don't want to lose too much too fast. I want the weight to come off, and stay off! This is something I will be doing for a long time, probably the rest of my life! Thank you so much Jill!!!!!!!

"My clothes fit so much better! Some are even getting too big! I feel healthier! I think this is the answer to my 37 year old weight problem!  My husband bought me level 4 and Buns and Thighs 1 for my birthday that's at the end of the month. I'm looking forward to my 38th birthday!  Can you believe it?!? Thank you Jill! You should definitely be very proud of yourself! I read all the Success Stories every day from different people you have helped. That's one of the big things that helps me to keep going.

"You are an angel of God!  I prayed in church every Sunday for God to help me with my weight problem. He sure did!  He sent me you, and Oxycise!"'

"This is what I have been looking for the last 8 years."

"I have never been one to make new year's resolutions, because I never keep them anyway. I put too much pressure on myself and feel like a failure when I don't follow through with them.

"This year was different for me, though. In December, I decided it was time to start focusing on me. I am the mother of two very young, energetic children (a girl 3 1/2 & a boy 1 1/2). I was tired all of the time and I couldn't seem to lose the weight I have been carrying since a year after I met my husband. I am 5' 0" tall and very small framed, so every pound I gain shows on me. I have been carrying about 20-25 extra pounds around for the last 8 years.

"I made the conscious decision that it was time to lose this weight, and fit back into a pair of 6 jeans, loosely. Instead of the tight size 8, pushing a 10 that I have filled my closet with. It is time to take control again and care enough about myself to do this. Besides, my children and husband deserve to have a mommy and wife that is in top form. After all, it's a lot of work taking care of a family.

"I started out the week of Christmas with Weight Watchers' new 1-2-3 success plan. After 5 weeks, I have lost 4.7 lbs, but no inches and the treadmill is showing no results. Then about 3 weeks ago, I saw the Oxycise! infomercial on TV (just after my treadmill workout). I instantly called to order the video set.

"After my first six days, I have lost 2 lbs, 1" off of my bust, 1" off of my waist, and 1" off of my hips! I am so excited about Oxycise!! This is what I have been looking for the last 8 years. I can't wait to send in my 'After' photo to you! Because I can see already that Oxycise! does work.

"Thank you so much Jill, for discovering Oxycise! and sharing it with us! You are truly an inspiration and a crusader!"

Sincerely,

"I feel absolutely incredible."

"Dear Jill,
I can't thank you enough for opening my eyes to the truth about weight loss and health! I saw your Infomercial late one night while walking the floors with my 4 month old daughter and instantly became intrigued. I had gained too much weight during a very difficult pregnancy and retained 15 pounds even after my body naturally shed 10 pregnancy pounds within 2 months of my daughter's birth. Due to certain health issues and the fact that I was nursing I could not go on any kind of calorie cutting diets and the daily walks on the treadmill were doing nothing but taking up precious time. So, I called and ordered your level one work out, commuter tape and Oxycise! book. Within 3 months I lost the 15 pounds and kept it off! It's now 1 1/2 years later and I am pregnant again. Right before I got pregnant, my husband, daughter and I went on vacation and did a lot of traveling for my husband's job training over the coarse of a month. We did a lot of eating out and spent a lot of time in the car and hotels. I did not do Oxycise! during that time. Needless to say, I gained over five pounds! Once I got back home and found out I was pregnant, that was all the encouragement I needed to get back in the Oxycise! habit. I lost almost 10 lbs in less than 2 months, safely and under the supervision of my midwife. I am now 4 1/2 months pregnant with a growing belly and I still weigh less than I did when I found out I was pregnant! I Oxycise! religiously and plan to continue to throughout my pregnancy. I feel absolutely incredible, which was not at all the case with my first pregnancy. And, I have no more cellulite!!!  It's amazing!

"I have been telling everyone about Oxycise! I've been trying especially hard to get my mother to do it for a long time because she has severely high blood pressure and high triyglicerides due to her weight. She is finally doing it with me and in the very first week she lost 3 pounds and it is already beginning to lower her blood pressure. I'll have to be sure to update you once the baby is here. Thank you so much! You're an angel!"
