Cristie -- Age 60

"Hello!
"Want to say thank you for the excellent diet book.*  I have struggled with diets since I was 30 years old. I am now 60. I am very toxin laden (too much medications for years and years of migraine headaches) and all my struggles with a cleansing diet has always failed. Mostly because I can't tolerate any fruit and most diets require fasting and near starvation over all. I'm thrilled over the lists categorizing foods so one can eat without guilt. I was 131# and all of it was centered in the mid section. Arms, legs and face were skinny. I am 5'5" so I was not terribly overweight but so out of shape that mostly all the weight was fat. 

"I was a little slow to get started but have now lost 9 lb. and 10 inches. Five of the inches has come off the waist. I need to lose some more and gain some muscle instead. I was a little lazy about the exercises because they would wear me out, but then I realized that my calf muscles were returning and my legs began to look shapelier so now I'm doing the full 30 reps daily.

"I eat a lot of raw salads which include sprouted lentils and mung bean sprouts. NO FAT or oily dressing. Also I make fresh veggie juices and with the exercises I seem to get away with it without the usual cleansing symptoms. I'm sure the food combining helps too.

"Thanks again for rejuvenating this old lady. I really needed a health building diet."

Nancy -- Age 60

Nancy first wrote to us last year, when she was 59:

"Last February my daughter told me about an exercise tape she had been using since the birth of her third child. She had done a great job of losing her pregnancy weight. Since I was approaching my 60th birthday in six months I decided it was time to do something about the 20 pounds I needed to lose. By the time my birthday rolled around in August I had lost fifteen of those pounds and have kept them off...even through business trips with my husband and family vacations! Oxycise is GREAT!! I have never felt better or had more energy! Thanks, Jill, for helping me. I miss you on the days I do not do the exercises."

"Hi Jill,
"I want to tell you that I really appreciate finding out about Oxycise! and have told many people about it. I joined Weight Watchers last January and was doing good on that, but now since I have also started doing your great exercise program, the success rate for my weight loss has been a wonderful slow loss.  I have shared at those meetings my new Breathing Exercise Program called Oxycise! and we have discussed the big benefits of it.

Margarete -- Age 71 

"I am a very healthy 71, but I need to lose 20 lb..."

"I am very happy to report a 4-1/2 inch loss, along with 1-1/2 pounds.

"I enjoy doing Oxycise!, which is something I have never said before about any other kind of exercise. And I have done many different types."

Hugs,
Margarete

Betty -- Age 68

"We live on a mountain top on 20 acres in Montana. I was loading the motor home for a trip the first week of July and carrying a dog food bowl with a water bowl balanced on top. I was not looking where I was stepping and slipped off the stepping stone at the front of the motor home. I sprawled into the dirt and slid. I hit so hard I almost lost my breath. My face was in the dirt and my glasses had the lenses so deeply scratched that I could barely see through the left one. The frames were also bent.  I had dirt all over my face and in my mouth. This is to give an idea of how devastating the fall was. We were leaving to spend a week with friends in Idaho and I was determined not to let anything spoil the holiday. I called to my husband who was in the house and he came out to help me get up as I had no strength in my leg muscles from the shock of the fall. The first miracle is that no bones were broken.

Sarah's Grandma -- Age 75

Sarah wrote about her 75 year-old Grandmother in our Message Room

Subject: Anyone Can Do This!

"I have got my grandmother, who doesn't have much mobility right now, hooked on Oxycise! When she first awakes in the morning, she does several repetitions in bed. She does this both with her legs stretched out in front of her and with her knees bent. She finds that this also helps her to have enough energy to get out of bed. Then, later on in the day, she Oxycises once again while sitting in her chair, with different arm positions, or sometimes just breathing and sitting in an upright position. After one month, she has lost ten pounds (she is about 80 pounds overweight) and is feeling much more energy. She has found that this is the perfect exercise program for her since she is not able to walk, and finds lifting weights very difficult."

Betty -- Age 69

 "...nothing has worked for me over the long haul until Oxycise! came into my life."

"I have been using the Oxycise! system for a year now. As so many  have, I tried diet programs, exercise and even the dangerous Phen-Fen drug  combination to lose and stabilize my weight fluctuations. I am a retired Home Economist and university professor and know all the weight-loss "theories"  that don't work. I have found the Oxycise! system to be soundly based on the  physiology of the body and its needs to function at an optimum level for good  health. As a 69-year old woman I have seen and done it all and nothing has worked for me over the long haul until Oxycise! came into my life. It has changed the way I manage my body and my health. It has proven to be a gentle,  steady and unfailing method of weight-loss combined with a feeling of  well-being and energy that became its own motivation to make it a lifetime solution to my age-old problem. The weekly newsletters are an extra plus that I print and keep in a loose-leaf notebook to read and enjoy many times over.

"Thank you, Jill, for making Oxycise! an important part of my day."

Beverly -- 67 Years Young

"I'd be glad to share my story.. I am 67. I really wanted to do Oxycise! to strengthen my back, since I have a disk problem. I have suffered with this for years.

"I have been doing Oxy since Feb. I still have back pain but not as bad. My stomach is tighter which helps the back. I have lost at least 4 inches, and 8 pds. I don't really need to lose that much. I feel better also. I have my sisters doing it and my Daughter-in-law.

"One of my sisters broke her leg, and she still does Oxy in the positions that she is able to.

"This is something I will be able to do for the rest of my life. I am still working as an assistant to a Speech Therapist in an elementary school. I think this will give me the energy to work a long time in the future."
