"Hi,
It's been 5 weeks since I've been back to work after maternity leave. I do Oxycise! every morning (in my pajamas, right after I make my bed.) I am back into my size 6 and 7 clothes, but I still have my post-baby belly. After my first child, I spent an hour in the gym 4-6 days a week. Now, I'm 4 years older and I'm getting the same results with 15 minutes a day (plus some extra O!-breaths during my commute.) I do miss the gym workouts, but I just don't have time for them any more. I think I have about 10#s to go. Hopefully, I'll be back to size 5 by Thanksgiving."

Thanks,
Angela

"Dearest Julie, Jill, and the rest of the O! crew,
I want to thank you for producing your wonderful newsletter every week. It keeps me motivated. I am a 36-yr-old Active Duty U. S. Marine with over 14 years of service. My days are extremely long, with 10-12 hour workdays plus additional tasks/duties. I'm also the Mommy of a 4-yr-old and a 20-month-old, so they keep me busy as well. With such a full schedule, I need all the energy, strength, and patience I can muster. Oxycise! gives me all of those. It energizes me for the day, maintains my muscle tone, and calms my mind and spirit so I can accomplish each of my daily tasks without either "losing steam" or "getting steamed". :-)

"Thanks again for the consistent motivation and for producing such a wonderful product. I am confident that the benefits I gain by Oxycise! allow me to provide better service to our Nation on a daily basis."

Semper Fidelis,
(Marine Corps motto, "Always Faithful")

"Hi Julie,
Just wanted you to know that I now weigh exactly what I did in 1971 (I was 37 yrs old, 128 pounds.) And I didn't feel this great at that time.

"On Friday I will be 68 yrs old and never felt better, looked better or been better & I KNOW that Oxycise! gets the credit. I swear by it & MUST do it daily--like my body craves it!

"Getting ready to finish my last set of 100 for today (try to do at least 250) so will close by wishing you & yours a Happy Thanksgiving!!"

Best wishes,
Jane Cook

Jane adds: "You're free to share my success & thoughts and hopefully, it will encourage even the younger 'O-ers' as well as we older gals that we can all change ourselves for the better at any time in life."

"Dear Jill,
I have been Oxycising for 8 weeks now.  I cannot begin to tell you the wonderful changes that I have seen in my body. In February, I was at an all time low. My blood pressure was skyrocketing, I was severely overweight, suffering panic attacks, high blood sugar levels, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and a host of other physical ailments. I constantly ached all over and was severely depressed.

"In February, my husband finally convinced me to see a chiropractor. I was very skeptical about this approach. Even with my doubts I started going to see my chiropractor 3 times a week faithfully. There was dramatic improvement in my health just by seeing the chiropractor. Next I thought I would finally try to tackle the issue of my weight. Because of my back and knee pain, I knew that traditional exercise would not work for me. I had ordered BodyFlex tapes several months earlier but quit after the first week, I thought I would give it another try. To my astonishment it was working. Around this time I stumbled across Oxycise! on the web. I ordered your program right away and have been faithfully Oxycising and BodyFlexing since 4/18/01. I love both programs although I find Oxycise! a little more suitable to my hectic life.

"As of June 13, I have lost 29 pounds and 34 inches. I have lost nine inches off of my hips alone. When I measured myself on 6/13, I started to cry. In just a couple of months, my health and appearance has improved dramatically. Not only have I lost weight and inches, but my blood pressure is excellent. I had to stop taking my high blood pressure medication due to the low readings. I am no longer depressed, and my face is so toned and firm. Everyone says I have a glow that is out of this world. By the way, I only measure my upper abs, waist, lower abs, hips, and one thigh. I have also lost inches in my arms and calves. All of this in less than 2 months. Thanks Jill for Oxycise! Will update in a couple more months."

Yours Truly,

We wrote to Rhonda recently, asking if she had seen any improvement in her blood sugar levels since doing Oxycise!

On Nov. 22 she replied:

"Hi,
Yes, I did find improvement with the blood sugars. I had stopped Oxycising for about a period of 4 months and boy did I pay the price. The blood sugars went back up. The fibromyalgia symptoms came back. The anxiety, depression, and not to mention weight gain came back also. I started back to Oxycising 3 weeks ago and everything is improving once again. It works! It really works!"

"I wanted to write and thank you so much for the wonderful newsletters and inspiration. I started Oxycise! a few weeks ago and after just one week noticed I had to tighten my belt one more notch. It was rather funny actually 'cause as I was getting ready to leave the house was looking all over for my belt when I realized I had it on and needed to tighten it. I didn't notice any weight loss on my scale however for the next few weeks so slowly got away from doing the program. I too noticed afterwards how sluggish I felt and the belt had to go back to the original notch. I am back on the program and feel wonderful. Moved the belt back again to a smaller notch and will just wait for the scale to catch up to the ultimate results that I am physically seeing. Thank you so much."

"Hi,
I want to thank you for getting the Oxycise! newsletter out to me every week. It is so encouraging. I love Oxycise! and have been doing it (off and on) for almost two years. Unfortunately, I only do it sporadically - shame on me! Since I over-did EVERYTHING at Thanksgiving, I have done Level II everyday this week and have lost two pounds in four days! Altogether, I have lost about 23 lbs - slow, but sure. I am writing today to commit to doing this wonderful, easy 15 minute Oxycise! everyday and then I will report my BIG results to you. I turned 50 this year, am down to a size 16 - would like to get into a size 12, a size I have only worn for one short period of my life when I was 16 years old.

"Anyway, I just wanted to say Hi and thanks. I've told everyone about this program and have purchased and given away lots of tapes. I realized that giving someone the key does not work - they have to do it for themselves. Of all the people I have shared this with, I know only two people who are sticking with it. Unfortunately, my 350 lb sister "does not have time" - a pity. She is only 39 now, maybe when she hits 40, she will have an epiphany. I always think that if I could drop the 50 lbs I need to lose to look great, that my sister and other large folks (my hubby) around me would be duly impressed and follow suit. I know that Oxycise! is the safest, healthiest, easiest and most effective way to achieve weight loss - wish I would do as I say and not as I do! By writing this, I realize that my results are just not dramatic enough yet to impress large friends and family members - I guess my goal should be to JUST DO IT!

"I have a friend that waited until we were 'alone' at a party to ask me if I had had a facelift. She had not seen me for awhile, knowing that I live in southern CA where everyone has plastic surgery, thought for sure I had done something to my face. That Oxycise! breathing really does tone and get rid of that 2nd chin!

"Thanks again and hello to my hero, Jill!"

"Hi Jill,
My name is Laura Herman and I live in Newington, Connecticut (near Hartford). I have been Oxycising for two years and have done both levels one and two. I have purchased levels three and four but have not tried them yet. I also work out at a gym three times a week with my husband lifting weights. I Oxycise! on the days I don't go to the gym (three to four times a week). I am 52 years old but look much younger. ... I am 5'1" tall and weigh 110 lbs. I am in fairly good shape since I have been exercising for the past 17 years or so and eat healthy most of the time. However, I would like to drop about 5 pounds and firm my abs and arms a little more, so I am going to give levels three and four a try...

"I really enjoy Oxycising and feel it has made a difference in my energy level and has helped to maintain my weight and health over the past two years."

Karen Freeland has graciously given us permission to share the following letter, and says, "I hope it might be helpful to others experiencing a crisis." Our thoughts and prayers are with Karen as well as others who have experienced the loss of loved ones.

"Oxycise!, along with my wonderful family and friends and my faith, has helped me as I grieve. My husband died of an unexpected heart attack on October 9 at age 49. I have been going through the motions of life with a sense of devastating isolation, without energy or joy. It was hard to even breathe. For weeks, I couldn't bring myself to Oxycise! When I started again, I found wonderful benefits. It gives me energy and helps me breathe deeply again. It relieves my anxiety. Just the act of smiling as I breathe gives me a sense of well-being. All this brings me hope - there will be joy in life again. Thank you, Jill, and everyone at Oxycise! You have given me comfort and are part of my healing."
