Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 You know...I don't have a clue LOL all I can figure is that the oxygen helps to compress our fat pockets. I would ask Rashelle as she is the expert I'm just a trusted follower *smile* Seriously, that is a good question to ask her. I understand the no pain theory and to be honest I still walk 60 minutes a day. It's just ingrained I guess LOL But let me say that it is because I choose to walk...not because I have to! Lifelift really does give me all I need and it is wonderful on those days that I either can't get outside or to the gym that I can take 20 minutes inside my home and do the exercises and breathhhhhhhhh LOL As I said before I think it's such a way of life that I do it and don't even think about it...I do it in church....while on the phone, while driving. It took awhile to get the breaths down so that no one knows what I'm doing but once I was able to do that...the sky's the limit. warmly, Jenni Re: Is it really true? Hey, Jenni! Thanks for the info! I'm still intrigued by the thought of losing inches...where does the fat go? I've got that old 80's aerobics...no pain/no gain mentality still. Quote
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 Hi Jenni, I am new to Life Lift. I am enjoying it very much. I incorporate it into yoga and I breath the Life Lift way when I lift weights too. I absolutely love not having to run everyday. I am slowly trying to get more in tune with my body in terms of food intake -- I am a dietaholic. I diet like a maniac and then binge like a maniac. I think I have lost the same 15 pounds 10 times. I have done alot of reading about listening to your body and eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are full. Anyway, what I want to know is how do you do the breaths without any sounds or funny faces. I can't imagine doing them in public! I do do them in the car but I figure people are not paying too much attention to what is going on inside the car Thanks, Kim Quote
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Posted April 15, 2006 Hi Kim, My name is Pat and is so very nice to meet you!!! I have been doing Life Lift since the end of February. I have lost 8 inches in my waist, and that all heppened when I had just completed my first week of Life Lift breathing!! I was so astonished at the very rapid inch loss I experienced. This is the best weight loss/health improvement program I have ever come across!!! I have never dieted, as I don't believe in dieting for various reasons which I will go into some other time. I have only cut down my portions from time to time in my life, but have never deprived myself of food that I really like, no matter how " fattening " is was said and believed to be!!! I certainly never starved myself to lose weight!! To address your question, I like making those funny noises and funny faces when I do my Life Lift breathing, and I really don't care what people think of me if I happen to do Life Lift breathing in public, which I do only when I am in a public bathroom in the one of the stalls. I try to do the Life Lift breathing quietly when I am in public, but the best Life Lift breathing, as far as I am concerned, is done with as much noise as possible for as long as possible. I probably do somewhere between 45 and 60 Life Lift breaths a day. I am a true LIFELIFTAHOLIC!!!! I love it!!! I absolutely LOVE it!!!! Well, I have to go now, Kim, but since I post regularly on this great Life Lift group (I try to post 4 or 5 messages a day), you will see my messages every day, or ALMOST every day anyway, so we will get plenty of opportunities to chat with each other, both on list, and even off list, if you would like that!!! So, I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Easter, Kim, and may God bless you always!!! Once again, it is so nice to meet you!!!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Posted April 15, 2006 Welcome Kim I think the joy of doing LL in public is learning a technique how to do it quietly and without strangeness I'm sure if someone was really watching you they could see you breathing weird! Just have fun R Re: Re: Is it really true? Hi Kim, My name is Pat and is so very nice to meet you!!! I have been doing Life Lift since the end of February.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Posted April 15, 2006 Hi Kim, Lots and lots of practice LOL Every once in a while my husband will give me a funny look and I realize that I wasn't focusing on what I was doing. Of course in the house the entire family knows when I'm breathing LOL What I did to get to that point was to practice when the family was watching TV. If I got a look from someone I knew I wasn't quiet enough. When I finally got to the point where I could do many breaths and no one in the family knew what I was doing, I started practicing outside the house. Church was the best place for me to practice this because of the need to a) not look foolish and not disturb anyone else. I've never had anyone ever notice in church...but I guess the answer would be focus focus focus. Does that make sense? When you are blowing, barely open your mouth and when you are breathing in....you don't do an exagerated breath to the point that you are sniffing loud....does that makes sense? I also make sure that pah is a silent pah....in my head but not out of my mouth. It takes practice...but it can be done warmly, Jenni Re: Re: Is it really true? Hi Jenni, I am new to Life Lift.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Posted April 15, 2006 Thanks for taking the time to help out here Jenni. I appreciate it. You are a doll. I can do LifeLift so no one even realizes I am doing it when they are standing right next to me. Just keep your breaths slow and smooth and soft. In and out and when you do the lift, just simply contract your abdomen muscles. This is very effective and feels great. It is a great stress reducer to do it when waiting to get on a plane or even on long plane flights for me. The person next to me just thinks I am taking deep breaths and sighing.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Posted April 15, 2006 Hello Kim, Welcome to LifeLift. I can see you will be a wonderful addition to our group. As I said in a previous message to Jenni I can do LifeLift so no one even realizes I am doing it when they are standing right next to me. Just keep your breaths slow and smooth and soft. In and out and when you do the lift, just simply contract your abdomen muscles. This is very effective and feels great. It is a great stress reducer to do it when waiting to get on a plane or even on long plane flights for me. The person next to me just thinks I am taking deep breaths and sighing. When I am in the car or at the computer or in the shower then I do more of the traditional LifeLift breaths, but doing it the other way is great too.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Hi Jenni, Thanks for the suggestions! I guess I will have to do ALOT of practice before I can get quieter because I am a very noisy LL breather! LOL Kim Quote
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Dear R, LOL Yes I do look really strange when I do this! My kids think it is hysterical! Kim Quote
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Dear Pat, Thank you for the warm welcome and congratulations on your sucess with LifeLift. I too have lost 3 inches and am very pleased with that and hope it continues. The thing I like the best about LL is the feeling of energy and well being I experience. I am a full time nursing student and I have 2 sons so balancing college and kids is sometimes exhausting and stressful. However with LL I feel so much better Warmly, Kim Quote
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Dear Rashelle, Thank you for the advice and the welcome! Kim Quote
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 Hi Jenni and Kim, I don't think ANYONE is a noisier LL breather than I am!!!!! But it is SO MUCH FUN!!!! I NEVER thought that losing weight and taking care of myself could be SO MUCH FUN!!!! Love always, Pat Love always, Pat kimw419@... wrote: > Hi Jenni, > > > Thanks for the suggestions!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 Hi Kim, You're very welcome. Thank you for your congratulatory remarks!!! I LOVE LL and I am so happy that I came across it and Rashelle through Google Search Engine almost 2 months ago. I can tell you for sure that you will be just as successful as I am and that you might even be MORE successful than I am. I know what you mean when you speak about the energy that you feel in the LL breathing, as I feel it too. It is most evident to me in the " PAH " parts of the breathing reps. Thank you for sharing your busy life with me. I can imagine that dividing your time between being a full time nursing student and two sons is very demanding and exhausting. I am so glad that you have LL to help you through your very hectic and tiring days. It is good that, wherever we are and whatever we are doing, we can always stop and take a couple of LL breaths, isn't it? I have known many nurses who I have had as friends, and a few of my relatives have been nurses and one or two doctors thown in. I know how demanding medical lives can be!!! Well, take care, Kim!!! And we will talk on this wonderful list many times, I am sure. I am just dashing off some emaail replies right now, and then I am going to bed. It is 11:30 pmhere in Vermont as I type this to you now!!!! Have a wonderful night, my dear friend!!!!
