I just wanted to thank you for writing such a beautiful (and much needed) newsletter this week. It spoke to me. It resonated in me. I needed to hear the words, and I thank you for that.

Donna

Thank you, Donna!

So glad you found it helpful!

Here's a copy of that newsletter, for those who might not have seen it earlier:

*A* Success in the Making!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For this week's editorial I thought it would be fun to highlight the progress of one of the STARS of our website OxyChat Message Room, Michelle, better known as "joyfulmama." Michelle is well on her way to success and I know she won't mind if I share some excerpts from some of her posts on our board. I hope that her hard work and achievements will inspire many others!

"Hi. I have been doing Oxycise! for 10 days, I love it. I have so much energy. My muscles, usually tight and sore are so much looser. I have a back injury from a car accident and sometimes it makes my legs hurt, but this week the pain is so much better and I can even run down the stairs now ( I have not done that in a while). My ability to deal with stress is much improved and instead of dragging myself out of bed in the mornings I wake up limber and energized and ready to start the day. It used to take me about an hour before I felt awake enough to do anything (shower included). I have also seen a change in my waist line and thighs and hips, also some in my face! I am so excited. I am a size 28/30, and would desperately like to go to at least a 12, I know it will take time but I believe I have found the solution. I also swim 3 to 4 days a week and have started Oxycise! breathing while I swim."

"Hi Julie,
No problem sharing. I have been emailing all my friends and family to check out Oxycise! In the first week I lost a grand total (and I checked it 2x) from 7 measured places 12.25 inches, I was in shock! I was hoping for maybe 4 inches total. I have found that if I do Oxycise! before bed I sleep so much better and wake up so energized I can literally bounce out of bed, not something I have ever done! My husband likes that I have the spark, or pep back in my personality. I have also noticed that my face is much thinner! Yeah! I Have prayed for something like this for so long."


June 12, 2004
"...I am so amazed this week I lost another 8.5 inches that is 20.75 inches in 2 weeks, my face looks so much thinner and I feel and look so much younger! ( I am only 28 but now I look like I did when I was 22)."


July 1, 2004
"Hello, My one month results are astounding. I measured from 7 places and lost 26 inches that is an average of 3.7 inches from each spot. I am simply amazed! I did realize last night after reading the newsletter, that I was not breathing correctly, I kept my abs tight the whole time, I guess I thought I could work them harder and get better results, well, let's see how I do when I do it right."


July 05, 2004
"...I measured again this week. I measure every Friday. I lost another 6.25 inches! They are coming off so easy. By just breathing right I lost 3.25 more inches than the week before. God has been so good to lead me to Oxycise! and to bless my results. My husband who is 6'4" and barely 200 with a 32 inch waist has started to do the Oxycise! breathing while he is driving (he works in the oil field and drives a lot.) and it is helping him to stay awake, when he has put in a long day and still has to drive back into town. My adorable 5 yr old does the whole 15 min now and when she is done she comes down and says, " I did my Oxycise and boy, do I feel GREAT!" Oxycise! has been so amazing for me and my family. I got my mom to start it as well, she bought the book and I loaned her my intro video so she could see how it works, and if she hasn't bought a video by Christmas then I will get one for her. My sister even wants to do it with my mom."


Michelle, congratulations on your fabulous results, and thank you for being the inspiration of this week's newsletter! Please keep us posted on your continuing Success Story!

"Happy Breathing" to All!
Julie,

"Hello Julie,
I took advantage of the buy-one, get-one-free offer a while back and bought my mother EDI ["Easy Does It"] Level 1 and "Buns and Thighs 2" for me. She was doing the Weight Watchers diet and walking her treadmill for 45 minutes every day at the time. She said she needed something else in her routine so I suggested Oxycise! Since we live 2600 miles away from each other, I couldn't lend mine to her, so I took a chance that she would enjoy EDI. Well, she really enjoyed it and said she was going to have to have another tape so she wouldn't get bored doing the same one everyday. Boy, was that a hint? Well, Mother's Day was a few weeks away so I ordered EDI L2 and L3. I sent her L2 and kept L3 for her birthday in June. She fell in love with that too. I talked to her last night and she sounded great. Usually when we talk she sounds like she's out of breath. Well, not anymore. She said other people have noticed the improvement too. She has asthma, so when she dances or walks her treadmill she has had to use the inhaler, but when she Oxycises, she doesn't have to use it. Obviously Oxycise! has improved her breathing capabilities. She even has her tap dance teacher interested in Oxycise! now. She told me there was a down side. She said she had gained three pounds. I told her she was probably gaining muscle. I asked how her clothes fit and she said fine. I told her to take her measurements and keep a close eye on those and not to worry about the scales at this point. She said that I could be right because when she bought a bra the other day she had gone down a whole size. By the way, that didn't bother her! Well, there you have it, Julie...another happy customer."

MICHELLE'S FRUIT SMOOTHIE RECIPE

"Here is a great smoothie idea.

"I take fresh squeezed orange juice ( usually 4 to 5 oranges), frozen bananas and frozen strawberries. I freeze the bananas in slices and buy frozen strawberries if fresh are not on sale

"More frozen fruit than juice makes for a thicker smoothie, for thinner smoothies use more juice Totally natural and way delicious."

Lisa, who says Oxycise! helped her lose 54 pounds and 3 sizes in 6 months, shared some thoughts about "sticking with it":

"I guess as far as sticking with it goes, I would add that there are many days where I'm exhausted from waking up early and running around after my daughter all morning and I think I'd rather relax during her nap and not exercise. But then I remind myself that it's ONLY 15 minutes, and that I always feel energized and ready to face the rest of the day after I Oxycise!, and that if I put it off for 1 day, I'm more likely to put if off the next day as well. I worked too hard to go backwards now!"
