Hi Rose! I'm still around--this is going to be short and sweet though because it's almost 1 a.m. here!

What a crazy few weeks it's been--I'm totally off my schedule with Oxycise! and hope to get back into my routine very soon. Have moved to a new office further from home and I'm now working for two investment advisors instead of one and it's our busiest season right now! AAAAAAHHHH!!!

It's sweet of you to think of me--you're a real doll!!! Hope you are all doing well. I'm going off to bed now! G'nite!

Susan R.

Hi all you Oers!

Susan R-Of course I think of you, you are our celebrity Oer! Wow you do have a hectic schedule. I don't know how you do it ! It was so nice of you to pop in and say hi. I always like to hear how you're doing. Hang in there and just do O! whenever you can. Thanks for posting.

Okay I hope you won't be disappointed in me Juliette but I didn't do O! this morning because I had some other business to take care of and I was on a time crunch. I have to say I am missing it right now though. It does help with my energy level that's for sure. Well maybe I'll get some O! in tonight. It's just so much easier to do in the mornings though. I hope you all find some time to post today. Keep breathing.

Hi Gang, I tried to get my DIL interested in O this weekend, but unfortunately it didn't work. Oh well maybe someday. You'd think seeing how much better I look would motivate her
I have my good days and bad days, but throught it all I try to get in at least a few O's. Saturday morning was my day to measure, but I forgot...

I really don't know anything else, I just wanted to check in. How 'bout the new settup!! Neat huh

Hi everyone!

Barbg-I'm surprised your DIL wasn't interested in doing O! Maybe later on she'll change her mind! I know I sure love doing it and it's really changed the way I feel and look. I got my abs/upper body video the other day and I love it! Some of the positions are definitely a challenge and for those I just modify them if they are too tough but I really like it! Did you order the Life Lift tape yet? The facial exercisers are really good. I think you'll like them.

I missed two days of O and I was so mad. I just didn't feel like doing it but I got up and did my L2 this morning. I feel so much better now! I hope everyone is doing well. I hope you all can find the new board!

I want to ask all of you to say a prayer for the parents and families of the students at Santana High School. This school was just too close to home. I live in San Diego and when I heard about the shooting I was so worried it was my Son's school. It wasn't but I can't imagine what the parents were going through and the students as well. It was way too close to home.

Thank you everybody.

No Rose, I haven't ordered it yet. Do you think it's worth the money? From what I've read it seems to be just like the oxycise breath but instead of the puff & whiffs you hold your breath. Is that right? Well, I guess I need to buy it anyway to get the facelift thing right?

I haven't actually done a O video in a few days, bu I have been doing my own routine in the water and in the car. So I'm still O'ing

They finally got the new set-up going! Pretty cool - although it's weird seeing everybody's information on the side panel. Thank goodness they didn't ask us for social security numbers - jk

Anyway, did my O! today. Realized that I'm going through my 1/3 life crises - where I'm almost 30 and wondering what's going on! If it were the 70's I'd be on my way to some commune smoking funny stuff while I tried to figure out the meaning of life. But instead I am a professional woman of the new millenium and I look for hope in the pages of the many self-help books that grace the shelves of Barnes & Noble (sigh).

But, regardless, I really hope I am back on track with the exercising. I was reading the newsletter today about the couple who did it 7 days a week for a month, and if I could just DO THAT!!!!

Talk to you all later!

Hi Oers!

Yes this board sure is different and gives us more options but gives out more of our information. It amazes me at the number of posts I've made on these boards. A sure sign that I'm a "talker".

Barbg-I'm not sure it's worth getting the tape for just the facial exercises. You can always buy one of those facercise tapes for that for much cheaper. I would just do that plus I've noticed that doing O! really has firmed up my face and neck but especially that double chin of mine! I enjoy the O! breath so much more then the others. So I'm sticking with O!

Juliette-I was so surprised when I tried to log in over the weekend and found that this site was down. Then when I came back it looks like this! I'm still getting used to all the new options and haven't figured them all out yet. I haven't read the newsletter yet. But I do believe that doing O! everyday is the key to great successes with using it. Hang in there. I haven't been real consistent this week doing my O! either. I did manage to get up and do my L2 and I feel so much better since I did. I know you can do it. But if you do miss a day don't worry about just do it the next day. The important thing is that you do it or just do the breath if you don't have time for the whole workout. Do you have the commuter tape? That helps me out allot if I don't have time to do a tape I can get some breathing in on my way to work!

Okay everybody else please check in with us. We need to know how you all are doing!

Hi Oers!

Where is everybody? It's pretty quiet in here! I'm so glad it's Friday! I don't have much to report except I'm doing great with O. I hope everyone else is and can find some time to post! It's getting lonely on here. Have a good Friday everybody. I'll check back later.

Hey Rose!

I'm here. Haven't O!ed in two days though. AARRGGHH. Ok, in one day, actually... missed yesterday, but still have time today to get it in.

My goal is to get up early in the mornings to do it. With the sun coming up earlier, it's helping! I got up early today, but chose to journal instead, so hopefully I'll be able to O! tonight!

Hope you are doing well - of course you are - you are keeping up with the Oxycise!

It is getting quiet in here though - this room used to be hopping! I wonder what happened...

Hi Gang,
I'm still O'ng off & on. I've worked out a pretty good 15 minute about 30 position routine to do in the water. I like doing the O in the water. It seems to really work my abs with the water resistance. I can't seem to get into doing the videos here lately. I'm not sure why. I'm still playing with the new site. I'm adding you two to my buddy list. I'm not sure why or what that will do, but I thought I'd see.

WOW my son just pulled a picture of my mustang from the computer he uses to do the company advertising to the website here for my "avistar" or whatever they call it. I think I could maybe get into this new site.
I did the commuter tape today while I was running my errands. I finally found a website that has lots of good info on waterexercising. I've been looking for one for quite a while now. I printed off some of their exercises, and combining them with my "O" water routine, I think I might start moving in the right direction again.

I am thinking about starting the Oxycise, since my DH says that getting a treadmill is out of the question(at this time). I have done BF before, but it is hard for me to do it before I have a cup of coffee, or on an empty stomach. Does O require the same. I am also wondering if some of you O'ers would give some good reports of weight and inches you have lost doing this program. I am trying to get 40 pounds off by September, and wondering if it is possible. (i gave up sugar, so that is a start!) Thank you for any encouragement that you can give. Threads (sewing threads all over our house)

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I've been away but it was a busy weekend and today was equally as busy. I did however manage to work my O in!

Threads-I hope you decide to do Oxycise! I love the program and although I haven't weighed myself in a while I've dropped two sizes since I started O! in earnest in December. I also have started another program just recently just because O has gotten me going on this exercise thing and I have more energy since I've been doing O! Many people have gotten great results without changing their diet or exercise program. If you go to www.oxycise.com you can read all the testimonials. Susan R sometimes posts here and she is one of the testimonials. She has gotten great results. Please join here.

Barbg-Hey I like your car! I still haven't figured out all the options on this new board but it seems like it has allot of them. I think it's great that you've worked O into your water aerobics. It can only enhance your results. What a great idea. Keep up the great job Barbg!

Juliette-It's so much easier now that I do O first thing in the morning. I usually do L2 because it's a little quicker then my L3 or L4 and I haven't mastered my abs/upper body video well enough yet to fit it in to my morning routine. I know you can do it. We're all here for you!

Okay everyone I need to get back to work but if I get some time I'll check back tonight. Keep Oeing everyone and have a great night!

I have the envelope all made out to order the "O" tapes tomorrow. I will send a money order, so it won't take so long. If you can do these excercises in the car, I am hopeing that I can do them while sitting at the sewing machine. (It seems like I sit most of the day because I am a seamstress). These last few weeks have been stressful for me because I found a lump in my throat. I am suppose to have a needle biopsy on the 19th.(any excuse to stay off a diet). In the meantime I will start the Bodyflex program. Thanks for welcoming me to this thread.

Threads! I think you'll love the O! program. It definitely works... but there is one catch - you need to do it consistently! When I do it every day for a week, I usually lose an inch each week. It's a truly awesome thing to have happen! The PROBLEM for ME is that when I start losing, I tend to reward myself prematurely, gain the weight back (plus some) and then get frustrated. But I refuse to let that happen with this program. If I can lose an inch in a week, imagine what can be lost in two weeks, three weeks, etc!!!

It is a great thing to do if you are sitting down, regardless of whether you can do the body positions or not. The weeks that I noticed the greatest loss, were weeks when I would O! at my desk, in the car, in line somewhere, etc... Any breath is better than no breath at all!

Barbg - I love your mustang! Don't see the picutre up there anymore, but it is such a cool car! I would love to own one- but I have this weird preference for 4-doors, so I shall continue to drive my Contour.

Rose - Keep up the good work with the morning O! I think I'm just about to be able to start that. The temperature has been warmer and the sun is coming up earlier which is helping me get out of bed. Not last night though - had a horrible nightmare. It was "day residue" from watching the Keanu Reeves movie "The Watcher" Sunday night. Not that scary of a movie, but for some reason, it gave me awful dreams!

Well, I'm off traveling until Thursday. Won't be on till then - but I will try to O! in the hotel again! What fuN!
