Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi there Steph, My goodness you are so full of excitement and joy I can feel it way over here. : ) I hope you don't stay a silent member of this forum; because you are amazing and you will add so much to our group. Maybe you have inspired other lurkers to come and say hi. I can say that wayyyy back when I was a lurker (maybe 8 years ago) I just didn't get as much out of the workout until I came on in and introduced myself. Since then, being part of such an incredible group of beautiful people; has certainly helped me in too many ways to list. Thank you for being here! Hugs, Wanda. > > > Hello Everyone, > > I'm the one who's 4yr. old uses LiftLift to help stop her hiccups.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi Steph! How motivational YOU are! It really is good to hear from you :-) When I hear this and all of the other wonderful friends on this group it REALLY helps keep me motivated. So big smiley faces :-) to ALL. Connie Hot Diggety Dog!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi Steph, What a great, message. I loved, loved, loved it. Thanks for taking the time to write it. It was great! Be Healthy and take good care, Rashelle Harness the Powerful Benefits of Oxygen with LifeLift. Oxygen burns fat, tones muscles, reduces stress Be healthier with each breath you take with LifeLift www.lifelift.com Animated animals to entertain your whole family while you workout www.oxygenzoo.com Hot Diggety Dog! Thanks Y'all Hello Everyone, I'm the one who's 4yr. old uses LiftLift to help stop her hiccups. I'm a fairly silent member of this forum, I use it to get the motivation I need by reading the different threads to get answers to questions I have. I must thank Rashelle and all of you who have expressed words of encouragement and other tips on this forum. You all have indirectly helped me sooo much! 2 years ago, I lost 25 lbs. of baby weight (I gained 50 lbs) in 2 months doing the 6Week Body Makeover.I went from a 14/16 to a 10/12, though I needed to lose 40 more I felt good about myself and stopped the diet. I slowly started gaining the weight back (gained it all plus some) and tried to start and stop sooo many times, but my heart wasn't really in it like at first, because though the diet worked, I really couldn't see myself eating according to certain rules the rest of my life to maintain my weight and I just wasn't feelin' the exercises. I ordered the Lifelift DVD's at the beginning of this year, but wasn't fully convinced that it was for me, so I'd do that off and on. I just didn't have that, " Aha " moment to get me motivated. Until Last Wednesday. I decided to secretly start the diet again and did well that day, but my heart wasn't in it.I was so over it. [8-|] Then without even speaking to each other about it, each of my parents during different times of the day tried to encourage me, knowing that I haven't been successful lately with my dieting and wanted to help me. I thought to myself, " Man, am I really that outta control, that my parents felt the need to talk to me about my weight? " [:-/] Later that evening I came to this forum and lifelift.net and read and read and read, I was so motivated by the convictions of everyone and how excited they were to just BREATHE. I decided to give LifeLift another chance, since I was bored with everything else or didn't have the time for other exercises. Thursday I woke up with renewed spirit and positive outlook, did tape 1 and took my daughter to school. Throughout the day I did breaths here and there and belly rubs. I didn't keep this routine everyday, but did do some breaths daily, and I DID NOT DIET. I'm a fairly healthy eater, who likes to eat with enjoyment and not feel guilty if I eat some M & M's or honey bun (both of which I did have). This morning, 1 week later, I didn't have time to workout to the video so as I got myself ready to start the day and get my daughter off to school I did LifeLifts instead of regular breathing. I thought, " Hey,this is a pretty cool way to work out without stopping what I'm doing. " I got on the scale without much hope, especially since I had pasta the night before and to my surprise I lost NINE POUNDS! HOT DIGGETY DOG! [] I'm soooo excited! I found something I can see myself doing everyday to lose weight or not, it's relaxing, refreshing, and now I understand why others have said that losing weight is an extra benefit. Now I must reward myself at the nail salon. I've learned to love my curves, but some curves snuck their way in, so after 20 lbs. I'm getting the body wraps! Whoo-Hoo! Yay Me! [] Sorry this was sooo long, but I just had to let you all know how excited I am! Thank you, thank you, thank you, keep being positive, you never know who your words may touch. Happy Breathing!

I love that you are so personable with everyone and that what has drawn so many to you and your wonderful way of nurturing our bodies. this form of deep breathing relaxes and calms me so much, that I sometimes feel like taking a nap after a workout, even my girlfriend called me while I was doing my workout and apologized for waking me!
