"I want to tell you about my results. I have worked really hard and have lost a lot of weight in the past few years, but I have been feeling really downhearted about my body, because no matter how well I ate, or how many vitamins I took, or how much I exercised, my skin was so loose, and my body shape just wasn't satisfactory.
"I am 45, and so the signs of aging combined with a large weight loss had left my body looking old, my skin really loose and without much tone. It was depressing to have finally lost so much weight, and yet to feel so bad about my body still. It was very depressing! I was feeling pretty hopeless that I could ever feel good about my body again...which is not the way one wants to feel after working so hard to lose weight! I had 20 more pounds I wanted to lose, but didn't even want to do it, because I knew it meant I would feel worse about my body than I did before!
"I started doing Oxycise!, and even doing it only once a day, and not all that wholeheartedly and not all that often, I began to notice my body starting to firm up in some of the really loose areas. Then, I visited your website and got totally inspired. I read every single success story and decided to really go 'all the way' with Oxycise! Just two weeks ago, I began doing O twice a day, Level 1 in the morning and Level 2 after work. I also began to REALLY do the basic breath, I mean really doing it with gusto, and giving it all I've got.
"What has happened in the last two weeks has been nothing short of astounding. My skin is firming up and getting toned and tightened. I cannot believe how rosy my complexion is, and how much my body is toning and tightening and firming up! I have lost about 5 more pounds, and have gone down 2 pants sizes in 2 weeks, just from my body tightening up so much. My cellulite is going away! This is cellulite I've had for over 20 years, that NOTHING would touch! And now it is just melting off me! My skin isn't drooping anymore! The bags under my eyes have gone away, and I swear that even some wrinkles I was getting on my face are disappearing. The whites of my eyes are so much whiter. My body is getting re-proportioned. I am watching it change shape before my eyes on a daily basis...I can't believe it!
"I also sleep better, have less stress and anxiety, am much happier all day, have a huge increase in endurance, have no more headaches, and have been able to go off some medications I was taking...I don't need them anymore! I also notice that when I go fitness walking, I have absolutely no stiffness like I used to, and I can walk much farther with no exertion at all. My fitness level is definitely far above what it was before, even when I was doing hours of step aerobics and other kinds of exercise. Now, all I do is Oxycise!, twice a day, and some walking, and I am in 1000% better shape than I was when doing all those other forms of exercise that took so much more time to do!
"To say that I am sold on Oxycise! is the understatement of the millennium. I can't tell you how happy I feel to finally know I have a tool to change my body and make it more youthful and beautiful and healthy, especially as I age. It truly is astounding the changes in my body over the past few weeks. I am so excited to see more changes that I know are on the way. It feels so good to know that I can finally have a toned body that I can feel good about, even at my age, and after having lost so much weight.
"Jill, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing your discovery with us. I will always be eternally grateful to you!"
"I am happy to report that I have lost about 45 lbs. and almost 30 inches since June and have gone from a size 24 to about a 14. Also, I had suffered from depression and was going to schedule an appointment with my doctor to be put on antidepressants, but since Oxycising, I have not suffered from the symptoms of depression that plagued me for over 15 years.
"My family and friends have all commented to me that I am a completely different person now, and I know that Oxycise is a big part of that change! Several of my Oxycising friends and I have even noticed that our PMS symptoms have virtually disappeared as a result of using the tapes! (I know the men in our lives thank you for that!)
"As a professional singer, it has even improved my singing. I am experiencing more breath control and can sustain notes much longer than I could before. I encourage all of my voice students to purchase the tapes as a way to increase their lung capacity and to tone up their abdominal muscles (which get used a lot in singing). I want to send a great big thanks to everyone at Oxycise! for providing such a wonderful, natural way to lose weight and feel better about yourself. I look forward to hearing from the production company. Keep up the great work!"

Kathy's Latest Results: 75 Pounds, 40 Inches!
"It's been a while since I've written in with my results and I wanted to give you an update. Since I started Oxycising in June of last year I have lost about 75 pounds and 40 inches. It is amazing how much more energy I have! Almost everyday people comment to me on how much weight I've lost. I look and feel like a totally different person!
"I still have about 50 pounds to go to reach my goal, but it is so encouraging to me to know that I'm more than halfway there. I couldn't even imaging being as far as I am now, if it were not for Oxycise! And best of all, I can't shop at the plus sized stores any more because all of their clothes are too big on me! I love being able to shop almost anywhere!"
"I'm a 38 year old mother of four and writer (translate sedentary) weighing 160 lbs. at 5'7". I've been an off-and-on-again Oxyciser for a year now eating anything and everything I want (sadly I have a sweet tooth). Before Oxycise! I struggled just to keep my weight at 170 and couldn't stick to an exercise program (my Nordic Track sits in the corner collecting dust).
"Oxycise! is the only exercise I've found that I like and can consistently commit to. My resolution this year to celebrate the millennium (new century, new habits) is to consistently Oxycise! 30 minutes a day and make healthy food choices. I like Jill's advice in her book touting lots of fresh vegetables, fruits and grains.
"Now I Oxycise! in one thirty minute sitting (while my toddler naps) every single day, and I love it! I workout to levels 1 and 2 but levels 3 and 4 are waiting in the wings in case I get bored. My goal is to lose 35 excess baby pounds by the end of the year and I know, I know without a doubt that I can do it with Oxycise!
"So far Oxycise! has already reshaped my face and firmed and toned some muscles. And the energy! I never had energy before Oxycise, in fact, I used to take herbal supplements (Ginseng) to give me energy, but since Oxycising I threw them away.
"My testimony of Oxycise isn't just in the inches and weight arena. If I never lost a pound or an inch I'd still O! because of the energy and confidence it gives me. It makes me feel great. I suffer from PMS, and my husband knows when I've been Oxycising (my family thanks Oxycise!).
"Because of the confidence and stamina and energy Oxycise! gave me, I accompanied my husband on a week long business trip to Seattle and Canada, entertaining our four children (ages 10, 8, 5 and a holy terror 17-month-old) all day while he worked. I never would have been able to handle that before O!
"So thanks Jill for sharing your discovery and research, thanks Julie for your inspiring steady newsletter, thanks Oxycise! for giving me my life back!
"Sidenote: here's something I do to motivate me. I keep a pocket calendar on my kitchen wall and put a sticker on each day I O! which for me is two stickers a day. It's positively heartening to see those stickers add up! Also, I scanned the cover of Jill's book onto my computer as a desktop. So now whenever I'm at my computer I have Oxycise! on my screen (subliminal reminder to get up and do it!)"
Thank you all so much,
Lorna Goodman
Update:
"You may not remember me, but I am on the Oxycise! website 'Smiles of Success.' I have gone on to lose 40 more pounds since I submitted those, by following Jill's 'Fuel For Success' eating plan mostly, and Oxycising when possible but not daily. I cannot say enough about eating more veggies and fruits and avoiding meat, dairy, sugar, etc. When I was just Oxycising alone I kept weight off, but not losing either, while eating all those unhealthy things (as Jill predicts in her book). As I did both, and even just following the eating lifestyle, I have dropped the weight.
"Her book, which in my opinion doesn't get enough emphasis, is very similar to other plans out there including 'Fit For Life' and Marilu Henner's (food combining.) Just wanted to mention that!"
Sincerely,
Lorna, Utah
Update:
"Hi Julie,
I really really appreciate your weekly Oxycise newsletter; thank you for the ongoing motivation!
"An Oxyciser for nearly four years, this is the one exercise I keep coming back to. I have in the past swam, jogged, jump-roped and danced my way to fitness, and currently enjoy the peaceful breathing movements of yoga and tai chi, but Oxycise! is the one exercise I consistently practice. Oxycise! gives me the tone, face shaping, mood-building, confidence and stamina I need, and working out with Jill is like having my own personal trainer. And I know I'm making a difference in my health on a cellular level.
"I like to play around with Oxycise so during my Level 1 & Level 2 workouts I've added ankle weights during one workout/tape and then switch them to my wrist during the other tape. This has been fun and I feel like I'm getting even more weight training with them.
"One bonus; I've decided to add meditation to my health program to help me focus because during Oxycise! my creativity streams forth continuously, and I constantly pause the tapes to write something down (goodbye writer's block.) Good thing the workout can be done piecemeal instead of in a steady 15-minute burst!
"Well, just wanted to chime in with my progress, keep up the good work and keep on breathin'!"
Evelyn was introduced to Oxycise! by her friend Debbie Stancil and writes:
"Debbie showed me how to Oxycise! I was so amazed at this. I have a very bad back and deal with headaches all the time. Doing most any kind of exercise really hurts me but doing this with Debbie did not hurt me at all. I am so thankful for her showing me how to do this. . . I have been doing this for 6 days now and have had no pain in my back or headaches. I do not know what else to say but thank you and thanks to people like Debbie that are willing to share what they have learned. Oxycise! is a great gift to the ones that need this help. Again thank you."
"After 10 years of trying to lose weight with the low fat/high carb approach to eating, and systematically gaining 20 pounds, I found a carbohydrate management way of eating. It took me a year to lose the 20 pounds I'd gained, but I still had the original 10 pounds to lose.
"The eating management was excruciatingly slow and after a year, I was plateaued on the weight, but worse, my clothes fit the same way they had when I was heavier and no one noticed my achievement. I couldn't even see it in myself.
"Then I was introduced to breathing as a form of exercise. I used another plan for the first month and began to see some changes, but for me, there were some difficulties with the program. At that point, I found Oxycise! My inches began to fall off. I went from a size 14 to a size 8 and another 10 pounds came off quickly.
"Oxycise! is the only form of exercise I've ever stuck with long-term. I have all seven tapes and I do a different one faithfully every morning. I went to Australia last summer and even did Oxycise! on the airplane! I also do one 'rep' before meals and use Jill's commuter tape on car trips that are long enough.
"I highly recommend Oxycise! to my friends and clients."
1. The cellulite on the back of my upper legs and butt is greatly diminished. I don't know of any other program that is capable of getting these results.
2. My calves and forearms feel really taut, as compared to feeling mushy. (It's hard to tone these areas).
3. Oxycise! seems to cut my appetite and I don't crave for junk food.
4. The flexibility that I get from this program is far greater than I have ever experienced with any other type of stretching or yoga.
5. I have a very busy lifestyle, and spend a lot of time in my car. This was the reason I bought the program in the first place. When I am really stressed out, I do the basic breath between getting from Point A to Point B and it calms me right down, plus I am getting all the benefits associated with increased Oxygen intake.
6. When I am really crunched for time, I can at least do 15 minutes of Oxycise! in the morning and feel like I haven't missed my daily exercise.
7. My inner abdominal muscles feel very tight, a sensation that I couldn't get from doing regular ab exercises which work the outer muscles.
"When I received my Oxycise! program I had a cold and only did the program for three days, before finding out I had walking pneumonia. I did not do the exercise the following four days, and still lost 3 pounds the first week and 1 1/2 inches. After recuperating, the next week I did the program daily. When I measured the second week, I had lost 7 pounds and 5 1/2 inches. I lost 2 of those inches around my waist.
"This is truly amazing because I have had seven surgeries on my stomach, and I haven't even been able to lift my head up off the floor to do sit ups. Therefore, for the past 16 years I haven't even been able to work on my abs. I also started eating a low fat diet. Once I found that the Oxycise was working, it inspired me to work harder on other habits.
"I have three sons, and they make fun every time I do the routine, because they think 'no pain, no gain'. But I have seen really good results, with minimal effort (compared to past efforts). I love this program because I don't have to have special clothes, I can easily fit 15 minutes into my day, and I don't work up a sweat so I can exercise than go. I have told my co-worker about it, and she is buying her set. I am my own best advertisement, because people ask me what I'm doing to lose weight. I can see that this is something I can continue indefinitely because there are no limitations, and it is easy to stay committed to something when you see results. I am able to spend more time with my family because I don't have to change clothes when I get home from work and run to the gym. It simply takes 15 minutes away from them, and I'm still at home. The kids don't mind giving up the VCR for 15 minutes, but they would if I had an exercise tape that lasted 30 minutes to an hour. I have noted every possible reason to do this workout, and can think of very few reasons why not to. Thank you so much Jill, this is truly a great product!!"
"I'm totally new to this method, but already -- within just a couple of days of breathing correctly (the Oxycise! way), my energy is up, my appetite is less (no real cravings, that is), I'm sleeping better, and I just FEEL better.
"...I've been stuck at the same weight and size for three years now, and I can't wait to get this little 5' 4" frame back into a size 10 instead of a size 14-16. I'm very impressed with Oxycise! and feel confident I'll see results.
